 a drive step, keeping your weight on your pivot foot. After the drive step, you may read your defender's position as having the lead foot forward and hand up on the side away from your drive step. Make a crossover step past the defender's lead foot. Keeping your weight on your pivot foot, create space away from your defender by pushing your dribble out with your outside hand (the hand away from the defender).  The step-back jump shot is used when you are closely guarded as you drive.
