Basketball Turnaround Fade Away

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Travis Corpening, and here we are at Carolina Beach Recreation Center, and I'm going to try to teach you how to do a turn around fade-away jump shot. Now, first of all what you want to do is, one of the most effective ways you can use this shot is, by being along the plane, the back plane of the backboard, so you're down low. Now, what you want to do is, you want to turn your back to the basket until you're defensive now. As you do that, you want to pivot, pivot to either your right, or pivot to your left, either way, once you pivot, you want to use your body and take off, so that you're fading away from the defensive man, so they cannot block your shot. As you do this, you spot the basket, and you release, just like a regular shot. But you want to try your best not to- it's a fade-away, so you're going to be leaning away from the basket a little bit, but you want to try and straighten your body as much as possible, and get more of a lift, rather than a lean. And there you have it, completing a turn around fade-away jump shot."
