The crossover is one of the most effective moves in the game of basketball. It’s a move every serious basketball player should have in his arsenal because not only is it an extremely effective move but it’s also the most crowd pleasing move in the game of basketball.
When you perform a crossover move properly, not only will you break your defender’s ankles and blow by him but the crowd will also explode in excitement as they watch your helpless defender drop to the ground. In this article I’m going to teach you the key to a deadly crossover move, but before we get to that you first need to understand...
The #1 Mistake Most Players Make When Performing A Crossover Move
When performing a crossover move most basketball players think that speed is the key so they try to perform the move as fast as they can. That’s one of the worst thing you can do when performing a crossover move. Here’s why:
When you perform a crossover move, what you’re basically doing is faking one way and going the opposite way. When you perform a crossover move too quickly then your defender doesn’t have time to see the fake and if he can’t see it, then he can’t fall for it so your move won’t be effective at all.
The Key To An Effective Crossover Move
As we talked about earlier in this article, when you perform a crossover move what you’re basically doing is faking one way and going the opposite way. The key to performing any crossover move properly is that fake step. You need to sell that fake step and make your defender think that you’re about to go that way and as soon as he leans to that side to cut you off you want to quickly change directions and go the other way.
Make sure you exaggerate and slow down your fake step and literally make it obvious that you’re about to go one way and of course you want to quickly change directions and go the other way as soon as you see your defender is convinced. If you can do this properly, you’ll start breaking a lot of ankles on the basketball court.
