Description
The jumpstop/pro-hop move does what your allowed “two steps” does -- allow you to cover ground without actually bouncing the ball, but in a different way. You can use a leap or jump to slice through defenders and land strongly on two feet, and, unlike with your two steps, you still have the option of stoping completely and shot faking or passing after the jumpstop is completed.
(There have been times when our favorite players have been allowed to jumpstop and follow that with a pivoting move. I was taught that this technique was a travel and not allowed. Thus, this program will not feature any drills in which this technique is used.)
The jumpstop allows you to remain under full control of your body, absorb more contact (your center of gravity is stronger with both feet on the ground than with only one foot down), and affords you a couple of options -- described in the first paragraph -- that other ways of driving do not. This program will take you through an array of scoring moves and techniques, all using the jumpstop.
While going through this program, it is very important to remember that the moves and drills you go through in practicing are not, necessarily, the moves youʼll do in the games. Understand what a drill is: a skill executed repeatedly, to be ingrained into your muscle memory. The purpose of doing basketball drills is so your body memorizes the movement, which then can be called upon instinctively and unconsciously when needed. You are not consciously memorizing these moves for doing versus a defender. In a live game, things happen too fast for any human being to think of how to react -- by the time the thought comes to you, the moment to do what you thought of has passed. And with the endless possibilities and situations in the game of basketball, memorizing moves is not a viable strategy; every single play is a unique situation. What you want to be able to do in games is to react without thinking: whatever happens, you react instinctively and decisively. This ability is developed through two combined methods: skill practice and game experience. You have taken a proactive step in the skill practice area by getting this program; go to work. Then go use these skills in games to fine-tune your reactive, instinctive abilities.
