MOVES & TIPS

WHAT TRANSLATES

01
Hesi pull-up into a step-back
Sell the drive first. The defender has to bite before the step-back is open.
02
Momentum crossover out of a screen
Reject the screen once early. After that, they play the reject and the screen is free.
03
Pro-touch layup on the baseline
Late release. Contact happens before the ball leaves your hand, not after.
04
Post spin into a fade
Two dribbles max. Three and the double is already there.
