The NBA Offensive Move You Need as Part of Your Game

I consider this the NBA move.

What do I mean by the NBA move? I mean, that any player coming into the league learns this move quickly, and perfects it...or they won't last long.

You see, most NBA players are tall, strong, have great jumping ability, have great timing, and have a ton of experience playing the game. Even though most people say there is no defense played in the NBA, that's just not true. Granted, a lot of guys slack off on the defensive end of the floor or aren't always in good defensive stance or position.

But simply by the fact that you're dealing with very tall players, who are usually execptional athletes, offense isn't a piece of cake. To score the basketball in the NBA, you have to be good.

And the one move that NBA players develop and use is a fall-away shot. It may sound simple, but there are various ways the top NBA players execute and perfect the fall-away, and I'll talk about those in the next few blog entries. So check for the next post. You'll be glad you did. Because I'll explain how you can use the fall-away to become a big-time scorer.

How to be a Great Point Guard

One of the most importants parts of being a great point guard is court vision.

Since point guards handle the ball so much, direct the offense, and often push the ball up the floor on fast breaks, it's vital that they can see the floor.

Having good court vision is the only way you can tell where your teammates are (and more importantly, where they are going), where the defense is, and how best to distribute the ball to your teammates so they have good scoring opportunites.

You also have to see the floor so you can create good scoring opportunities for yourself, whether that's a pull-up jumper on the break, or taking the ball to the basket.

Offensive Secret: Keep the D Guessing

One of the secrets to being a great offensive player is to keep the defense guessing. How can you do this? Utilize change of pace and change of direction on the offensive end of the floor.

Keep the defense on their heels, off-balance, and unsure of where you're going, and how quickly you're going there. Use cross-over dribbles, stutter-steps, and quick bursts of speed of to blow by the defender. Also, vary your moves: if you typically go to your left, throw in a couple drives with your right hand to keep the defense honest.

Start using change of pace and change of direction as an offensive player, and you'll increase your effectiveness...guaranteed.

The "Secret" Shot You Need to Learn

If there is one offensive move I think everyone should add to their game (or perfect it if it is already a part of their game) is the jump hook.

The jump hook, if done right, is almost impossible to defend against. It's a great shot close to the basket on post moves, or follow-up shots on offensive rebounds.

Work on this shot, with both your right and left hands and you'll increase your scoring average and effectiveness around the basket.

Work on keeping your body between you and the defense, go up with both hands, and get full extension on the shot release. Done right, it's a nice, soft shot that has a good chance of going in the basket.

Need proof of how effective a jump hook can be? Watch the Spurs play just one game and see how Tim Duncan uses the jumphook.
