and this is the hesitation pull-up move. The hesitation pull-up move is a great move to

freeze your defender and allow you to score an open jump shot. Basically what you are

doing is using a hesitation dribble to get your defender to sink lower in their defensive

stance allowing you more room to shoot your jump shot. So it starts like this. As you

approach your defender you are going to do a hesitation dribble where you dribble just

a little bit higher then normal and keeping your hand on top of the ball. As you do that

you are going to chop your feet this chopping of your feet makes your defender think something

else is coming so they are going to sink a little lower into their defensive stance and

get ready to move. That is what we want because now that they have sunk a little bit lower

it allows us to pull up into a jump shot with separation uncontested hopefully. Alright

now let's check out LeBron James do it. This move works best if the defender is afraid

you are going to drive on them. If they are afraid of your drive they are going to over

react to your hesitation. So LeBron begins by sizing up his defender, he then gives a

small stutter. As he steps his foot forward it forces the defender to drop their foot

backwards allowing LeBron enough space to pull up straight into his jump shot. Thanks
