Is this drill for you?

For intermediate ballhandlers (Level 3) chaining quick crossover variations with an over-back wrap for Kyrie-style shiftiness.

Trains: ball-handling · change of direction · rhythm

The ladder: Single crossover variations first, then the over-back wrap combos.

Variations: Alternate attacking left and right.

In a game: The over-back wrap changes the ball's path mid-combo - defenders who read the crossover still lose the wrap.

Open-floor dribble work.
