The 9 BEST NBA Scoring Moves with Coach Drew Hanlen

Coaching notes

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.
