One of the things I like to do is cut my defender in half. We kind of do the same thing dribbling the ball on the perimeter. But in the post your super close. (Thread)

I attack his outside shoulder cut him in half with hop step. I can't remember if this was using remote play (my releases suck with that much lag). It's that or the contest system got me. That's my excuse 😂

This is where again I cut him in half and use his momentum against himself (RS counter).

This awesome right stick counter crossover. I've shown this before. I've gotten a lot fouls this way.

This has been my new favorite thing to do to a defender. The cut off. I was going to make a video about this move. I've done it vs humans too

It's these little contact animations I keep talking about. Jokic seems to have a few of these cool looking ones.

Ok back to the cutting in half.... I learned this re post using the defender momentum against itself. It's very slick. When he tries to get back into the picture. I hop against his momentum. As you can see it's an open shot.

Here is a layup version...

This is another favorite of mine. The backdown hand switch. You have to time those body backdown with the hand switch. Hop drive right past his defense or him adjusting. Because all a defender wants to do it be center with your body. Move him and you win

Finally post. I've also been using hop step after clearing a defender. It puts the primary defender in jail. As you can see in that last clip. I read the defender cuts off my spin move so I counter with a step back one leg Jokic jumper. Enjoy, Good luck down low!!
