Run the Fast Break like a Pro (video)
The best playmakers in the game have mastered the efficiency AND effectiveness of their breakout dribble—they score more points, and create an advantage for their team.
Practice this breakout dribble to become a better playmaker on a fast break.
For a breakout dribble to be most efficient:
- Push and chase—don’t dribble the ball at your feet.
- Use roll crossovers—don’t keep the ball in your same hand.
- Settle stop with back breaks—regardless of how fast you’re going.
For a breakout dribble to be most effective:
- Sneak a peak before you get the ball—don’t get caught by surprise.
- Get your eyes to the rim—before you turn and go.
- Sweep and breakout with whichever hand is closest to where you’re going.
