Hello and welcoming back to “thebballlovers” blog!!!! This is the place where we share our love of basketball.
After writing about many drills like pass and shooting, I would like to give all of you a break of that boring thing and introduce you to the interesting things.
We as a basketball players can not avoid the truth that NBA is one of the most influenced league to motivate people to play basketball. I am one of them that follow NBA since I was first playing basketball. One of the thing that I usually do is imitating that move of famous basketball player because it make me look cool.;)
Therefore, today I would like to share some signature move of the NBA players which is popular among the basketball players.
KOBE BRYANT – POST FADEAWAY SHOT
For me personally, Kobe Bryant is like MJ in my generation because I grew up watching him won many rings. He will often use the fadeaway move against his defender. He will started with the post and a few dribble with the shake to fake the defender. After the fake, he will immediately use the fadeaway shot to score which is the most effective move of him. He still use it on his last game before he retired.
I remember imitating his move of shooting over the blackboard after watching he play against OKC. It is incredible to make the shot in the situation like that.
Many of the NBA player tried to mimic his move but I think it can only be one to use it most effectively and beautiful.
RAJON RONDO – BALL FAKE
He is one of the most creative players in NBA because he created pretty of beautiful move to score and assist. Ball fake is one of the most popular move of him that people are often use which is mostly effective. This move is all about using of the ball to fake to defender in term of direction.
I often use his move of fake pass for layup against my defender a lot which is quite effective and often make the crowd get loud.
DIRK NOWITKI – ONE LEGGED FADWAWAY
For a guy with the height of 7 foot that can shoot accurately, it is nearly impossible to guard him while he doing the fadeaway with one legged between him and the defender. Dirk Nowitki is the one who away came up in my mind whenever I see this one legged fadeaway move. Like what Lamacus Aldridge said on the video clip below ” Dirk don not need much space between to get up then when he shoot he lean he back so far that you can not block it”.
JAMES HARDEN – EURO STEP
James may not be the one who created the euro step but he is the one who is famous for this move. He often use it as a weapon for his fast break. Because of his speed, I think it make the defender hardly predict his direction of scoring. I remember the game that his use it to beat the buzzer and to won against the Wizard. You can watch the play right at the end of the video clip below.
STEPHEN CURRY – QUICK RELEASE 3 POINT
Stephen Curry is the one who change the game of basketball from driving to score to just don whatever to score at the three point line. He need only less than a second to release the ball and when he release it the ball get very high before it fall to the hoop which help him to avoid the block from defender. He can shoot the ball from mostly every where to make the three, if he is wide open. He is one of the most famous NBA player of this decade.
With step back,it creates space for his to shoot but sometime it is not enough for other player because Curry’s releasing time is 2 times quicker than some player.
This is the five players on the list today and please stay tune because it might be some more coming up!!!!
Hope you enjoy the blog and I recommend you to use some of this move the make your play look awesome.
