Step-Through

Skill-based move to attack aggressive shot-blockers: show the ball, draw the block attempt, then step through or pivot around the defender.

Key points

  • Drive at an overactive shot-blocker and show the ball so he leaves his feet.
  • If the pump fake creates space, step directly through.
  • Against physical defenders who stay on your body, use a left pivot and pirouette around for space.
  • Once free, finish, float the ball over the help defender, or pass to an open teammate.

Common mistakes

Trying to step straight through a physical defender who stays on your body, which can draw an offensive foul.
