This move will throw your defender off guard!

Instructions

Slowly go toward your defender with the ball in your right hand, as you get about 4-3 ft. away cross over to your left hand, quickly spin around your defender, take 1-2 hard dribbles down the base line, the defender pick up speed to catch up to you, as he does pull back fast. (He will most likely keep going or fall while trying to change directions). Then you take the pull up jumper!

Drive to the basket after the pull back.

The faster you move the better the drill works. After using this move 2-3 times try faking the spin and going to the middle.
