"Hello my name is Donaill Dixon and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to be talking about beginning basketball. The next thing I'm going to be talking about is stealing and foul. Now, stealing is a process when you anticipate the person dribbling the basketball going one way and you beat them to their spot where he's going right or you're going left. Also stealing the basketball can be jumping out in front and intercepting the basketball while he's trying to throw it to another offensive player. The reason why stealing is good is because it create a lot of easy buckets as far as layups on the other side of the court because it gives you a head start if you steal a basketball court. If you steal a basketball everybody is going to be on offensive side, so when you steal a basketball you're already going the other way as far as trying to get a score. So it's going to create a lot of easy baskets for you."
