Is this drill for you?
For intermediate finishers (Level 3) learning to use contact - the bump-off into a shot, plus pump-fake, spin, and double-fake counters.
The ladder: Straight bump-off first, then the pump-fake step-through, spin counter, and double-pump fade.
Variations: Drive both directions.
In a game: Creating space with a legal bump is how smaller guards finish through bigs at the rim.
A partner or pad makes the contact real; solo still trains the footwork.
