The Jordan Crossover

Catches the defender slippin and might make him fall. The same crossover that Michael Jordan pulled off on Bryon Russell and made him fall in the 1998 championship game. Dwyane Wade also hit Eric Snow’s sorry ass wit it and dropped him to the deck.

The mirage

The drill requires two balls.
Bounce around the center circle or either of the free throw circles with two balls for thirty seconds as fast as you can, look up stay low, do not worry about speed at first, get the technique and rhythm first and speed will come along as you practice.

Kill the cross

In order to do this drill you need two balls. You get the balls and jump while you’re dribbling. Then you touch your stomach and dribble with your knuckles. Then you bend over and dribble with your knee. This will give you a well balanced crossover.
