Crossover Dribble is not only the offensive weapon in basketball offense, it is also a style and a spirit trigger... when you crossover your defender, you will feel that spirit up!
How to make crossover?
STEP 1: Dribble the ball in your dominant hand (let's pretend you're right-handed for the purpose of this example).
STEP 2: Use your body as a slight barrier between the ball and your defender, but still face your defender.
STEP 3: Take a step with your left foot.
STEP 4: Follow that with a step with your right foot.
STEP 5: Let the defender move in the direction you appear to be headed.
STEP 6: Switch the ball to your left hand with a quick, low bounce directly in front of your defender.
STEP 7: Take a step with your left foot around the defender.
STEP 8: Drive to the basket.
Tips & Warnings
The crossover dribble is easier to pull off if you really act as if you're going to drive in the initial direction you're headed.
The faster you can go through these steps, the harder it is for the defender to keep up.
When all else fails, watch Allen Iverson of Denver Nuggets. He probably has the best crossover move in the NBA.
