Is this move legal? if so how is the right way yo do it? I see Lebron, A.I, and D-Rose and Mayo do it sometimes, but i cant tell if its legal because sometimes the refs call travel sometimes not its very inconsistant

[aarondsonixfanParticipant]

you just have to make sure you don’t take 2 steps before or 2 steps after the pro hop, if they don’t do that, then it is legal. If they don’t then it is called

[Michael.S.Participant]

thanks , i wanted to add it to my game because its very effective

[sheltwon3Participant]

It is very effective. I used to use it all the time and if you are athletic the possibilities are ridiculous just make sure not move your pivot foot if you hop and do twirls.

[sheltwon3Participant]

I take that back I believe if you shoot at the same time you move your pivot or take a step it will be not be called illegal. i have to look that up.

[Michael.S.Participant]

i stopped doing it because these un-educated refs in my h.s last yr always called me for a travel, anyways i think its an upgrade from the spin move t-parker and etc. use but i use both depending on the D

[Knicksboy34Participant]

what position do you play Mike? you should add the teapdrop in your arsenal…

[Michael.S.Participant]

i play the shooting guard. i do the tear drop alot but off 2 legs never 1

[Knicksboy34Participant]

oh Ok. I played the SF and PF so i got to use the tear a little bit.

Ya man, I mean the pro hop is a tricky move. I used it like once or twice. Make sure you practice 1st before you use it. Like play someone 1 on 1 and use it a couple times.

[Michael.S.Participant]

a bigman with a teardrop is great only a few bigmen are versatile enough to have the ability to put it on the floor and shoot a teardrop but i can see that ur versatile since u play the wing at the 3 and the bigman sometimes at the 4

[Knicksboy34Participant]

Thanks. I watched alot of tape on Barkley, Moses Malone and more recently Dirk. All big man should have some 2nd move.

Your a SG, can you make plays as a PG?

[Michael.S.Participant]

i prefer to play the point guard actually but i have to admit i need to work on my handle , i think i am a combo that can play either postition really well, and i love to set up my teammates and throw some flashy passes at the right times

[Knicksboy34Participant]

Cool, You love to play the point…tha’ts half the battle! I played last year with a guy who thought he was Iverson…

Your handle is easy….just get a tennis ball and pretend its a basketball and just bounce it…It works. In like 2-4 weeks, you will be shocked with your handle.

[Michael.S.Participant]

haha iverson is the reason every 5 foot nothing point guard thinks they can score 30 a game like him, im been using the figure 8 for a few weeks and have seen some improvement , but im gonna work more with a tennis ball because i wanna play point really bad next yr.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

how old are you?

I suggest just watch some film as well. You see things different.

[Michael.S.Participant]

just turned 16 in April, i watch film of A.I ,D-Rose ,Nash ,T-mac and John Wall as of now , any other suggestions

[Knicksboy34Participant]

Same age as me! Cool, I mean no other suggestions. Just nothing but Good Luck man!

[Michael.S.Participant]

Thanks good luck 2 u also

[boffacheeriosParticipant]

you could always use the tyreke evans method. Duct tape one arm behind your back and proceed to play one on one with only one arm.

[da guru]

mikenike look up gannon baker on youtube he is a training god

[Michael.S.Participant]

thanks i know the stuff he does is ridiculous( lefty threes , and his ball handling is super super fast)
