To be a good shot-blocker, though, you must have some of four things. Height, long arms, the ability to jump high and instinct. To get around your block, the person with the ball will try a number of things. If he trys a fade-away jumpshot, jump diagonal in the direction that person is shooting. Look at the person’s waist while defending him/her so you don’t bite on a head fake. If a person tries a hook-shot, go around him so you take away his (hook) shot. Following these rules will make you a better shot-blocker.
