🏀 INSIDE HAND FINISHES 🏀
Finishing at the rim isn’t always about jumping higher, sometimes it’s about throwing the defenders timing off.
Inside hand finishes change the traditional layup footwork by planting off the inside foot, allowing the offensive player to get to the ball up quicker and disrupt the defender’s expected timing.
And timing matters. ⏱️
Wait too long and the help-side defender has time to rotate over and challenge or block the shot. Get the ball up at the right moment and you can finish before the defense is ready.
Different footwork. Different timing. Another tool for finishing around the rim. 🔥
