Advanced Post Moves - Hook Shots
There are two main types of hook shots. My suggestion for the sky hook is to do a drop step into the middle of the lane. If the defense is soft you may be able to take that drop step towards the basket for a layup. If the defense is solid, the drop step will be further up the lane and you'll shoot the hook instead. In either case, you are shooting with only one foot on the ground.
For the jump hook, you will jump off of both feet. Make sure your feet are lined up towards the basket and you jump as you shoot. |
