It looks like your arms are bent at the elbow... maybe you could improve onto that and keep them straight up until the time is right to really explode into the rep.

Damn, you tried to see if I was right about you being a "natural" RL planter? That takes quite some time

10X90 high bar is pretty good... I don't know if I'd be able to do that right now.

I disagree. I found that the people considered the "best" defenders always overreact at "streetball" moves. So they're the easiest to trick.
They might get steals etc, but we choose to ignore those and get the moments when they get tricked.
Same with people that block a ton of shots but also get a lot of facials. We choose to ignore when they block people, and then we focus on these rare moments when they get a facial thrown on them. Think Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, Shawn Bradley etc.
They put themselves in the position to get in a poster, but putting themselves in that position allows them to block a ton of shots and help their team.
So my point is - these "good defenders" are the easiest to get "very tricked" just because they go all out and when they fail, they look really bad. When they don't fail, they get the ball. So when they fail they look like idiots (this case), and when they don't they give their teams at least the possession, if not 2 points on the fast break.

Yeah a good question... you can kinda see him with your mind's eyes doing a series of ankle jumps as a warm-up before the race.

I don't understand you people... it really wasn't anything fast or whatever. It was just the defender overreacting to it.
So if I do a slow crossover and the defender is an idiot and fells down because he's "crazy defensively" (you know, people that go all out defensively even when they don't have to) - suddenly I pulled out a great move? No, I didn't, it just happened that the defender was an idiot and in this case - that he slipped.
Want to talk about great crossovers? Tim Hardaway, Jason Williams on Gary Payton etc... these are great. Where the move actually is fast and very well performed. I'm not impressed about the Iverson on Jordan move either. Jordan just sucked on that defensive possession, it wasn't the move that was great.

Nothing impressive about the move. Just the defender being an idiot/slipping. That's all.
