JON SUPERHANDLES HILDEBRANDT

Jon Hildebrandt, a 5'10" point guard from Dayton, Oregon, led his high school team to two consecutive 2A Oregon State Basketball Championships. He was named a BCI All-American his junior year, and was named the Oregon 2A Player of the Year his junior and senior years. At Clackamas Community College, Jon led the Northwest in assists, averaging 9.4 assists with less than 2 turnovers per game. Jon later played at Linfield College and graduated from Western Oregon University. Many coaches and players who have watched and played against Jon consider him to be one of the best, if not the best, ball-handler in the country today.

Jon's odyssey to ball-handling perfection started when Jon was in the second grade and his father brought home video tapes of Pete Maravich. Jon quickly learned that size and poor dribbling skills under pressure were factors keeping him from making the basketball team. With his mother's microwave as a timer, a 3' x 6' piece of plywood in his bedroom and a miniature basketball court in an old barn, Jon embarked on a lifelong quest to be the best ball handler on the planet. Obsessed with watching the best ball-handlers in high school, college and professional basketball, Jon watched game clips of unique moves and drills as many as 2,000 times until he perfected them.

Though size and athleticism play a huge part in today's world of competitive basketball, Jon's ball-handling mastery and teaching skills offer teams and individual players the chance to improve their performance, giving them the Superhandles Advantage.
