Clutchfans: What's your favorite basketball maneuver?

the tea bag

 

I prefer the 360 tea bag.

 

Flopping -- always the most entertaining move and is where legends are made.

 

Another vote for flopping. (Note: there's a clear difference between flopping and taking a charge)

If I see some big dude driving to the lane, I pretend like I'm about to defend him at first and then get the schett out of his way. Don't wanna get hurt.

Another thing is do the MerGady "Eeaayaaay!" yell when I know I'm about to miss a shot.

 

Spin dunk...I usually call an iso-play, walk the ball up to halfcourt, hold down the turbo button and do the spin dunk.

 

Quick runner/ floater off on foot. It's hard to anticipate, and mine is deadly

 

The fadeaway in the post, along the baseline, and away from the defender. Easily, my best, and favorite go to move.

 

but yeah, for serious I like floaters, stepbacks, fadeaways (off one foot like dirk) and hook shots...if im not chucking up three balls...i can't dribble for ****.

 

The stepback is a thing of beauty.

 

Even though my 3pt shot is spotty (on a normal night probably 50/50 if it's a wide open look) I do shoot a lot of them and I've got a nasty fake. So my go-to is usually to get my defender in the air and then depending on the D shoot a wide open midrange j or penetrate and kick.

If the defender doesn't bite on the fake, it's usually a between the legs crossover, dribble to the weakside, hard pivot then fadeaway.

 

nguyen faints.

 

I prefer to play on the block. So I do a little Dream Shake, one or two dribbles to the inside fake the jump hook and spin back baseline for the fade away.

I do that once or twice, then when they start jumping, hit em' with the up and under, or the initial jump hook.

: (

This is making me sad. I don't know how long it will be till I get to play again. Herniated disc, going to the doc today.

 

From out of bounds under the opponent's basket pass in off of the back of the man guarding the inbound and recover the ball for the easy layup.

 

Spin right, fake jump shot, and drive to basket and lay-up.

 

Good to hear all of you have good moves.

Here is my favorite maneuver order: A great rebound or steal on my part in the defensive side that starts a good break or shift in attack... followed by the stutter-step cross-dribble to attract a couple dudes and dish off to the best shooter from up-close is my second.

"...when Dream hit that one shot with his back to the goal without looking, I was all 'whooooaaaaaa, man... somebody's in trouble... it's gonna be a long night...'" - Robert Horry, Double Clutch City

 

I love doing doing this move.
