Luol Deng Teaches Spin Move

Luol Deng teaches how to spin around the defender correctly, what to pay attention to, and how to finish. He starts by saying: “basketball is a game of reaction.” Have your defender react to your first move to beat him with your counter-move.

1. Have your defender lean to one side.
2. As soon as he leans, spin to the other side.
3. Put the ball away from the defender to protect it.
4. Then, look up towards the basket. See help defenders coming. See you teammates. See if you have a shot for yourself
5. It is not good enough to beat one guy and be happy with it. You have to learn to react to what’s happening next (basketball is still a team game!).
6. Speed is important, but what’s even more important is being smart about it. You have to have your defender lean to one side, then you change speed to beat him.
