Over the years the game of basketball has become growingly popular worldwide, particularly among young adults. The various moves used in basketball are very stylish and useful for shaking one’s opponent to the net. Therefore if you are interested in playing the sport, here are a couple of the moves that you should know.
Dribbling basically speaks about when a player is moving while bouncing the ball constantly at the same time. The wraparound is another basketball move where the person with the ball (ball handler) is bouncing the ball with one hand and dribbles it behind his/her back to pass it to his/her opposite hand. This move is primarily used when an opponent (defender) moves in to snatch the ball from the ball handler.
Another basketball move is the spin move where the ball handler turns his/her body to stand between the defender and the ball instead of facing the defender. This move can be performed while the ball handler is dribbling or while playing in a post position. But the abrupt spin can make the ball handler a little confused but if done properly it can successfully throw off the defender.
A crossover dribble is a move where the ball handler changes the pace at which he/she dribbles the ball to puzzle the defender. If the defender is moving in one direction and the ball handler does a crossover, it is hard for the defender to change directions so quickly and in some situations the defender might even fall down which is known as an ankle breaker.
Another move is the behind the back dribble in which the ball handler bounces the ball behind his/her back and changes it to the other hand. This move is different from the wraparound because the ball is not meant to go around the body as it is in the wraparound move. This move is most useful if your teammate is occupied, to get closer to the hoop with minimum space between yourself and the defender, or to outrun the defender.
In a 2 person basketball game there are some moves that are used which are not typically used in a game between 2 full teams as there is more space to run around and fewer defenders to think about. One of these is a give and go move where the ball handler passes the ball to his/her teammate and quickly goes to an open spot to receive the ball. This move is usually used to take the ball closer to the hoop while being able to move quickly to another position.
One more 2 player move is a back door play where a player gets behind the defense, receives the ball and gets an easy score. This move is usually pulled off when the defenders are focused on the ball handler and are not paying attention to the other player or the open space behind them.
