Iverson Shooting

Directions:

1. Players are divided in two lines - one on the baseline and the other at the top of the key

2. The baseline line is the shooting line and the top of the key line is the passing line (if you don't have enough players, a coach can serve as the permanent passer)

3. The baseline line passes the ball to the top of the key line

4. After the pass, the baseline player cuts around both cones, simulating Iverson action

5. Depending on what we're working on, the player who is cutting can either make an Iverson cut or a tight cut backdoor

6. The passer should deliver the ball to the cutter

7. After the cutter receives the pass, they should work on a designated finish

8. Types of finishes include:

• Catch and shoot, one dribble pull-up, floater, step back, step back counter, regular lay-up, power lay-up, shot fake finish, inside hand finish, awkward finish, reverse lay-up, pull-back attack, up and under, etc.

Other Teaching Points:

• Players must make game speed cuts to get game-like shots

• Cutters should touch the "screens" before using them

• Communication is key - all actions need to be verbalized
