The 9 BEST NBA Scoring Moves with Coach Drew Hanlen

Coaching notes

Drive downhill with a defender on your hip. Plant and lunge hard with the same foot and same hand simultaneously, then hop backward onto a balanced, squared two-foot shooting base.

Key points

  • Lunge same foot and pound same hand simultaneously to force the defender to overslide
  • Push back off the plant foot into a balanced, squared shooting base
  • Elevate straight up without twisting or fading sideways

Common mistakes

Cross-stepping feet and tangling legs, resulting in loss of balance.
