this Jamal Crawford hanging hesitation inspired a couple thoughts in my head about handling. Being comfortably loose with the ball is so advantageous because of the body positions it unlocks, and it’s own form of expression of ball control distinct from tight ballhandling
is it’s own *
like, that created advantage from Jamal is made b/c of that hesi, and by drifting forward so intently & heavily, avenues for beating his man off the dribble are created that wouldn’t have been available without the specific use of that move there. and using a hang hesi in that
specific way is only available to guys super comfortable with the ball in their hand away from their body & higher than usual when attacking
what do u think @abovethebreak3
