    I thought it would be nice to start a thread on signature moves of our players.

    So this is why you asked how to embed videos over at the hangout. Nice videos. We need that behind the leg dribble that harden did and his euro step

    Yea took me awhile to figure out how to do it lol
    Definately need the eurostep. The behind the leg was more of once off awesome play so im not sure it is a signature move but still makes me smile each time i watch it lol

    Surprised that is the move you used for Harden when he is the euro-step master.

    that asik blocking duncan three times video is probably why the rockets decided not to trade asik this summer.

    Not to be negative here but wasn't it the Ömer Layup Miss, Rebound, Layup Miss, Rebound and Layup brick?

    the jab step shown for dwight is a very poor example, imo. he gets very little separation from the defender on both the initial move and the finish in the paint. he basically converts the bucket because he's just more athletic and jumps higher.

    i thought his signature move was iso-iso-iso, ignore wing help, jack up a 3 with time expiring. brick. :grin:

    What about the signature move where Jeremy Lin drives into the paint jumps in the air and can't decide what to do? Or is that a finishing move?

    I couldn't think of a better person to play PF next to Howard and Harden. They couldn't ever double on Howard because they would be chasing Dirk all over the court.

    I'm shocked that Lin's move actually works. It's basically step around the defender, go to hoop. That shows you how quick and fast he really is.

    His move is a fundamental concept to gain an edge over the defender.

    If Howard's back-towards-the-basket play improves I could see a nice up and under move being added to this thread
