Hi I'm Coach Collin Castellaw with Shot Mechanics.com and this is how you do Carmelo Anthony's Jab
Step. Now Carmelo Anthony is on of the premiere scorers in the NBA and one thing that makes
him so good is he is a master at getting separation from his defender so he can get an open jump
shot. Now he has tons of moves that he uses to get his separation but his go to tried
and true move is the jab step. So during the breakdown be on the lookout for the 3 main
keys that you need to know to jab step guys just like Carmelo Anthony. Now if you like

time to breakdown Carmelo Anthony's vicious jab step. Alright so the first key to the
jab step is the jab itself. Check out how Carmelo picks up his foot and then stabs it
violently into the ground. This makes the defender shift their weight and get ready
to guard the drive. Key #2 is you want to throw a hard ball fake simultaneously with
the jab step. With the ball and your foot coming forward at the same time the defense
has not choice but to react. And the last key, you want to make sure that you get your
eyes up to your target as soon as possible. Most guys miss this shot because they don't
find their target until the ball is just about to release out of their hands. Alright so
remember the 3 main keys to the Jab step. #1 You want to throw that foot forward as
hard as you possibly can to really sell it making the defender think you are driving
the basketball. Key #2 you want to give a really hard ball fake to the inside of that
front knee. That way you can really sell that drive even more with that original jab step.
And key #3 you want to get your eyes up early as fast as you possibly can to locate that
target. Remember the longer you aim at the target them ore accurate your shot is going
to be. And that's about i if you want to check out more basketball stuff check out Hoop Culture
