Description

Practice using a step back move to create space for the shot.

Summary

Dribble down the lane using a left foot jab or influence step and a right hand dribble. Plant the inside foot, use a slight hip bump on the defender and push off the left foot to hop out and away from the defender. On the drive you are facing the end line. While in the air square up to the basket, landing in balance, facing the basket. Practice from both the left and the right side. When executing the skill i game situations bump the defender with the shoulder and hip (don't push off with the arm)


Break down the skill by first working on deceleration. Work on stepping out, anchoring the front foot and holding it, staying on balance. Then add the push out to the side.
