Best 1v1 Moves Ranked (Pros & Cons of Each Basketball Move) 

a tier list on finishing moves around the paint might be cool

1:45 love how he pushes his teammate and instantly regrets it

That smitty where plumlee shoves his own teammate out of the way was insane

You’ve outdone yourself coach F. Educating and entertaining at the same time 👏

I disagree with the lateral glide because it's very useful when you use it to take more time to read defenders movement, and there are bunch of moves you can use of a lateral glide depending on how the defender reacts to it. (e.g. crossover, hesi, cross jab, or just blow by)

S BTB Dribble 6:01 Rocket Step 9:51 A+ Hesitation 0:07 Crossover 2:06 Negative Step 8:30 Cross Jab 9:10 A Smitty 1:10 Delayed Tween 4:12 In & out 5:12 Head Fake 6:37 Push Cross 7:20 B Jab & Go 3:07 Lateral Glide 7:57

It’s easy to tell you love the game! The amount of passion put in this video is evident, especially given the sheer variety of the clips you included. Love that there’s no fluff or padding with unnecessary narration, just straight to the point with pure hoops. Excellent work and very informative!

Bro the editing and the research it took for all those clips. It is also so informative, definitely educational for those hoopers out there. High praise!!! 🙌🙌

Interesting. I guess it could be broken into two categories: 1. Off the catch 2. Off the dribble. The btb i wouldn't have as top. The wrap around is different than btb..i think the 1st example was btb the rest were wraps. I agree off the catch the rocker/body jab is crucial if defender is in range. Off the dribble there really isn't a superior move...if I had to pick it would be mastering the pocket dribble as most of the off the dribble moves come from the pocket unless they are straight crosses. You didn't have spin move in the ranking. I would add spin off the dribble and catch (in post up/back to basket) as an A move. Nice take though overall.

This is dope content bro, I like the way you breakdown every move and the different counter moves. That’s really helpful for a person like me developing my skills for hooping.

dude i can not say how much i thank you for all of these videos! legit the exact things i have been looking for!!

Amazing video, very simple but straightforward elsewell. Well done!

I just came here for moves to work on. Please make more like this! It was your critique of the moves that really taught me some things

Banger vid 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Best 1 on 1 moves video I ever seen! I knew picking out rigth move based on the situation is a key to get by defender but didn't know how until now (no other video gave me such info.) Greetings from Japan.

everyone missed how coach has his own clip at 9:35 for the cross jab. coach practices what he preaches! that’s how you know it works!

I learned alot Coach! 😁👌 Hopefully I could add this in my game soon...

Thank’s, I‘m definitely going to add these to my bag

The small touches at 4:19 and 7:36 have me dying lol great vid as always!

Thanks bro this vid rlly helped me

Thank you for hesitation introduction I need it that.

I just stumbled upon this channel by chance and I most say that you are one of the most underrated basketball channels in RU-vid, the way you break moves down to the simplest way for anyone to understand is just too good, am a 6'7 player trying to improve and your channel has explained so much to me and I can tell that am improving........I'll keep watching every video you post.....keep it up sir🙏 If I can give a recommendation is a video on stats.....that's something that still really confuses me and others, like box plus minus etc

Yes finally getting recognition I been here since 3k subs

This will definitely take my skill to a whole new level!

Do more if you this if you want because it is really nice to see an actual tier list of moves. Its a good idea.

I Love this keep doing this your helping out young hoopers

Do this for everything this video really helped me out as a basketball player honestly

coach frikki thanks for the cool tips i gave subscribed

Your YT channel is amazing. Thanks for all of the great content! Have you ever thought about making a video on confidence / the mental game? I drill a ton based on these vids but as soon as I step on the court it's in one ear and out the other.

Amazing video bro 👍🏾

Thank you for this list!!

This is really helpful I think my dribbling will greatly improve after this

Coach this was an awesome video. Please do more like these .

Thanks for the cross jab advice

simple captions dissecting move by move is so nice

The example clips for each move = great content

Hey bro thanks for the video. I’m an athlete but not a hoper but I still enjoy basketball and working on my game in my spare time. Thanks for breaking it down so nice

Thanks for help. I love your channel ❤️

Great video, Now I can expand my array of basketball moves

Coach frikki thanks for putting philippines basketball in this video♥️🥰

This channel is incredible

Best youtube channel I’m ever seen 👍

nice video, i'm a beginner with basketball so i'll try to learn these moves over time for different situations

Underrated aspect of this vid is all the nasty dunks I’ve never seen before

Im glad i found out about you a year ago coach and your videos thaught me a lot especially about moves and finishing againts contact... and im really confused how you are not getting more exposure, people are getting info on how to get better... it's crazy but keep doing your thing your next up 💯💯💯

The quickest subscribe I've had

Good work man, you are really good to show the how to make a move and when to make, for me the S class is simple move like Jan,Rocker step, negative step,fale shot because the modern game you nerd to use that moves in closeouts

Honestly I feel like thinking about dribble moves in this way is flawed cuz moves are built off of some primary threat, and then counters to those For example, an in n out dribble is only effective when the threat of the push cross is more apparent, so to have an effective in n out you need to have a nasty push cross that defenders fear. You can see the same with basically every triple threat move: strongside ripthrough > jab step > rocker step It might be better to think of dribble "moves" as sets of moves instead, for example, out of a hesitation you have the blow by (primary), cross (first counter), and then the hesi into a shot (counter to first two if defenders sag off) so they're all technically from the same move which is a hesitation Just look at kd, he got a nasty hesi because he can smoke you with every single level of that move That said, my picks for the best movesets would be the triple threat series and the hesitation (granted, these are mainly primary level moves and don't really work for changes in direction mid-drive, but if you can't get past your defender initially you can't do secondary moves anyway) Ripthrough, jab step, rocker step, just shooting out of it (which opens up the pump fake) - literally no "dribble package" needed since you're holding the ball, so it's both simpler and easier than any dribble moveset while giving you time to make your decisions - there's a reason most great scorers (jordan, kobe, kd, melo, Tatum etc) are said to have perfected the triple threat: simple is best I already explained the hesitation and all it's counters, and I like it because it gives you all the options just like a triple threat and you can flow into a hesitation from just about any dribble, or even mid-drive I enjoyed the video, it's nice to see these kinds of analysis videos on basketball to help people learn more about the game; keep up the good work.

ur such a good coach like i learned so much!

Very much enjoyed this video.

Nice Video full of basketball moves to use

Awesome vid deserve subs

Very very very nice video thanks!

its cool to see filipino basketball highlights be featured on a video, more power to you coach!

Yoooo where the step back 👌🏾🏆🐐 Great vid 👍🏾👍🏾

Very well made

This video is dope as hell

I 100% agree with rocker step being S, I love that move.

This is such a good video

I had never noticed that rocker step move before I feel enlighted

I feel so happy for you, your subscibers ar shooting up lately👍🏾🏀👌🏾

Thanks you very much Coach Frikki your videos are very detailed and informative it really help me improve my game. I'm hoping for your insights on ISOLATION PULL UP 3'S (LUCA HARDEN KD ) and DRIVE PULL UPS (CP3 BOOKER DEROZAN). You are very effective, very worth watching.

Awesome works tq🚀🚀🚀❤️

very well done video

I just came here to add some moves to my bag I appreciate the video

Love the channel and video I am in 8th grader aspiring to become an nba player and right now I am working on becoming an all around player ( I am a guard) and I’m working on increasing my bag and become more explosive and shifty. Just found this channel and I’m watching all your videos super helpful definitely gonna practice the slow BTL move looks really effective thx man!

I like how they analyse all the moves like attack move by pokemon

Great video!

The BTB Dribble is also great for dealing with contact on the perimeter, regardless of who initiated it.

awesome video man, really puts all these moves into perspective. I think if you use the right move in the right situation, any move can be lethal tho

your channel is far too superb for hooper who love all the details. wish you go 100k soon.

excellent video!

Dope video ty

This is possibly the greatest dribble move video I have ever seen.

Thank you coach

Such a good video.

Push cross needs to go up to A+. This initial analysis is great on most of these moves, but you need to also experiment with them yourself to know for sure how and when YOU can use them. For example the push cross opens up shots, not just for blowby drives. Push cross into a delayed stepback, or tying a stepback or delayed stepback or one with a delayed gather as is common can be a great counter to many of these scenarios in the video. It's about being able to react to the defense and that only comes from 1.) having the skill to pull out ANY move (coming from PERSONAL creative exploration), and 2.) Experience playing and using them, and YES getting the ball stripped many many times trying. But also don't give up on a move in a situation just cause it got stripped a few times, learn why: maybe perfect the move or the timing or the counter. Put in the work, enjoy the movement of it and explore. The best players explore and experiment on their own because they love the feeling of just being out there with the ball and have active imaginations. Also, learning to jumpstop LONG and deliberately THROUGH gap defense solves many of those scenarios. Not enough players can transition from ANY move into an aggressive jumpstop with a HIGH pickup through D and I've found a lot of success splitting doubles with it when the D is at the elbow or below. (pickup depends on the helpside D hand placement and height). Also, if you pick up the dribble with both feet in the air you can legally retain your Pivot foot creating easy counters in the paint with the pivot out then step through.

The most op move is the dream shake when you’ve mastered it to score out of all the 16 available pivots and second steps

goated vid

Great video shoot this can be a video to learn from

Really just highlights how important a quick first step is.

Talking from a dude with weak handles. The jab step and rocker steps are my best 2 options for getting by defenders. I'm very explosive/ athletic. Also the in and out is deadly. Remember my handles are weak. So crossovers and btb I tend to F up.

A jab and go, with a hesitation, pump fake, then a dream shake, and finish with a fadeaway is my go to set up

Thank You Very Much.

Cool video, I like the beat sampling a Thelonious Monk song

great video

Nice for including intl players
