Jab Step
-Catch the ball, get low in an athletic stance, and protect the ball in your shooting pocket.
-Anchor one foot firmly to the floor; do not drag or lift it, or referees will call a travel.
-Forcefully step forward or toward the defender’s lead foot with your non-pivot foot to make them react.
-Keep the ball tight in your pocket or move it low from hip to knee without exposing it.
-If the defender stays still and does not bite on the fake, drive straight past them to the basket.
-If the defender backpedals to give you space, rise up immediately into a jump shot.
-If the defender shifts weight to cover your jab, use a cross-over or a counter move to attack the opposite side.
Jab-Cross Over
-Jab hard with one foot to make the defender back up or lean, then cross the ball over your body and explode past them in the other direction.
