    Spawning from the fail thread asking why people do between the leg moves. LOL.

    Poll will be up soon.
    Feel free to explain your choices!

    Flopping- I try to imitate chris paul. It is fun seeing the anger on the other player's face when you get the call.

    Eurostep. I am a big man (6ft over 300) and I play like a big, however I have surprising decent handling skills, a nice mid range jumpshot, and I am high percentage on bank shots from mid range (Tim Duncan-esque). I have decent back to basket game, but am much better face up threat. I like to start from ft line or 3pt line, jab step, pump fake, and if they bite I drive down the lane and eurostep finish with left hand. Nice change of pace to a hook shot or banker.

    I completely forgot about the Eurostep.
    I love that move too! It gets defenders nearly every single time!
    Really effective move.

    I've been doing the dream shake/rondo shake a lot recently. It's been working well too.

    Not the most athletic guy in the world and I don't have the best handles. So I don't really blow by people when I am handling the ball.

    I don't ISO that much, but when I do I have one go-to move:

    Drive hard right as much I can, spin left into a (hopefully short) fadeaway.

    My favorite basketball maneuver is buying a cheap seat to a Rockets game and then moving down to an empty expensive seat once the game starts....

    I got stripped once while doing it. That was embarrassing. :(

    Usually it works beautifully. It is reasonably easy to pull off as well.

    Post-up, drop the left shoulder, make contact, spin off the right shoulder and put it up off the glass.

    A nice, well-timed block.

    When it works, it's a thing of beauty.

    High/elbow post, turn around jumper a la Michael Jordan.

    Feel your man. Pivot spin off your left foot, drain a shot in their face.


    I'm a bad shooter, so it never works.
