One foot finishes are a great option to be quick off of the floor and to use your athleticism to jump in the air to get the ball over shot blockers. The emphasis in this workout is floaters and “quick” finishes!

Foundation.. we are going to break down the same hand/same foot finish. This is a great finishing option to throw off the timing of shot blockers and be quick off the ground. 

We are going to start around the block, and simply step with your (right) foot and drive your (left) knee up. Arm angle varies with this finish depending on where the defense is but try to “scoop” this finish as it is quicker off the floor and to the rim.

Same hand/Same foot finish

Foundation.. we are going to break down the inside hand finish. This is a great finishing option if the on ball defender is on your outside shoulder or if the defender jumps and contests your finish with two hands straight up in the air, you can go underneath their arms and extend to score. 

We are going to start around the block, and simply step with your (right) foot and drive your (left) knee up. Then extend the ball out (underhand) with your inside hand (left)

Inside Hand finish

Foundation.. we are going to break down the same hand/same foot floater. A must have finish if you are an undersized guard! This is a great finishing option to avoid driving the ball to far while also throwing the on ball defenders timing off. This is a very “awkward” finish which makes it deadly if you can master it. 

We are going to start around the block, and simply step with your (right) foot and drive your (left) knee up. Focusing on “pushing” the ball with your palm open. Do not flick your wrist like a jump shot. The push allows you more arc on the shot.

Same hand/Same foot floater

Foundation.. we are going to break down the 1 foot floater. A must have finish if you are an undersized guard! 

We are going to start around the block, and simply step with your (left) foot and drive your (right) knee up. Focusing on “pushing” the ball with your palm open. Do not flick your wrist like a jump shot. The push allows you more arc on the shot.

Process… now we are going to move to the elbow and add one dribble/between the legs. The key on this is “dribble step” timing. As you step with your inside (left) foot, you MUST dribble simultaneously. Be sure to “scoop” the finish and focus on being quick off your second (right) step. This will make the finish much easier and more fluid!

Same hand/same foot (Elbow)

Process… now we are going to move to the elbow and add one dribble/between the legs. The key on this is “dribble step” timing. As you step with your inside (left) foot, you MUST dribble simultaneously. Be sure to extend your inside hand (left) out and away from the defender.

Inside hand (Elbow)

Process… now we are going to move to the elbow and add one dribble/between the legs. The key on this is “dribble step” timing. As you step with your inside (left) foot, you MUST dribble simultaneously. The steps on this finish are much smaller than the others. Focusing on a quick “1-2” step and immediately jump off the (right) foot.

Focusing on 
•Pushing not flicking 
•Open palm 
•Arc
