The Sneaky Finishing Technique That You RARELY See 

Great stuff. This is pretty much the only overhand layup that should be taught/used in my opinion. Decel, jump vertically, hang in the air and shoot on the way down. If you're not finishing with a finger roll, use this "quicksand". Hate seeing young players (and their coaches) drilling endless overhand layups without any deceleration and they land close to the baseline. While they could have gotten thousands of reps improving their brakes, which are huge for speed changes, defense, injury prevention and even BBIQ.

“Small? Unathletic? That’s me!” 😂 Great video. It blows my mind that Doncic and Jokic are so slow and so effective. This helps me understand that a bit more!

I love to use this 😅 The only drawback is, people will call travel in pickup games (sometimes, even refs) 😭 taking two slow steps looks like you took 3 a lot of times.

Love slowing down for 1 or 2 legged finishes. Saves energy and can get you free throws.

Thanks for more consistent videos, weather or not i’m ready to use some of the skills, your videos are always very helpful, well put together, and just entertaining from the perspective of a basketball player.

Wow, never knew about this no matter how many times I've seen it before. Definitely going to use this since I'm old and slow.

Very helpful, thanks a lot!!:) I was wondering about this "new" go to move that every nba point guard uses so often since the last year. They do this kind of slow extremely wide in air-hanging two step and then accelerate. I just remember Irving, Garland or morant using this. do you know something about it and how to train it?

Basically just a hesi, changing up pace, reminds me of SGA’s herky jerky place style with his mid range fade aways and insane layup package

Great video!

As someone who is not that athletic but have a quick step, this is my go to move and very effective.

Scoring is all about creating separation. This is a very effective way of doing that.

0:19 @STORROR 🔥😅

This is every De’Aaron Fox move. He makes a living off of this.

It’s kind of the basketball equivalent to throwing a change up. People get used to playing at a certain speed so an occasional slow mo move can be devastating.

Using this for floaters is DEADLY. Love the video bro

love this technique

These new fangled moves! I bet traditional fundamental based coaches would have a stroke but if pros are killing it with this why not coach it up

Added to the bag 🎒

Been doing this type of move for the last 25 years, quicksand finish is what I'll have to call it now.

This is my MOVE! Never knew it had a name

Yo! My 8yo has done this move and I was wondering where he got it from. I'll incorporate this into my bag as well!

Instant sub

Sumn I always did naturally just from playing lazy and realized how effective it use and added it to my bag

Coleman magic~

Shout out hezi god. I learned this from him

Sir i need to develop soft touch like Kyrie please post a video on that topic pls . Love from India

🧐quicksand huh, I like it😁

Its a good move for smaller but stronger guys

Can you do,pls a short where can you explain how to improve shooting form if someone has small hands and can't manage so well the ball to shot

I always thought it was called the change up.

The move is so fire

I mean, you see this all the time in the NBA. It’s a necessary part of every good pro’s bag.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say this is a “rare” finish. Maybe only a select group of guys do it consistently in the league but this is something I know plenty of people grew up doing. Also a lot of people do this unintentionally when trying to power dribble into a euro or to bring the ball over their heads. The contact causes you to just slow down and slightly fade on the layup.

One question-how does this work when there is help defence? Doesn't it give the help defender time to block your shot?

Long story short - just act clumsy while going for the bucket... and don't forget to draw that easy foul on the way.

Lauri would always do this on the Bulls. Man did we let him down

DO NOT try this I repeat DO NOT try this on a slippery court

I saw manu use that a lot back in the day

🔥🔥🔥

upper body strength is the key here.

wiggins has one similar i believe. esp after watching last night highlights

every short hooper thats really a hooper been doing this😂

That’s my move lol and I’m doing it unconsciously ahaha

Smart

Don't forget to put a little shoulder into the defender, it's okay in a pickup game, but it'll probably be a foul in an actual game.

That's the veer step

Quicksand Finish 👀 🔥

Rare? Hardly

all small guards like luka and ben simmons use it. you should too if you are small like them.

NBA=wwe

Do you mean Luka is rare? He does this move usually

first

Slowing down the vital parts of the replays and your demonstrations is not helpful in seeing the move in real time.

NBA is rigged and scripted, stop trying to copy their nonsense. The defenders letting him score on purpose, Luka knows they won't block his shot.
