Bump-Off Separation Jump Shot

Drive into the middle, deliver a legal nudge with your inside shoulder against the defender while pounding the ball, float back, and establish your pivot foot before gathering into your jump shot. Key points: - Nudge using the shoulder without extending the arm to avoid an offensive foul - Keep the dribbling hand over top of the ball and delay the gather until the pivot foot lands - Land on a balanced base before rising into the release Common mistakes: Pushing off with an extended forearm or picking up the ball too early, causing a travel.
