The 9 BEST NBA Scoring Moves with Coach Drew Hanlen

Execute a live-dribble crossover in one direction while simultaneously jabbing your opposite foot, shoulders, and eyes in the other direction. After selling the misdirection, explosively attack downhill. Key points: - Cross the ball over while faking and jabbing in the opposite direction - Sell the fake with eyes and shoulders to shift defender's torso - Explode downhill immediately without carrying the ball Common mistakes: Letting the body move in the same direction as the crossover, or turning the palm upward resulting in a carry.

Push the ball forward outside the frame while jabbing with the same-side foot simultaneously, then quickly snap into a low, below-the-knee crossover to explode in the opposite direction. Key points: - Time the ball push-out and foot jab at the exact same split second - Keep the crossover snappy and below knee height - Eliminate extra steps to beat the defender clean Common mistakes: Taking an extra gather step between the push-out and crossover.

Initiate the same push-out action, but instead of crossing over, execute a shoulder stunt/skip fake to simulate the crossover before accelerating downhill in the original direction. Key points: - Push out the ball and simulate a crossover using a shoulder stunt and foot skip - Keep the dribbling hand firmly on top of the ball to prevent carrying - Accelerate downhill as soon as the defender hesitates or shifts Common mistakes: Letting the hand slide under the basketball during the hesitation stunt.

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.

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.

Drive downhill, lunge forward to sell the penetration, and pull the ball behind your back to keep your body between the defender and the ball before hopping into balance or taking a 1-2 cross-step stop. Key points: - Sell the drive with a deep forward lunge - Snap the ball behind the back to shield it with your frame - Square hips to the basket and elevate smoothly on balance Common mistakes: Exposing the ball out front or gathering before the pivot foot is firmly planted.

Drive downhill into the paint, gather the ball high in your power pocket off one plant step, and release a soft mini hook off the glass using your off-hand as a shield. Key points: - Bring the ball immediately to a high power pocket off the gather - Keep the off-arm up to shield the shot against a rotating big - Snap the wrist smoothly at the top with a high arc off the backboard Common mistakes: Dipping the ball low into a rocking motion, giving shot blockers time to contest.

Attack the rim and take off on the first step using the same foot and same hand (e.g., right foot, right hand) to release the layup before the rim protector can time their jump. Key points: - Jump off the first step without taking the traditional second gather step - Extend the ball directly from the power pocket to the rim - Release with a quick finger roll off the glass Common mistakes: Hesitating on the first step or gathering into a traditional two-step layup.

Attack a rotated rim protector by gathering into a protected power pocket, jumping vertically into the defender's chest/shoulder to absorb contact first, and finishing with extended arms second. Key points: - Keep the ball protected in the power pocket away from the defender - Jump vertically into the defender to absorb contact without charging forward - Extend arms and complete the layup after contact has neutralized the shot blocker Common mistakes: Lowering the shoulder into a charge or exposing the ball to the shot blocker during takeoff.
