How to Dribble a Basketball Behind the Back

Video Transcript

"I'm Ritchie Greer with Expert Village. As an offensive player, the most important thing is to get by your defender. There's many ways of doing this. I just showed you one way, by dribbling between the legs. There's another way: dribbling behind the back. Wes, go ahead and start guarding me. Now, what you're going to do, is you want to get your momentum going one direction, and you want to take the ball from one side to the other. Now, there's ways of doing it. Like I said, you can go between the legs or you can go behind the back. This one I'm going to do behind the back. Wes, you ready? So, I'll go here -- just like that. That takes me straight to the basket, where we score. Once again, you want to change your momentum, you want to take the ball behind your legs or between your legs, or behind your back. All very good ways of getting your defender going one direction, you're going the other, and leading you a clean lane to the basket."
