Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Donaill Dixon and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to be talking about beginning basketball. The next two shots I'm going to be talking about is going to be the head fake shot and also the floater shot. Now we're going to be talking about the head fake shot. The head fake shot is a shot where you try to fake your defender off playing like you're going to shoot the first time but your really don't shoot, so you get kind of get him off hand. The head fake shot it kind of draws a lot of fouls but for you go to the line a lot and it also keeps your defender off balance a whole lot because he really don't know what you're going to do. The next shot I'm going to be talking about is the floater shot. A floater shot is a shot pretty much used by the shorter person on the floor because he's not as tall as the other people on the floor. Also can be used by a big person which is the power for the center who is being guarded by a bigger opposition. The floater shot is basically a shot where you kind of throw the shot up kind of a little bit more in the air than the other shots."
