Hosted by two-time WNBA champion and two-time league MVP Cynthia "I've Got Six Eyes" Cooper, this second part of a three-volume set focuses on the fundamentals of offensive basketball. Assisted by a bevy of young female players, Cooper gives us the low-down (or is that the "high-side"?) on shooting, dribbling, and passing, with easy-to-follow oral directions that are put into action on an empty court. Her program would have been strengthened with explanatory on-screen text, chalkboard-style line-drawings, and more scenes of the moves in actual play, but, overall, it's a nice little package of shots and scoring tricks that would benefit beginning players of both sexes. The other volumes in the Cynthia Cooper MVP Video Series are A Champion's Secrets for Success, which focuses on a player's self-confidence and motivation, and A Champion's Workout, which describes the total body conditioning necessary for athletic performance. The 3-volume set, priced at $49.95, is recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (K. Glaser)
