How to break ankles and destroy defenders in basketball
by Mofe Owolabi | Oct 21, 2020
The defender is LOST… the crowd lets out a collective gasp… and it feels like time itself freezes for a split second. But, being able to break ankles is much more than a gimmick.
It grants you the ability to create shots for you AND your teammates.
That’s priceless.
Let’s get into three ways you can get to snapping ankles and shifting defenders.
Change of direction
When trying to create space from your defender, a change of direction is lethal, when done right.
I’m sure that those who play/watch a lot of basketball can agree that lots of ankle breakers come from a crossover, or some sort of stepback/dragback dribble.
This is no surprise.
These two dribbles are so effective because they involve a violent change in direction.
With the crossover, it’s from side-to-side, and with a stepback/dragback dribble, it’s from forwards to backwards.
The reason these changes of direction are so deadly, is because they convince your defender you’re going one way…
Then, BOOM.
You’ve gone in the opposite direction, with your defender in the lost and found.
Here are two keys to making sure your change of direction is effective:
- Make it quick – If it’s too slow, it’s easier for defenders to recover. Consistent dribbling workouts will help you speed up hour dribble
- Make the change of direction DRASTIC – Often, players will fail to shift their defenders because – even though they perform the dribble move – they barely change the direction they dribble in.
This leads on to the next point…
Use your eyes and body to deceive the defender
So, let’s assume you’ve been training your handles and can do all your moves well, with control of the ball.
But, maybe your dribbles still aren’t working on actual defenders.
This could be because your moves aren’t convincing enough.
When using moves that fake from one side to the other, your eyes are a weapon.
Stare in the direction you are faking towards, before exploding towards the opposite direction.
You can also use your body to trick defenders.
Face your chest and shoulders, again, in the direction you’re faking towards. Then, take the dribble quickly in the other direction.
Even on a stepback/dragback dribble, leaning forwards with your upper body at first can help to deceive your defender.
It will look as if you’re driving to the basket. Then, when you dribble backwards they are less likely to expect it.
Change of pace
As you probably know, dribbling slowly in front of your defender the whole time won’t be too effective.
However, dribbling fast the whole time can also actually make it harder for you to break ankles.
Although an ankle-breaker is definitely not impossible, dribbling fast will often alert your defender.
This can ruin the element of surprise, making it easier for them to react to your moves.
(Not only that, but it will probably tire you out too!)
Varying between slow and fast dribbles is MUCH more effective.
This is because the slow dribbles will often “lull your defender to sleep”.
Then, you can catch them on their heels with a quick dribble or fake.
This concept is what makes a hesitation dribble so effective. The ball hangs in the air and under/by the side of your hand as you dribble.
This gives you time to assess your defender, and make a decision.
Once they get too relaxed, often all it takes is one quick move to burn your defender.
As well as the hesitation, here are some more dribbling moves to help you blow by defenders and break ankles.
Basketball offense under the hoop
replica swiss watch
Now let's talk about the exercises we use at Oak Hill Academy to improve our offensive game under the basket.
Exercise 1
- Start the exercise on the left side of the ring facing the backboard.
- Step with the left foot and throw with the hook with the right hand.
- Pick up the ball without letting it fall on the floor.
- Take the same position on the right side of the hoop, stepping with the right foot, hooking with the left hand.
- Make twenty-five attempts in a row on each side (Fig. 1).
Drill 2
- Start by standing at the endline at the edge of the backboard, facing the opposite ring. The ring you are attacking is on your right.
- Take a step with your left foot and, with your back to the ring, throw from the bottom up (like a passing throw when the ball is in the palm of your hand, here the same thing only with your back to the ring).
- Pick up the ball and go to the other side of the hoop.
- Stepping with the right foot, throwing with the left. Make twenty-five attempts on each side (Fig. 2).
Exercise 3
- Start on the right side of the shield.
- Throw the ball with your right hand at the backboard.
- Pushing off your toes while jumping, hit the ball again at the backboard without letting it fall to the floor.
- Repeat 10 times, in the last jump, throw the ball into the basket.
- Repeat the same with the left hand, on the left side (Fig. 3).
Exercise 4
- Start under the hoop with the ball in your hands.
- Dribbling to the right, right hand, drive to the 3-point line at a position under 45º, turn to the ring, continue to dribble with the right hand, go to the ring, but after each shot, make a sharp shift to the center. At the end of the pass, throw from below with your right hand.
- Pick up the ball, and repeat the same, only on the left side, with your left hand (Fig. 4).
- After you've done this exercise a few times without resistance, add a defender to get in the way of the player from the 3-point line.
- Perform the exercise in a good rhythm, it should last 35 seconds or until you have done 10 passes (fig. 4).
Exercise 5
- Take a position with your back to the endline, on the first mustache of the free kick from the endline.
- A team-mate must be opposite on the three-point line and has the ball.
- Player to be handed over.
- Pivot around the nearest leg to the ring, you should be facing the ring, throw with one hand from below the shield (fig. 5).
- After you have mastered this variation, move into the field and after the pivot use a dribble to the cross-leg ring. The final stage does not change.
- Make 10 throws, both dribbling and not, then repeat on the left side.
Note: in all chair exercises we will need two helpers who will be involved all the time. One is needed for rebounds, and the other is needed in order to change balls on the chairs.
Chairs under the ring (Exercise 6-8)
- Place the chairs on the lower whiskers of the three second zone.
- Place a ball in each chair.
- The player starts the exercise from the middle of the three-second zone (Fig. 6).
Exercise 6
- Dash towards the chair to the right of the ring.
- Take the ball from a chair, squatting down (do not bend your back, it should remain straight).
- Then step with your left foot towards the ring and throw from the shield around the ring from below with your right hand.
- Immediately, without stopping, make a jerk to another chair, do the same, only remembering to change your leg and arm (Fig.
7).
Exercise 7
- Dash towards the right chair from the ring.
- Take the ball from a chair, squatting down (do not bend your back, it should remain straight).
- Then step your right foot inside the three second zone and throw the hook with your left hand.
- Immediately, without stopping, make a jerk to another chair, do the same, changing your leg and arm (Fig. 8).
Exercise 8
- Dash towards the right chair from the ring.
- Take the ball from a chair, squatting down (do not bend your back, it should remain straight).
- After the player has taken the ball, he must pivot around the right foot and upon completion of the pivot, must face the ring, then there are several attack options: a) Jump shot, b) Two-foot shot after one hit of the ball.
- After the throw, immediately without stopping, make a jerk to another chair, then everything is the same, changing the leg and arm (Fig.
9).
Chairs under the ring (Exercise 9-10)
After you have completed exercises 6-8, move the chairs to the level of the foul line. In all exercises, after you take the ball, it is necessary to make a dash with dribbling to the ring.
Take the ball from a chair, squatting down (do not bend your back, it should remain straight). The ball carrier then makes a dash with a dribble to the ring, while he can use the transfers between the legs. Under the hoop, make a jump stop and throw with your right hand, with a hook from the shield. Make a jerk to another chair and repeat the same thing, but with the other hand (Fig. 11).
Exercise 10
- Dash towards the right chair from the ring.
- Take the ball from a chair, squatting down (do not bend your back, it should remain straight).
- The ball carrier then makes a dash with a dribble to the center of the three-second zone, in which case he can use the transfers between the legs.
- Under the hoop, make a jump stop and throw with the left hand hook.
- Make a dash to another chair and repeat the same thing, but with the other hand (fig. 12).

5 most common injuries in basketball and how to prevent them
We'll take a look at the types of injuries most commonly seen in basketball players, according to the National Athletic Coaches Association report, to see what the numbers can tell us. As with most sports, sprains, deformities, and common injuries are all the nasty things that can happen, but this information doesn't tell you the interesting details. Let's take a closer look at what injuries basketball players usually get and what to do to avoid them.
1. Foot/ankle injuries
As stated in the report, lower extremity injuries were the most common, with foot or ankle injuries considered to be the most serious problems. This could have happened after an ankle slip or an awkward jump after a ball.
Also, the player can accidentally stumble. Naturally, basketball makes athletes more prone to this kind of injury.
Prevention: Ankle must be supported to prevent injury. Before entering the playground, make sure your shoes are suitable for this activity. Closed basketball shoes help prevent slipping on smooth playground surfaces. In general, a good pair of basketball shoes will create a higher profile and better ankle support. It will not be superfluous to tape the leg with a special tape to provide additional preventive measures. This method is recommended for people prone to ankle injuries.
2. Hip and calf injuries
Spinning, running, jumping and rebounding put extra strain on the legs and hips, making players vulnerable to various kinds of injuries. Hip sprains and bruises can occur from contact with the ground or from overstretching of the ligaments and muscles.
How to Prevent: Some contact injuries cannot be prevented, but there is no doubt that stretching has always been a good start to any workout or game.
The more elastic your muscles and tendons are, the less likely you are to overstretch them and injure yourself while playing. Stretching your thighs is the key to warming up before a workout or game.
3. Knee Injuries
Severe injuries such as ACL tears are not common in basketball. But knee injuries, which are mostly minor sprains and deformities, still rank third on the list of the most common injuries in basketball.
Prevention: Strengthening the leg muscles will help create good support for the knees, so this is where going to the gym can really help. And, as mentioned above, never forget to stretch well before training and playing. If you know that you have problems with your knees, that you are prone to frequent injuries, it would be a good idea to put on a knee brace or fix a brace around your knee.
4. Wrist/Hand Injuries
In fact, it is surprising that these parts of the body are not the most vulnerable to injury, given that the game is played mainly with the hands.
But according to the study, only about 11% of basketball injuries occur in the wrist, hand, or forearm.
Prevention: keeping hands and wrists healthy and in good physical condition. Be sure to make sure that the ball goes straight into your hands when someone makes a strong pass to you. If you lose visual contact with the ball just before catching it, you can easily injure your fingers. Also, always be careful on the court and avoid clashes of the hands with other players. The less you deal with them, the better. Although, of course, in the context of basketball, this advice seems ridiculous.
5. Head/Face Injuries
When players hit their heads or an unintentional elbow to the face occurs, it's not funny at all. Hitting the ball in the face, of course, is less traumatic, but still unpleasant and also creates an awkward situation.
How to prevent: The most important task is to be able to recognize the symptoms of a concussion.
