So how to pull off a jump shot at the top of the key,
either side, left or right, really easy, okay?
So how to pull up a quick shot, okay?
Hopefully you'll make it, all right?
But a few easy things.
All you need to do is have a front crossover
or a back crossover, which I'm hoping you guys do.
And if you do, I'm gonna show you such a simple way
to confuse a defender to get a jump shot, okay?
So I know you guys are dribbling down, okay?
You're hitting the crossover and pulling up a jump shot.
You're coming down, you're going around the back,
you're pulling up a jump shot, okay?
I know it sounds simple,
but simply dribbling through the legs at the defender
will confuse him so much that when you hit the crossover,
you're gonna be able to pull off a jump shot.
It's magical, it's so simple, guys, okay?
So through the legs, okay?
Here, then hit him with the crossover, okay?
Jump shot.
Defender's in front of you, okay?
So you're here, you're here.
Once you go here, as you come through the legs, okay,
you got two options.
Crossover, shot, okay?
So here, here, and you will find a shot.
Or as you come here, around the back, crossover, shoot, okay?
So one, two, three, four, bam, okay?
Jump shot.
That's around the back.
We're gonna go down the front.
Front crossover, okay?
Here, here, bam, okay?
Now I know you guys need to work on crossovers and stuff,
but it really, really does work.
It works, try it.
It does work for me all the way through my career, okay?
One, two, three, back, okay?
Now the simple thing,
because you're dribbling through your legs, okay,
he's ready for something, but he doesn't know what.
Where if you just run at a defender, okay, he's ready.
He's ready.
If you pull a back crossover or a front crossover,
unless it's an Iverson crossover, he's still with you.
Try it.
You can either do the front crossover, okay?
Okay, or the back crossover.
Okay, it's just simple stuff.
I'm not going into a massive crossover.
You don't need to.
It's simply because you're going through the legs,
left and right, and your defender will be like,
and then he got you, you know?
Sorry, you've got him.
And you'll have the shot, I promise you, okay?
One, two, three, four, bam, cross.
Pull the jump shot.
That's the back crossover.
Hit him with the front.
You can go either side, it works, either side,
as long as the defender is dead in front of you.
He's rocking back, he's rocking back, okay?
You go, bam, crossover, okay?
He'll be there.
I'm gonna be a defender now, okay?
He's in front, you're in front, you're in front,
you're in front, you're in front, bam.
You've got two feet here.
Because I'm like this, what's he doing?
What's he gonna do, okay?
So I'm here, I'm coming back, I'm coming back.
I don't know where he's going.
I don't know where he's gonna, bam.
It's a horrible impression, but it is what it is.
Now I'm gonna be a defender
when you're not going through the legs, okay?
And I'm here, yeah?
When you go through the legs, a defender,
a good defender will be more open,
more like where's he gonna go, what's he gonna do?
Make sense, you know?
It really is that simple.
I studied movement.
It's been my job for 13 years, streetball guys.
I know how to break defenders.
Easy, okay?
Through the legs, through the leg, through the leg,
through the leg, crossover, okay?
Easy jump shot.
Now the situation has to be ready for you.
If your defender's on you tight, straight on,
coming back, you've got him, you've got him.
You can pull up for a three if that's your money shot.
Does that make sense?
If the defender is coming down this way,
you're not gonna be able to do it.
Defender is on you straight.
How to pull a very quick jump shot up.
Bam, ball's coming down, got it.
Through the legs, through the legs, through the legs.
Where's he gonna go?
Ah, bam, cross, okay?
You've got a jump shot there.
Trust me, if you just come down normally,
okay, you're gonna have to stop.
You're gonna have to try and shake him in a different way.
The game is so simple.
You just need to know how.
Full speed, okay?
Or as I would do it in a game, okay?
One, two, three, four, ah, bam, okay?
Bam.
You will get enough space to pull off a jump shot.
