Leg Circle Utep 2 Step and Killer Crossover Move Mastery

This blog post is about a move I came up with when I was training this summer. This move I came up with is called Leg circle set up, and the UTEP 2 step and its counter Leg circle Killer crossover.

The reason I came up with this move is because of the original master of the UTEP 2 step which is "Tim Hardaway". I really like how Tim Hardaway used these moves in transition and sometimes in the half court to make his defender look silly.

This move to me is really not game realistic but can be used in a game in some game situations if you practice it daily until the mastery comes.

If you never used this move,it still will improve your dribbling ability. This move I came up with have the same concepts of Tim Hardaway signature go to moves and his counters if you want to see me breaking down his signature moves Go Here.

Basketball Crossover Dribble Tutorial


Whats up basketball players? I have an interesting post on how you can develop a killer crossover today. I'm going to show you some crossover variations that you can add to your game.

The main reason for me writing this post and showing you a video demonstration later is to show you how to master this devastating move.

The key to this move is have explosive change of directions and top notch ball control and deception with this move. This move is all about selling and deceiving your opponent thinking that your going one way but in all reality your going the opposite way.

Mastering the basic Crossover 1st variation to the crossover dribble.


The key to mastering the basic crossover is to plant hard with your outside foot and make a low crossover dribble below your knee caps in a quick explosive manner.

This move is great when your attacking a defender in the open court and splitting the defense in a pick and roll scenario. The key to mastered this move is to work in a progressive manner.

I usually do stationary dribble drills pound crossover sequence to make crossover stronger and quick. The way to do these drills is to pick a number of pound dribbles before making a basic crossover.

The sequence I usually pick is 3,2,1 pound sequence. For example a workout for me to master this move in stationary drills will be. I make 3 explosive pound dribbles then crossover below my knees for a total of 10 reps.

Then I will advance to 2 pounds then 1 then none. The thing to remember to develop this crossover dribble is to have strict stationary dribble fundamentals and try to be explosive as you can with each pound dribble and crossover dribble.

Word of caution when you do the pound sequence drills your fore arms and shoulders are going to burn and hurt. When you train this move this is OK because your fore arms and shoulders are not conditioned to dribble the ball in an explosive manner yet.

I want you to stay optimistic with yourself with time the pain and conditioning will improve if you "Only if stick with it."

Welcome to My Basketball blog



What up hoopers? I appreciate you coming to my blog. First and foremost my name is Walter Brady. I have been playing basketball for over the last 6 years competitively. A little back story about me my first love was football but that slowly changed when I tore my ACL in 2005. I had a revelation from an unlikely source which was my physical therapist. While she was rehabbing me daily, she keep instilling in me to try out for my junior college basketball team. I can remember the one quote she told and it has stuck with me till this day while we were talking  about the process to try out for my Junior College team "She told me Walter you have more passion for Basketball than Football." As I look back now I want to thank Liz for helping me follow my true passion.To be real with ya'll man I love the basketball unconditional for the high and lows I went through to get where I'm at now.
