Designed to help basketball players hone their skills, Basketball City--hosted by Canadian superstars Steve Nash, Antonio Davis, and Leo Rautins--packs a lot of solid instruction into 40 minutes. From skills, drills and moves, to the importance of good communication between players, the pros share their tips on passing, ball handling, shooting, rebounding, and defense. Working with teen boys and girls, the stars demonstrate each skill in a one-on-one setting, and then supplement the instruction with actual game footage from Canada's National Men's Team. The production quality is top-notch and the fast pace and lean approach make this a great aid for both players and coaches. Extra features on the DVD include player biographies, a coach's handbook, trivia game, and photo gallery. Recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
