@ilbtiktok: The Stepback Flaw Every Guard Has ❌ FIX THIS! Most players think a good stepback means keeping the ball out in front… That’s exactly why their stepback gets stolen, rushed, or feels weak. What you want instead is this: As you separate, pull the ball slightly BEHIND your body and wrap it into your frame. Not behind your back — behind your hip line. That’s how you protect it and load it at the same time. So the order is: 1️⃣ Attack 2️⃣ Pull ball back into protection 3️⃣ Step-back to space 4️⃣ Rise up When the ball is protected behind you, the defender has to go through your body to reach it… and that’s why pros get clean looks off this. 📥 SAVE this so you can try it next time you're training!
