| Allex Iverson doing the crossover |
The Killer crossover! He is left behind, no match. You probably heard that shouted the last time you were at the ball game. Throughout the world, people play basketball every day. Basketball is more than 100 years now since it is invented by James Naismith. As the time has passed, basketball today has evolved with new moves. One of the famous moves in basketball is called cross-over; the basic mechanics of crossover has five steps.
The first step is you have to keep your stance low, bend your knees until your hands can touch your knees so you can have your balance.
The second step is you have to dribble the ball between your legs right side. Remember you have to catch the ball with your right hand after you dribble the ball between your legs.
The third step is when you dribble the ball between your legs; you have to stretch your leg lower. Your right leg must face right direction and your left leg must also stretch like you are going to kneel.
And the fourth step is you have to sell it with your eyes. It is much more effective when you are looking to the direction where you are faking, you can also add arms swing off your hand but it is not necessary.
The final step is the cross over to the other direction. After you dribble the ball between your legs to the right side, dribble it quick to the left side and blow defender with full speed. Former and NBA Player Tim Hardaway Sr. Invented this crossover move and today you can see players are using it.
Perhaps the next time you play basketball, you can use to cross your defender and make buckets. Even If you’re not a basketball player, you will know and learn the art of crossover that every player is doing.
