I think it was fairly recent that they updated Horns with more actions but the problem I've been having with it, is that it takes much too long for the alternate actions to start up. E.g. takes too much time to do anything but kick off with a pass to one of the big men in the high post.

Btw I can assure you I'm not bragging and renaming Personally I also watch ItsNick since hes not only showing the usual "cheesy money plays" that every youtuber does but more so a lot of solid plays. His videos often are alsovery short and easy to understand.

You do a great job. I'm sure I'm missing a lot by not understanding German, but I get the gist of it, and just breaking down the plays and showing the positioning of the players at each point during the play helps me understand them so much better. Anyone who hasn't checked his videos out and is reading this thread should click now.

My wife is usually in the room with me when I'm watching, and Pham gets on her nerves. I was watching one of your videos the other day and she said "is that German?" I said yes. She said "his voice is soothing. He's not annoying like that one guy. I could listen to this all day." So my wife approves of you too.

I run the Hornets playbook because it has my two favorite plays, and because you've done videos on so many plays from that playbook that I just watch your videos and learn them, and then those are just weapons in my arsenal. But if you're going to look at another playbook, I guess I would be most interested in the Knicks. I know they've done a lot of work with that one and the Knicks freelance, so I would imagine it's probably more effective than most once you dive into it.

Keep up the good work!

I've been running Horns for months now, but this latest video made me switch to scoring actions. Some of it is slow to develop, but the Horns formation itself flows well with my offense and it suits my personnel.

I was playing a guy online yesterday, and he started off playing 5-out and cheesing, but after he saw me running Horns, he switched over to a sim style and ran Horns himself. I think people are just so used to cheese that when they see someone playing actual basketball, sometimes they just want to play the same way. I ended up winning by 4, but it was a fun, intense game.
