Same Foot Same Hand Step Back Jumper by Kyrie Irving ft. Trey Slate

So many times there is little to no space to do just about anything with the ball, and many of these situations occur at the times when the shot clock is ticking. We are going to analyze one of the solutions that we saw Uncle Drue do. Let us say it again, these moves are done by some of the best ballers in the world and they are a thing of art. Do not teach your players these kinds of moves if they haven't done the basics. The coach who will help us with the breakdown today is none other than Trey Slate, a skill development coach who is currently working with Avery Bradley and Buddie Hield.

Here we can see the situation in which the defense is close to Kyrie, and if we take a look at other players, both sides are ready to double him up if he tries to penetrate either way.

The move that he chose is a direct step dribble to the right, and because the defense has played its role and stayed on to him, he had to stop which he did. He made a stop in a stance where his right foot was in front and with the ball in his right hand. We can see that the defender is close but not in a good posture.

Now, this is the important part. While the right leg is in front, Kyrie is making a between-the-legs dribble, a reverse version with the same arm and same leg, while the defender can not stop fast because his stance is not god. Kyrie is then taking the extra step back while making a separation from the defender. The first step was with his left leg.

Let us see the video:
