I KNOW we’ve all seen Chris Paul playing 1 spots with Bradley Beal and Jayson Tatum over with Drew Hanlen and Pure Sweat Basketball. I KNOW we lose our minds over that spinning behind the back move into a fallaway. What I don’t know if you know is that it’s one of his pet moves. I’ve been compiling these clips for a little while now because I have been fascinated with it forever. The thing about the one he used against Beal is that he’s attacking the right side of the basket, so he’s got the ball in his right hand, but it’s all about selling the drive. Bradley Beal HAS to cut off the angle to the basket and that allows CP to really pound that behind the back dribble AND spin into that shot. The biggest key to the rest of these shots is the THREAT of getting to the basket. Normally he sets up his defender by selling a drive to the rim. He’s so low and athletic and dangerous that if you don’t cut that angle off, obviously it’s a bucket right there. Now, most of the time he’ll have the ball in his left hand. He’ll get SO LOW, almost like a sprinter coming off the blocks type stance as he gets his right leg in front. When he gets in that split, now you’re dead as a defender because he’ll pull the ball back to his right hand and just rise up for a jumper in that space he’s generated. He’s clearly worked on that shot enough that he can make it no matter how well contested it is. I have about as many variations as I could find on this specific move, so forgive me if it’s not ALL the same. I don’t quite know about the terminology on this but another major key is his able to shot on the half turn. I first saw this move get broken down by the great Micah Lancaster in 2011 (link below) and I’ve been in love with the move ever since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_SNMUWWXQw If you'd like to donate: Venmo - @Evin_Gual Cash App - $EvinGual Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/evin_gual
