Is this drill for you?
For intermediate ballhandlers (Level 3) who want nine flavors of the Iverson crossover - from the push cross to the killer cross - without needing a hoop.
The ladder: Start with the A.I. cross and push cross, then jab, running, and scissor crosses, then sham, delayed, killer, and cross drag.
Variations: Run every variation right-to-left and left-to-right.
In a game: One crossover read is never enough - this gives you a counter for however the defender plays the first fake.
45 minutes of high-rep crossover work.
