I have been researching and researching, and this is the result. My studies have led me to these few tips that, if put together, make a truly brilliant streetball video. Get a camera, get a ball, follow these steps, and you will be on your way to greatness.

1)Music
You may put the video to only one of these two songs, or your video is already on the path to failure. Use only World's Greatest by R. Kelly or Ballin' by Jim Jones. These videos will show that you know the music scene, and it will give you street cred. Now that we have the music, let's move on...

2)Location
Another crucial aspect to your video is location. You may think that you want to do the video in a gym or on the streets. No. This here is streetball, not streetball. Take the video on your driveway. It shows that you don't need the streets to play ball, you can do it anywhere. Playing on your driveway will strike fear in to your opponents, because they need measely gyms and streets to excel, while you only need your driveway. If you want to, have your mom actually take the video of it, to add some bonus fear in your opponents.

3)Content
The content of your video will really get the people hooked. For the most part, do not get a defender. This is your time to do moves that will not work in a game. Freestyle around. Never dribble without holding the ball for a minimum of one full second first (never dribble without carrying!). If you must get a defender, however, only fat nine-year-olds will do. This shows people that you can take anyone, even people that they wouldn't think can play defense.
Also, make sure that you school inanimate objects (tables, chairs, etc.) for the same reason.

4)Description
This can make or break a baller. In your description, never ever say that you were trying. Always always always say that you were just playing around or goofing off, even if you were being serious. This will do two things: It will show people how good you are even when you are just fooling around, and it will give you an excuse if you suck more than you thought.

Now ballers, take these tips to heart, go out there, and shoot a killer video!

P.S. If anyone else has tips that they've gathered, feel free to share.
