Fadeaway Steps

Footwork principles for the fadeaway, emphasizing varied rhythm and fade direction based on the defender's position.

Key points

  • Mix up the rhythm and tempo of your footwork so defenders cannot sit on your moves.
  • Change your fade direction based on where the defender is guarding you.
  • If the defender is on your left side, do not fade straight back into his contest.
  • Practice fading straight back, fading to the side, and something in between.
  • Use your legs and repetition to build a consistent fadeaway rhythm.

Common mistakes

Using the same footwork with the same rhythm and tempo; defenders get used to it and sit on your moves.
