Description
The triple threat position -- the situation in which you have the ball and have yet to initiate your dribble, and are a threat from your current position to either dribble, pass or shoot -- is the most powerful position for an offensive basketball player. A defender has to defend against all three threats (that is, if you are capable of attacking all three ways) and has no idea what you are going to do. Essentially, she is at your mercy.
Are you prepared, skill-wise, to take advantage? This Hoop Handbook will have you on your way, with it’s focus on the jab step and options using the jab step.
A jab step is a step you take with the foot that is not your pivot foot to probe and attack the defense. A jab step can be slow or quick, short or long, to the left, right, forward or backward. Its purpose is to put pressure on the defense, and to see how a defender reacts to it -- and then to take advantage of what you see and feel. This Handbook is not to tell you which moves to use and when -- that’s not how you play high-level basketball. You must develop the skills to respond to what you see in the moment, which you cannot predict. With enough skill, you will have a move or technique to react to anything and everything a defense/ defender tries.
We cover passing in the Passing Mini-Handbook and shooting in the Shooting and the Scoring Moves #2 Handbooks. This Handbook will focus on attacking off the dribble for drives and jumpshots with the jab step. Once you become familiar with the movements, you will find that you can get creative and come up with your own combinations of moves and footwork -- the driving moves can be used to create jumpshots, the shooting moves can be used for driving, etc.
