What is your signature move on the basketball court? Do you even have one? Or are you still learning the game and could benefit from adding a few more moves?
The YouTube video at the bottom of this article is about 45 minutes long but you will want to set aside time to watch it. The video contains one of the best discussions on Basketball moves that I have come across in a long time. It also features video of the “Signature Moves” of a long list of NBA All Stars and NBA Hall of Famers. The moves they talk about and show include ones for all positions… “Guard Moves”, “Big Man Moves” as well as some “Unstoppable Moves”. Don’t you want to see these moves? Sure you do!
The video also contains a couple of the drills that helped the players develop the ball handling skills, footwork and physical abilities necessary to make their moves legendary. If you are serious about improving your
basketball game, this video is one that you will want to watch.
Here is a downloadable PDF of the list of basketball moves that they talk about in the Youtube video…
One quick thought before you watch the video and start planning your own “signature move”…
Do you notice that there aren’t a lot of repeat names on this list? And the ones that are repeated are simply variations on the same move?
This is because you don’t need all these moves to become a great basketball player. In fact, if you try to focus on more than one move at a time you may end up not being good enough with any of them. The best advice is to see which ones fit into your game and the position you want to play… and focus on just ONE move until you have mastered it. This means that you can use it successfully in a game against real competition. Some of these moves are relatively simple while others require more athletic ability or ball handling skills. Start where you want and build your game one move at a time.
