Before my acl injury, i used to rely on athleticism. I was way faster than guys bigger than me and i could jump way higher than guys smaller than me. It led to high risk, dangerous moves where i would beat my guy off the dribble, jump, hang in the air, come down hard. You cant see behind you, and that was how i tore my acl, by a guy i beat, coming at me from behind. the first time. then the last time with a high acceleration/deceleration move that wrecked my acl completely and turned it into used chewing gum.
this new move is unstoppable and yet no risk. Because i don't need to beat my man to use it. i can do it right in his face. it can't be used at full speed either, which makes it very measured and controlled = safe. i call it the baby bank hook. driving to the right, i take my 2 steps or even 1 step depending on my position, release it gently from my finger tips against the board in a hook motion, but in the direction of the board. i have it completely down now. and with my height, and my off hand shielding the ball, its completely unblockable. its not exactly a sky hook (more like a baby sky hook) but its the perfect move for my specs.
