Move Type: Game

Tip: Before attempting this, fix your defender by dribbling without moving laterally for a few seconds. If they drop their arms, you'll be able to perform the move with ease.

Move Type: Freestyle

Tip: To make this move look smoother, set it up with a few side-to-side crossovers.

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.

Move Type: Game

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

Use this one to startle your defender, but make sure not to let go of the ball. If you do, it could hit them in the face, and they may decide to return the favour. Check out the video below to see the trick.

This move may not do much on its own, but it can be very effective when used in combination with a crossover. Check out the video below to see how it's pulled off.

The Flick is best used in freestyles, although it can also help to create space between you and your defender. Check out the video below to see how it's performed.

If there's a second left on the clock and you have the ball at the half, you might just have to let it fly.

An old streetball favourite, this move is said to have been invented by God Shammgod. Used on its own or in combination with other moves, it's always useful for creating space between you and your defender.

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. 

1. With your right hand, dribble the ball fifteen inches in front of your left foot so that it bounces fairly close to your defender.

2. As they lunge for it, reach across your body with your right hand and pull the ball back diagonally across your defender's body so that it bounces wide of your right side. This should leave them turned to their right while you slip easily past them on their left. Alternatively, you can dribble the ball between their legs (see the video for a demonstration).

1. Dribble through your legs from back to front, from your left hand to your right.

2. Cuff the ball in your right hand and fake across your body in the motion of an underarm pass.

3. Do not release the ball, but pull it back across your body to your right side.

4. Without dribbling, swing it back to your left side.

5. Move your left leg forward and dribble the ball behind it (and through your legs).

6. Regain control of the ball with your right hand.

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

2. Cross the ball over to your left hand.

3. With the ball on your left, straighten up as if to cross it back.

4. Instead of dribbling the ball, simply drop it.

5. Lean forward and catch the ball with your right hand.

6. Pull it back to your right and continue from there.
