Dribbling moves

Crossover dribble is one of the best moves to improve your game. This kind of move has style and finesse when done right. This type of dribble is done while changing the direction of dribbling by bouncing the ball from one side to the other. This is often the best exploit to confuse the defenders momentum because of the dribblers' new direction.

Pass

Jump pass is another way to improve your game. This is one of the moves that you can do to add to your style points, a jump pass is performed while your feet are off the floor. When done right, it will likely confuse your opponent, causing a fake shot which gives your team another advantage of scoring.

This move can be perfectly executed when the defender is overly concentrating on defense leaving them weak to the other player waiting to perform a score.

Shots

Finger Rolls are always stylish and a very good way to improve your game; you can perform one by holding the ball in one hand during lay-ups and lifting your fingers and eventually rolling the ball into the basket. The motion provides the basketball with a sense of finesse and graces which the ball will roll around the rim to drop into an easy stylistic score.

Strategies

When you want more moves to add to your playing game, the jab step is worth a try. This can be performed when you hold the ball before dribbling, but at the same time your non pivot is doing a repeated jabbing step. This can be used to see if your defenders weakness and to guess his next moves by just looking at his reactions to your move.
