Boxing Out: Sounds simple enough but you'd be amazed how many players (even pros) dont box out.
Boxout by putting you body between the hoop and ur defender. Get wide and no matter what keep your eyes on the ball. Once
you see which way its going, hit the D up with alil Dennis Rodman and get the rebound
Face up Defense:
Now this is where nasty stuff happens, and if you don't know how to play straight up D, the nasty will be
happening to you.. Rule number 1. watch their waist not the ball. Even the AND1 ballers say this and they have nooooo defense.
2. Slide your feet, dont cross them or you might be gettin crossed too. It also helps some time to keep your outside hand
(hand closest to the sidelines) in the shooters face to distract them.
The Room Makers: These are normal offensive moves such as the jab step and pump fake that create
speace between you and the bum trying to stop you from droppin your 20th point. heres my top 3.
Jab step: Easiest and works well. A simple jab of the foot could make your man jump and make some
space.
The instep:This is better known as what jordan did to byron russel. Whatever hand your dribbling
with you take a quick instep with the opposite foot and then hop back. Works wonders.
Pump Fake:Old school, as you can see in the pic at the top of the page, this can do damage. A
fast pump fake can send ya man stupidly to the air and leave you with a wide open lane.
