Streetball
is a game filled with
trash talking and showmanship. Players with
flashy nicknames and impressive skills play it
on urban playground b-ball courts and in
gyms.
A popular sneaker company has a televised tour
on a well-known cable sports channel where
viewers can see players do these streetball
tricks.
Shirt Catch Bounce
the basketball and then catch it between your
feet. Use your feet to flip the ball up behind
your back as you jump slightly forward. Flip the
back of your shirt up so you can catch the ball
underneath it.
The Tornado Approach
your defender while dribbling the ball. Palm the
ball and pretend to pass it behind his head.
Loop the ball above his head and do a spin move
so that you can get to the basket while your
defender is still behind you. This is the
Tornado.
The Back Breaker Move
the ball from hand to hand. Stay low to the
ground. Lean back and to one side. Place the
hand on that side on the ground and bring the
ball behind you with the other hand. Wrap your
arm around and under to bounce the ball through
your legs.
One Handed ShammGod Hurricane Get
the ball in your weak hand, lurch out with the
ball in that hand, but pull back, bounce it
through your legs, grab it with your other hand
(your good hand) and with the ball in that hand,
reach around your body, to your other side, and
bounce through your leg again, the ball should
bounce out in front of you, the D should
probably be confused or just plain burned, so
grab the ball run around him.
Weird Crossover Hurricane This
trick is done all with one hand... with your
good hand, bounce the ball behind you, then do a
crossover so the ball is bouncing out in front
of you, quickly bring out that same hand, grab
the ball, and reach around to your other side,
and bounce it through your legs, grab the ball
with the same hand.
Dragon Walk Rainbow This trick is
very hard to understand... with the ball in your
good hand, roll it, from behind you, through
your legs so it comes out front, step one foot
over the ball, to the other side, then with the
other foot, swing around and put it on the other
side, and so on. Note: your feet should not be
touching the ball! It should just be rolling
strait. after like, 2, 3 or 4 steps, hop ahead
of the ball, with your good foot, roll the ball
up the ankle of you weaker foot. Now quickly put
your "rolling" foot down, and kick the ball up
with your other foot, over your head and your
D's.
Lethal If you're backed into a
corner, face your back to the guy, bounce the
ball from your good hand to your weak one, and
put it through your legs to the other hand, now,
bounce it through the guy covering your legs,
now whip around him and grab it. If there is
another guy, grab the ball, and do a 360 around
him, sure, it’s basically like ducking around a
guy, and being able to think fast enough to get
around another guy, but if you can leave two
guys in the dust in a matter of 3 seconds, hey,
you're a superhero.
Twista First bounce the ball
through your left leg so it comes out to the
other side, grab the ball and continuously,
without having the ball to touch the ground
bounce it through your right leg and then using
the same method bounce the ball again through
your left leg. Do this step 4 or 5 times to
complete the 'Twista'.
Front-Back-Dance While standing,
bounce the ball through the middle of your legs
to the other side and quickly change your facing
position to where the ball is (your backside).
Do this step again and again a number of times
to complete the move. This really looks like a
dance!
Shirt
trick fake
While dribbling with your right hand lift up
the front of your shirt with your left hand and
bounce the ball into it with your right hand.
Hit the ball hard counter clockwise with your
right. As soon as you do this turn your upper
body to the right so the ball will hit your back
and come out on the left. If you skip the upper
body turn the ball will come out on the right.
