1. Dribble the ball between your legs to your right hand.

2. Start to spin clockwise and, as you do, lower your backside to the ground, letting yourself down with your left arm.

3. By the time you are turned completely from your defender, you should have your butt and the lower part of your back touching the floor.

4. Using your momentum, roll over on the floor (with the ball still in your right) and onto your feet, helping yourself back up with your left arm if required. 

Move type: Freestyle

Tip: Be careful not to bring your legs together too quickly so as to avoid the risk of injury to your knees.

Move Type: Game

Tip: Positioning of the ball is key. It must be placed close enough to the defender that they attempt to take it, but not so close that they can reach it before you do.

Notes: The original version of this move was invented by Rory "Disaster" Grace, who finished the trick by knocking the ball between the defender's legs with his fist. This is what gave rise to the name "The Punch".

1. Crouch down very low to the ground and dribble the ball rapidly behind your back.

2. Having done for this for a few seconds, cup the ball between your hand and wrist and flick it (from behind) over both you and the defender.

3. Pretend to continue dribbling until the defender straightens up, then run around them and retrieve the ball.

Move Type: Game

Tip: Put the ball directly in the middle of your defender's back to ensure that they can't reach it.

Move Type:Crossover

Tip: This cross is most effective when you already have a little space between you and your defender.

Move Type: Game/Freestyle

Tip: If your shirt is too tight or too loose, it will be very difficult to complete this trick. Notes: Move invented by Rory "Disaster" Grace.

Move Type: Game

Tip: Dribble the ball two to three feet behind your defender and it should be fairly easy to regain control.

Move Type: Freestyle/Game

Tip: Jump forward very slightly in order to catch the ball more easily. Notes: Move performed by Rashaun Daniels in Just For Fun Volume One.

Move Type: Game/Crossover Tip: Dip your shoulder in the direction of the fake to make it more convincing.

Move Type: Game

Tip: Make sure to work on this one on your own before you try it in the park. It may appear simple, but many players catch their head in their shirt as they attempt to pull it off.

The Killer Crossover is a shake most associated with former Golden State and Miami point guard Tim Hardaway, often being referred to as the “UTEP Two-step” as a consequence. In an era when crossovers were rarely seen, Tim would regularly freeze his defender to the floor with this one, earning the move its ominous title. Nowadays it can still be seen on the NBA hardwood, with each new generation of players putting their own spin on the old favorite.

Move Type: Game

Tip: Move quickly to avoid having the ball stolen, but be careful not to graze your knees on the floor.

Notes: Variant move performed by Tru Baller.

If there's any name you can attach to this move, it's that of AND1's Alimoe, whose frequent use of the crossover has left ballers from coast to coast looking lost. Although effective in most one-on-one situations, it's best employed in transition with a defender facing you up.

1. Dribble down the right-hand side of the court, towards the block.

2. Perform a counter-clockwise spin move so that you end up with your right foot nearly touching the baseline.

3. Take a hook-shot as if you are aiming to score, but throw the ball off the side of the board so that it returns to your hands. The defender should turn to look for the rebound.

4. Catch the ball and continue as desired.

Move Type: Game

Tip: Hold the ball slightly behind your knees in order to conceal it from your defender.

Notes: Signature trick of Tru Baller.

While not much to look at in isolation, this crossover can be beautiful when pulled off cleanly. Former Georgia Tech guard Will Bynum has broken it out frequently over the years, often using it to create space while caught in traffic. Simple to pick up but hard to perfect, it's a valuable addition to anyone's repertoire.

1. Dribble the ball between your legs to your right hand, and immediately perform a clockwise spin move.

2. As you are halfway through the spin (i.e. when you have your back to your defender), dribble the ball behind your defender’s back.

3. Continue the spin, and your momentum should take you in the direction of the ball. Retrieve it, and the move is complete.

Move Type: Crossover

Tip: The first movement is not the crossover. Watch the tape closely and you'll see that the player hesitates momentarily before taking control of the ball after putting it behind his back. This slight delay encourages the defender to reach for the ball, and it is at this point that you make your move.

If you want evidence of the efficacy of the move, you need look no further than Manu Ginobili, who found himself looking at thin air after Baron Davis turned him the wrong way with this one. Solid footwork and body control are required here, as well as good timing to ensure that the ball isn't exposed to the defender at any point.
