  • Collin Castellaw with Shot Mechanics.com and today because of Allen Iverson's retirement

  • we are going to teach his signature crossover move. Allen Iverson was so good at this move

  • he devastated his defenders over and over again even if they knew it was coming. There

  • are a few simple keys the will help your footwork and really sell the move and you will be snapping

  • ankles like AI in no time. And don't forget if you like what we do over here at Shot Mechanics

  • feel free to give us a like, comment, or subscription that way you help the channel grow and we

  • can keep spreading the word. Alright let's learn how to drop your defender like a sack

  • of hammers. So there are really 3 main keys to this move and it all begins with a long

  • outside step. Check out how Iverson steps out wide making it look like he is going to

  • the left. Once you have this long outside step it is important that you keep that leg

  • locked and loaded so you can spring off of it in the opposite direction. Then you keep

  • the crossover below your knees that way as the defender is sliding by they can't swipe

  • it with their hand. Now just explode your hips by theirs in a direct path to the basket.

  • if you really want to sell the move like AI throw your shoulders over knee as your leg

  • is extended. That should really sell the move. So keep in mind there are 3 main keys you

  • want to think about when preforming this crossover. Number 1 you want to have a long outside step

  • that way it sells it and really makes the defender think you are going that direction.

  • Number 2 after that long step you want to make sure that leg is locked and loaded that

  • way you can spring back the opposite direction. And number 3 you want to make sure you keep

  • the crossover below your knees. Because your defender is going to be moving that direction

  • their only chance to get the ball is going to be to swipe at it as the are moving by.

  • keep it low and they won;t be able to get to it. And that is everything you need to

  • keep ion mind when doing the allen iverson crossover.And becuause we have not done it

  • in a while and because you guys are the best fans on the internet we are going to give

  • away another jersey. So we are giving away this crazy crisp LeBron James jersey courtesy
