The FADEAWAY

Here we have our first move!The FADEAWAY JUMPER!Shown by the G.O.A.T Michael "Air" Jordan




POSITIVES* The "Fadeaway" for me that's the most unstoppable move Jordan created. He was the pioneer of doing this move to the extent of backing down your opponent, while allowing you to check your options and delivering for the kill. The move is performed by catching the ball in the post then setting your feet, back down your defender and you can choose to dribble or shoot the sweet fade-away instantly.
Now why is it unstoppable?

First of all, you cant block it without GREAT timing, even if your a tall guy the short guy has an advantage because he will keep you guessing what will he do next. Also the fade away was designed to draw fouls at the catch then avoid the long arms of the defender or height by "FADING" your shot. The longer your "hang time" is the better, Practice this move and you'll be scoring in no time.


NEGATIVES* All moves has a weakness and the fade way is no exception. In order for you to capitalize in doing this move you have to master the fundamentals. Why? Well because in order to set your feet,balance and body form you have to go over the basics to fully do this move.

Some people might argue that i'ts easy to do but give me other superstars aside from MJ,KOBE AND DIRK who does this move so perfectly. Another one is the offensive player must know how to establish his position in order to catch the ball and prevent the defensive player in stealing the ball.

And oh yeah the "hang time" you don't need to jump higher, you just need to jump at the right time in order to execute this move, For EX. Don't wait for the defensive player to react on your fakes when you have sight on the basket shoot it. Its better to be one step ahead of your opponent every time and also the fade away move was not design for holding the ball for too long because if you to do you allow your opponent to establish his stance and that may cost you.
