Is this drill for you?

For elite finishers (Level 5) who want the full Kyrie-style scoop and reverse package - up-and-unders, 180s, backward-jump reverses, and 360 scoops - hoop required.

Trains: finishing · touch · body control · balance

The ladder: One-hand up-and-unders first, then 180 scoops, backward-jump reverses, inside-hand scoops, and 360 scoops to finish.

Variations: Both hands and both spin directions.

In a game: Scoops and reverses are how you finish around length without ever giving the shot-blocker a clean look at the ball.

Elite air-body control required - not a first finishing workout.
