Of course, your players aren't making this exact fake.
But it's the principle that matters. @KingJames moves his eyes and the ball.
It's believable — and it moves 2 defenders out of the way.
Best angles at :11 & :18 seconds. 👇
Point is, fakes are under-taught & underused.
So follow this simple rule — fake more.
And the game will open up. Players will score more and create like never before.
Shoot, if your whole team does it, you'll win some games you probably shouldn't.
Recap:
1. When pressured, use fakes 2. Your eyes are weapons 3. Quick fake before the lay-in 4. The double arrum 5. Fake with ball AND eyes. 6. Paint-touch fakes 7. The chiropractor
Bonus: The Lebron fake.

1/ It's called Spain action
Spain is a pick and roll set in the center of the floor. The first screen is set by a big, and simultaneously a guard sets a backscreen on the ball screener's defender.
2/ Option 1- Your big is going to be open running to the front of the rim as their defender gets hit with the back screen.
