While driving toward the basket plant and square up as you are about to shoot the basketball. This move does not create as much space as some other moves…but will cause the defender to be off balanced to the extent they are unable to contest the shot effectively. At this time…the offensive player should quickly jump straight up (balanced and under control) and shoot a jump shot. As the ball handler starts to wind up the crossover to go from right to left, the defender should begin to reach for the ball or shift their weight in the direction of where they anticipate the crossover to go. This should not be disguised…the action by the offensive player should be as if they were about to let someone steal their crossover. While dribbling, the offensive player should get low like they are about ready to execute a right to left crossover. One of two things will happen…the offensive player will have enough time to get a shot off (most likely a floater) or the post defender will be forced to help, at which point the offensive post player should be open for an easy bucket.Ī fake move is used to create the illusion of using a dribble move (let’s use the crossover as an example) to put the defender on their heels enabling an offensive player to get a shot off. When the ball handler gets a little bit past the defender they put their rear into the defender and force them to stay behind them (very similar to boxing out as if going for a rebound). This move applies the principles of a box out to the offensive side of the ball. (This can also be done with a left handed inside out dribble, followed by the right hand reaching across to pull the ball back). As soon as the ball comes up (and you see the defender leaning right) after the inside-out dribble, reach across with your left hand and pull it back to the left. Execute a normal inside out dribble and try to sell the defender on you going right. The first inside out dribble (right handed inside out for this example) is to bait the defense and get them leaning. This is an interesting move that basically combines two inside out dribbles. (This can also be done with a right to left through the legs + a left to right crossover) This should leave you with an opening to shoot or to continue attacking the basket. If this is done correctly, you will see the defender lean/lunge to the right expecting you to go right…as soon as you see this, staying planted on the right foot, do a right to left crossover pushing off that right foot to explode left.
This should be a hard between the legs dribble really trying to sell the defender that you are going right, as you do this between the legs dribble your right foot will plant. Do a between the legs dribble (left to right for this example).
Start the move while moving forward toward a defender. The killer crossover is done by combining one between the legs dribble with one crossover. Some of our favorite double/combo moves are: Some common combo moves are a crossover then spin move or a crossover then an inside out dribble. Some common moves would be a double crossover, double between the legs, or double behind the back. These are often time effective when you make the first move at an easy pace and almost allow the defender to guard it, then you make the same move in the opposite direction when the defender is leaning the other way.
These are often times high risk, high reward moves.
