The Crossover-made basket combination. Aside from dunking - and maybe not even that - there isn't a better feeling in the game of basketball. Shake a defender off with a slick cross move, then finish the move off by scoring. The sidelines -- players and fans alike - buzz with, "who is that guy/girl with that nasty crossover?" Or they simply smile and nod, having seen you do that before. Either way, you've done the ultimate good in basketball: Created space from your defender, shot the ball, and the ball went in the basket. This is "Creating Your Own Shot" in its essence. There are other ways to create your own shot, yes, but they can only strive to *match* the feeling of the Crossover Scoring Move. Nothing surpasses it, not even dunking. Any coach, however, will tell you that a move is worthless if it doesn't result in a made basket or at least a foul, not just the shot itself. Moves alone are not worth points. So, a nice crossover move isn't enough; you have to finish the job. This Crossover Scoring Moves Handbook teaches you how to get the job, do the work, and finish the job with points on the scoreboard.
