The hesi move in basketball is one of the most simple but unstoppable moves in the game. The idea is to be unpredictable by using a change of pace – a pause – in order to freeze your defender, giving you time to make your next read.
Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? But if you’ve ever tried to pick up a pet bunny you know just how tricky a change of speed can be. Bunnies hop incredibly fast and in unpredictable patterns. Then they come to a full stop, and start again when you get close, just escaping your grasp. That’s what you’re doing with a hesi as a hooper!
By the way, if you need a ball, check out our partner Wilson’s cool basketballs, including our favorite the Evolution.
What is the hesi move?
The hesi move in basketball is a change of speed, and is short for hesitation. Basically it’s when a player is going more quickly, and then pauses for a beat, before resuming again. The pause is intended to trick the defender into thinking the player is slowing down, lulling the defense to sleep getting them to temporarily rise up out of their defensive stance, or bringing their momentum back to the player and away from the basket. This gives the offense an extra second to dribble past their defender or to get off a shot. It provides an edge.
How to do the hesitation move
Do the hesi when you’re on offense and dribbling the ball. You can’t hesi if you’ve just caught the ball because you’re already still. Here’s how to do it:
Hold a speed with your dribble
Slow your speed down very quickly to hit a pause
Float the ball
Make the read
Drop your hips and shoulder faking a drive – then take a shot
Or for the shot hesi look up at the rim and bring your off ball hand to the ball (without touching it) to mimic a shooting motion – then blow by, often players will use the cross over coming out of this to pick up speed in the other direction
Types of hesi
Here are a few different types of hesi moves you can add to your bag.
Hesi – This is a change of speed – a simple pause – taking your defender off their guard.
Shot hesi – This is a change of speed where you slow down and also fake a shooting motion, before driving.
Pull-up hesi – For this move you slow down and fake re-starting a speedy drive, before taking a shot.
Situations to use the hesi in
You can use the hesi anytime you feel like you need some space from your defender. It’s surprising how well it works. It’s probably because of Newton’s first law of motion: an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. As defenders we make the assumption that the offense is going to stay in motion at the same speed. So when they don’t, we’re surprised.
Here are a few key game moments during which to pull out the hesi:
Transition or fast break when a player is approaching in front of you
From the wing or the top of the key in isolation situations
Use the hesi pull-up when your defender expects you to drive to the basket (for example if you drove last time, or you get most of your buckets in the paint)
Use the shot hesi when your defender expects you to shoot (for example if you shot last time, or you’re known as a shooter based on your stats)
Hesi move examples from the WNBA and NBA
Let’s check out a few examples of the hesi being used in the WNBA and NBA to create space and get off good looks.
Courtney Vandersloot hesi
One type of hesi is the simple pause which WNBA Champion and Chicago Sky point guard Courtney Vandersloot shows here. With this move you’re making the defender think you’re letting up and no longer a scoring threat, or that you’re going to pass. Once their momentum shifts in your direction you can make the read on how to best blow by. This simple pause gives Courtney the advantage she needs to take a quick first step and get by.
Crystal Dangerfield shot hesi
Minnesota Lynx point guard Crystal Dangerfield is on the attack here, and sees her defender is going to cut off her line to the basket. So she hits a cross over, but the defender keeps up and is about to meet her. In order to get her defender off balance, Crystal pauses and fakes a shot, causing the defense to shift their momentum forward as if to block the shot. Then Crystal is able to blow by.
Kevin Durant hesi pull-up
This is one of Kevin Durant’s go-to moves, and it works incredibly well because it gives players a chance to get into rhythm before taking a shot. Kevin likes to start off with a between the legs setup dribble to float the ball and hesi, before pulling up into a quick shot. If you’re a right handed shooter, going between the legs to the left, pausing and then lifting will give you good chance at making it. For left-handed shooters, the reverse works well (between the legs to the right).
Free hesi move drills
Here are a couple ways to get more comfortable with the hesi.
1. Change of pace practice
Dribble the ball up and down the court, changing speed 3-4 times as you go across the court. Try to hit a full speed, 1/2 speed, 3/4 speed, and 1/4 speed. Now do the same thing but hesi 3-4 times, holding your speed into and out of the hesi the same. Now do the same thing, but bring a different speed into and out of the hesi each time.
2. Solo speed start
Put the ball on the ground at half court. Start leaned over and low to the ground like a runner on a track, with your hands on the ball. Bring it off the ground and forward as quickly toward the basket as you can. You must hit one hesi before scoring. Get 3 makes in a row.
3. Partner speed start
Stand with a partner next to you at half court. Put the ball on the ground. As the offensive player you begin with your hands on the ball, low to the ground, bringing it off the ground and forward as quickly toward the basket as you can. You must hit one hesi, before trying to score. The defense can start playing as soon as they see you picking up the ball. Switch offense and defense as you make or miss. Play up to 3 total points by 1s.
4. Partner pace
Stand with a partner at the top of the 3, with your partner next to your waist. Your partner is on defense but must stay on your side. Your goal is to use only changes of speed (including hesis) to get a layup at the basket – no other moves. Switch offense and defense as you make or miss. Play up to 3 total points by 1s.
5. Hesi move workout
Here’s a fun workout from True Point Guard.
First drill: Freestyle. Hit a shifty move at the first cone. Then hit any stop move and attack the basket. Change up the finish every time.
Second drill: Have a coach or teammate give your audio cues to work on reaction. 1 = Drive. 2 = Midrange jumper. 3 = Shoot the three.
Third drill: Simulate a live look with guided defense. Work on reading the defense and making the right decision.
Fourth drill: Put it all together and play 1v1. You have to hit a stop move before you can score.

How to Easily Get Past Your Defender with the Hesitation Move (Step by Step)
If you clicked on this article, I assume you want to learn the hesitation move – a basketball move that leaves defenders in the dust!
The goal of the hesitation move is to get defenders to temporarily rise up out of their defensive stance, giving you an extra second to dribble past your defender on your way to the basket.
And when the defenders get off their feet, the crowd will get off their feet as well!
Your hesi will not only earn you a trip to the basket but it might also earn you a viral clip on social media!
But how do you execute the hesitation move?
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to instantly add the hesitation move to your dribbling arsenal…
Step 1 – See The Open Lane
First and foremost, be in a triple-threat position while making the hesitation move. Being in a triple-threat position means you are in a position to either pass the ball to an open shooter, attack the basket, or shoot the ball off the dribble.
Obviously, the hesitation move is most effective when the dribbler has all three of these options available. The more of a threat you are to make a jump shot off the dribble, the more effective the hesi will become.
Do you want to know who uses the hesitation move to great effect?
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, one of the greatest shooters in NBA history. Curry has one of the best hesitation moves in the NBA today because defenders have to respect his jump shot.
Curry always positions himself where he can create an open lane to the basket with his hesitation move. He normally starts by dribbling on the left side and then goes towards the middle with his strong hand.
That way, Curry always has a straight path to a right-handed layup when his hesitation move freezes the defender at the top of the key.
Step 2 – Get The Ball Into The Dribble Pocket
Now you have the lane to the basket in sight, it is time to change the defender’s eye level.
How do you do this?
You pretend like you are about to shoot the ball! You just raise your dribble higher than normal.
The key is to establish eye contact with the defender. If your eyes go up as you get into your dribble pocket, your defender will naturally rise up to match your eye level.
This gives you a split-second advantage to get by your defender!
Something to be careful about: keep your dribble below your waist and place the ball between your dribbling hand and the floor. Otherwise, the referee will most likely call a carrying violation on you.
Step 3 – Align Your Feet To The Basket
By getting the ball into your dribble pocket, you have successfully convinced the defender that you are going up for a shot. You are now a step ahead of the defender.
You MUST align your feet the right way if you are to take advantage of this extra step.
There are two ways you can align your feet out of the hesitation move.
Stationary – feet are aligned towards defender (use this to set up the crossover)
On the Move – lead foot is pointed towards basket (use this to set up the in-n-out dribble)
My advice would be to experiment with aligning your feet both ways, then stick to what works best for you. Your footwork will eventually develop over countless repetitions to where it will be second nature to you.
Step 4 – Fan The Ball With Your Off Hand
Fanning the ball is defined as raising your off hand as you get into your dribbling pocket. It will look as if you are mimicking your shot motion just as you are making the hesitation move.
The goal of fanning the ball is twofold: 1) to keep the ball away from the defender’s hands; 2) to convince the defender that you are going up for a shot.
The key is to move your off-hand directly in the defender’s line of sight.
Good defenders will look at the torso region. If you can alter the defender’s line of sight, then will change the defender’s eye level.
To do this, place your off hand parallel to the ball just as you rise up for the hesitation move. It will look like your off-hand is a guide hand for when you shoot the ball.
Step 5 – Set Your Eyes On The Rim
Surely, you have heard this before from your coach.
“Look up while dribbling! Don’t look on the floor!”
Let me take it a step further from your coach: always look at the basket while dribbling.
Again, to sell the hesitation move, you have to convince the defender that you are going to shoot the ball. Having your eyes on the rim means you are a threat to shoot the ball.
Step 6 – Make An Explosive Direct Step
You just made a nice hesi! You are now one step ahead on the defender!
Now it’s time to make an explosive direct step to get to the basket!
Take one hard dribble to the free-throw line area. You will then be in an ideal triple-threat position: you can either attack the basket, take the short jump shot, or pass to an open teammate.
All three of these options are great!
But what if the defender catches up to you?
Step 7 – Get Low With Shoulder (To Defender’s Hip)
Once past the defender, you should get as low as possible in order to setup the final move.
A rule of thumb is to dip your off arm lower than the defender’s lead hip, which automatically puts you a step ahead of the defender.
Think of it as a race to the free-throw line between your off shoulder and the defender’s hip.
When you win that race, you are in control of what happens next. Dipping your shoulder also helps you make the next move.
If you pull up for a jumper, you’ll need to start from a lower stance to generate power for the jump shot.
If you attack the basket, getting low will give you the power to finish strong.
If you pass the ball to an open teammate, staying low gives you more power if the ball is going all the way to a shooter at the three-point line.
Most of the time, a straight line hesi is going to work. But what happens when it does not work?
Here is why a crossover is the perfect countermove to the hesitation move.
How to Do a Crossover Hesi
The logical countermove to a straight-line hesitation move is a crossover. When the defender is thinking you will go straight, crossing over will give you an extra step past the defender.
But how do you execute the crossover of a hesitation move?
Check out this video below!
Here are three scenarios in which a crossover off a hesitation dribble would be most effective.
Scenario #1 – Hesi in Transition
When pushing the ball in transition, you will have your defender backpedaling to stop the ball. Your defender will sprint back to cut off your straight line to the basket.
A hesitation move followed up by a crossover is the immediate answer to the defender stopping the ball.
You take the exact same steps as you would a normal hesitation move.
The defender will not be able to change directions fast enough to stay in front of you!
You would just crossover instead of going in a straight line.
Scenario #2 – Retreat (Or Step-Back) Hesi
Using a retreat dribble is most effective whenever you are being pressured with the ball, but it can also setup your hesitation move.
When using this to setup the hesi, it will get you past any defender who is too close to you – since you can go forward faster than most defenders can go backwards.
As you make the retreat dribble, stop on a dime and take one step back. Drop your hips and shoulders to protect the ball, then power off your back leg to move past the defender.
Once you gain experience with this move, you will know how to time the move so you can get past the defender each time.
Scenario #3 – Lateral (Or Sidestep) Hesi
The lateral dribble is a sidestep hesitation move intended to set up a baseline or sideline drive to the basket. You want to start 1-2 steps to the side of where you want to attack the basket.
The lateral hesitation dribble is comparable to the retreat hesi in that this move is intended to get the defender closer to you, except you take a sidestep dribble instead of taking a step-back dribble.
To execute this move effectively, get into your dribble pocket as soon as you are taking the sidestep. It should all be in one quick motion like you are taking a sidestep jump shot.
Make sure you land on the balls of your feet so you can immediately attack the basket in a straight line.

Ultimately, the hesitation move is intended to make the defender hesitate!
The speed of the game increases as the level of competition improves. So if you learn to change speeds with the hesi, you will always have an advantage over your defender.
By following these seven steps, you will not only juke out your defender but you will also get a great shot for you or your teammate!
How to learn to play basketball from scratch
"School 2. 0" - the best educational project in the history of Russian basketball, has collected in one material all the basic skills that are needed for those who want to jump like Michael Jordan and throw a three-pointer like Steph Curry . We literally chew on you how to play basketball and become cool. Lots of videos are included.
Passion for basketball usually begins with the ball hitting the basket. Do not deprive yourself of this pleasure, learn to score from under the basket, then from two steps ... But after that, you should think about what elements to master in order to become a “correct” basketball player. We won't let you get bored - we won't fill all basketball practice with boring stops and turns. But in general, you can’t do without it, because the correct work of the legs, the habit of standing firmly, not mincing, not taking extra steps, quickly and correctly changing the direction of movement is an absolute must for a basketball player. Plus, of course, dribbling and passing.
In general, to start the basketball path, “School 2.0” recommends exercises to develop the following skills during basketball training:
Throw
Footwork
Transmission
Maintaining
Do two or three dozen workouts, combining the exercises from the following list, and you will notice real progress. Start each workout with 2-4 minutes of quiet running and such a joint warm-up:
Exercises are performed one after the other without stopping.
Shoulder warm-up. Stand up straight and stretch your arms out to the sides. Make circular movements with straight arms 10 times forward, then 10 times back.
Pelvic warm-up. Put your hands on your belt, feet shoulder-width apart. Perform rotations in the hip joint, as if twisting a hoop, 10 times in each direction.
Back workout. Bend your elbows and press to your chest, feet shoulder-width apart. Do rotations in the lower back 5-10 times in each direction.
Knee warm-up. Stand up straight, feet together. Squat down a bit and put your hands on your knees. Then perform rotational movements with your knees, helping yourself with your hands. Do 10 times in each direction.
Ankle warm-up. Put your hands on your belt. Place one foot on the toe slightly behind you. Resting on your toes, do 10 rotations in the ankle joint in each direction, then change legs.
Squats. At the end, do 5 deep squats, keeping your heels on the floor and extending your arms in front of you.
Throwing
Get used to throwing correctly right away - with one hand (the other can only hold the ball), with reverse spin. The forearm is perpendicular to the floor, the arm straightens completely, the hand “closes”. Listen to how the ball blows up the net - it's a thrill.
1. Shooting stand
Stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart, ball in hand.
At the signal, take a throwing stance, and at the next signal, return to the starting position.
Ready to throw: legs bent, back straight, slightly tilted forward. Throwing hand behind the ball (not sideways!), the second hand holds the ball in front-side.
Raise the ball to shoulder level.
Repeat 10 times with right and left hand.
2. Single handed throw on the spot
Get into the throwing position. The ball lies in one hand at the level of the head, the elbow is directed forward, the second hand does not help.
Squat down a little and with the simultaneous extension of the legs and elbow, throw the ball up in front of you. Stay in the final position until the ball hits the floor.
Repeat 10 times with right and left hand.
3. Throw with one hand into the hoop from one meter
Stand under the hoop with the ball in your hand at shoulder height. The other hand does not help!
Squat down and at the same time extend your legs and arms, make a throw around the ring. Keep the final position of the straightened arm and closed hand until the ball hits the floor.
Try to hit the ball in the corner of the rectangle drawn on the shield, then the ball will be in the ring.
Throw from different positions. 10 times with the right and left hand.
4. Medium throw
Stand at a distance of 3-4 meters from the ring and take a throwing stance. Sit down and with the simultaneous extension of the legs and arms, make a throw around the ring. Keep the final position of the straightened arm and closed hand until the ball hits the floor.
Throw from different positions.
Stand a few meters from the ring. Make yourself an autopass, take a small jump forward, catch the ball, take a shooting stance, and hit the basket.
Perform the exercise 10 times with your stronger arm.
5. Two steps - throw
Stand three meters from the ring. Take two steps from the spot and throw the ring.
Get on the three-point line. Take a couple of hits with the ball, then two steps and throw the ring.
From the three-point line, make yourself an autopass. Then catch the ball, take two steps and shoot the ring.
Try to hit the ball in the corner of the rectangle drawn on the shield.
Repeat 10 times with right and left hand.
6. Two steps - low shot
Get on the three-point line. Take a couple of hits with the ball, then two steps and throw from the bottom of the ring.
Stand three meters from the ring. Take two steps from the spot and throw the ring from below.
From the three-point line, make yourself an autopass. Then catch the ball, take two steps and shoot the ring.
Try to hit the ball in the corner of the rectangle drawn on the shield.
Repeat 10 times with right and left hand.
Footwork
Glue your feet to the floor. No extra steps! Otherwise - "jog", whistle, give the ball to the opponents.
1. Jump stop
The exercise is performed on the spot. Make yourself an autopass, catch the ball with two hands and at the same time do a two-foot jump into a basketball stance.
Determine the axial (supporting) leg and perform turns on this leg forward and backward.
Then imitate the following sequence of actions: take the ball in your hands, being completely in the air; land on both (!) feet at the same time; do turns around the same (!) leg.
Repeat the exercise 10 times: 5 times turning on the right foot and 5 times on the left.
2. Step stop
The exercise is performed on the spot. Make yourself an autopass, catch the ball with both hands and stop at the same time with two steps into the basketball stance.
The axial (supporting) leg will be the one with which you took the first step - on this leg, perform turns forward and backward.
Repeat the exercise 10 times: turning 5 times on the right foot and 5 times on the left.
3. Zigzag without a ball with a jump stop
All changes in the direction of movement are made by a clear turn around the near leg - even through the “face”, even through the “back”. This is very important in basketball!
4. Zigzag without a ball with a stop in steps
It is performed in the same way as the previous exercise, but the stop at the cone is one-two, not a jump.
Transmission
Mastering the culture of passing will not only earn you the respect of your playmates, but it will also give you a lot of fun. Maybe even more than hitting the ring.
1. Passing with two hands into the wall
Stand 3-5 meters from the wall. Pass the ball into the wall with both hands from the chest.
Hold the ball with both hands from the sides and direct it to the wall with a wrist movement. As a result, the arms at the elbows should straighten, and the hands should “close”.
Move further back to make longer passes. At the moment of such a transfer, one leg takes a step forward. Catch such a transmission from the floor.
Repeat the exercise 15-20 times.
2. Passing with one hand into the wall
Stand 3-5 meters from the wall. Pass the ball into the wall with one hand from the shoulder.
Hand behind the ball, thumbs up. Carpal movement.
Repeat the exercise 15-20 times for each hand.
3. Lying One-Hand Pass
Lying on your back, pass with one hand up.
Repeat the exercise 15-20 times for each hand.
Dribbling
Great basketball dribbling is the key to all doors. Not to mention how effective it is.
1. Palms on the ball
Take the ball in your hands and move it from hand to hand, hitting it with your palms.
Start slowly and then speed up. 15 seconds slow, 15 fast.
Repeat 1-2 times.
2. Ball on fingers
Quickly toss the ball with your fingertips from one hand to the other: raise and lower in front of you; sit down and get up; raise and lower in motion.
Perform each exercise 2-3 times for 15 seconds.
3. Ball around the body
Move the ball from one hand to the other as quickly as possible: around the body; around the head; in the round-leg basketball stance; in a basketball stance figure eight around the legs.
Do 5 reps each side.
4. Low dribbling on the spot
Low ball dribbling in different positions:
Basketball stance, feet parallel. Dribble to the side of your foot. Free hand in defense position.
Sit on the floor and dribble the ball from your side, bringing the ball closer or further away.
Repeat 15 times with each hand. Do 2-3 sets.
5. Medium dribbling in motion
Medium dribbling of the ball (height - to the waist) in motion. Do it at speed.
Make a turn leaving the ball in place and picking it up with the other hand.
Dribble two courts with each hand.
6. V-dribbling in front of you
Stand in a basketball stance.
Dribble with one hand in front of you in a V, with your right and left hands in turn.
Repeat 15 times with each hand. Do 2-3 sets.
7. Crossover
Move the ball in place in front of you from one hand to the other.
First do the exercise for each stroke.
Then - for every third hit.
After translation, touch the floor with your free hand.
Repeat 15 times with each hand. Do 2-3 sets.
8. Underfoot transfers
Transfer the ball between the legs from one hand to the other.
Translate every third hit with the ball.
After translation, touch the floor with your free hand.
Repeat 15 times with each hand. Do 2-3 sets.
That's it for starters. Of course, it would be nice to learn how to fly - in the sense of jumping high without a trampoline. But that's another story. If you only jump, you are a jumper. And if you have mastered these exercises, you are almost a basketball player. Then you can already learn to play in a team, in real contact conditions.

Basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891. Then everything was different: playgrounds, baskets, balls…

The history of basketballs
The history of basketballs
What balls are played now and how it happened
The beginning
The rules have also changed a lot during this time. Initially, there were only 13 of them in basketball:
The ball can be thrown in any direction with one or two hands.
The ball may be hit with one or both hands in any direction, but never with the fist.
The player may not run with the ball. The player must throw the ball from the point at which he caught it, except for a player running at high speed.
The ball must be held with the hands. You can not use the forearms and body to hold the ball.
In any case, hitting, grabbing, holding and pushing the opponent is not allowed. The first violation of this rule by any player shall be called a foul; the second foul disqualifies him until the next ball is scored, and if there was an obvious intention to injure the player, then a disqualification for the entire game. It is not allowed to replace a disqualified player.
Punching the ball is a violation of points 2 and 4, the penalty is described in point 5. commit no foul).
A point is scored if a ball thrown or bouncing off the floor hits the basket and stays there. Defending players are not allowed to touch the ball or basket while shooting. If the ball touches the edge and the opponents move the basket, then a point is scored.
If the ball goes out of bounds, it must be dropped into the field by the first player to touch it. In the event of a dispute, the referee must throw the ball into the field. The thrower is allowed to hold the ball for five seconds. If he holds it longer, then the ball is given to the opponent. If either side tries to play for time, the referee must give them a foul.
The referee must monitor the actions of the players and fouls, and notify the referee of three consecutive fouls. He shall have the power to disqualify players under rule 5.
The referee must watch the ball and determine when the ball is in play (inbounds) and when it is out of bounds (out of bounds), which side should be in possession of the ball, and any other actions that the referee would normally take .
The game consists of two halves of 15 minutes each with a break of 5 minutes between them.
The side with the most goals during this time period is the winner.
The most important rule change in the history of basketball is the introduction of dribbling. In the original version of the game, this was prohibited by paragraph 3 of the rules.
One of the first changes in the game and the rules was the replacement of the basket with a ring with a net. It seemed to be very inconvenient to climb after the ball every time after a hit. Around the same time, free throws, dribbling appeared, and the composition of the teams was fixed for 5 players on the court at the same time. Before that, in some matches, up to 50 people could be on the court at the same time. All this happened back in 1896-1897.
The emergence of FIBA (International Basketball Federation)
Basketball at the beginning of the 20th century became more popular and the rules in each country could be different. This was one of the reasons why FIBA appeared in 1932 year. At the first FIBA Congress, the teams were approved (5 people and 2 substitutes), and it was decided that after each goal there would be a throw-in in the center. This rule was removed after 4 years to reduce the advantage of tall players.
Over the next few years, the main changes were related to the number of personal fouls, the number of players on the bench and the introduction of a time limit for getting the ball into the opponent's half of the court.
More changes came in 1952 after the Olympics. The game became very boring, because the teams held the ball, having received a minimal lead in the score. Everyone understood this and searched for solutions for several years in order to save the life of basketball. At 1954 Danny Biason proposed to the NBA to limit the time for the shot to 24 seconds. At the 1956 Olympics, there was a similar rule: it was necessary to make a throw in 30 seconds. At the same time, to add equality between defense and attack, another rule familiar to us appeared: you need to start dribbling the ball before the supporting leg comes off.
Then the game became similar to the modern one from a technical point of view: dribbling, shots, a three-second zone appeared. In 1979, the NBA added a three-point line, and in 19In 1984, FIBA also added an arc.
!!! An article about the evolution of the three-point shot and interesting facts:
10 interesting facts about the three-point shot.

Three-pointer evolution and insane records.
Changes in the rules and basketball since 1956 have included the number of free kicks, the situations in which these free kicks are given, and individual and team penalties. Some rules were introduced, and a few years later they were canceled. For example, the "3 for 2" rule: if a player was fouled in the shooting phase, then if one of the first two shots was missed, he could make another free throw. This rule was later removed.
Since the 1990s there have been constant changes: the emergence of alley-oops, changes in the timing and rewriting of the rules of running, which continue to this day.
From the most interesting: if the team has 0.3 seconds or less to throw the ball from behind, then it must be a one-touch throw. It takes at least 0.4 seconds to perform a full throw.
Derrick Fisher made similar throws:
And here is a small selection of videos of how they throw in 0.2 seconds:

Kevin likes to start off with a between the legs setup dribble to float the ball and hesi, before pulling up into a quick shot. If you’re a right handed shooter, going between the legs to the left, pausing and then lifting will give you good chance at making it. For left-handed shooters, the reverse works well (between the legs to the right).
You must hit one hesi before scoring. Get 3 makes in a row.
Hit a shifty move at the first cone. Then hit any stop move and attack the basket. Change up the finish every time.
Being in a triple-threat position means you are in a position to either pass the ball to an open shooter, attack the basket, or shoot the ball off the dribble. 
If you can alter the defender’s line of sight, then will change the defender’s eye level. 
But what happens when it does not work? 
Your defender will sprint back to cut off your straight line to the basket.

It is not allowed to replace a disqualified player. 
Before that, in some matches, up to 50 people could be on the court at the same time. All this happened back in 1896-1897. 
Everyone understood this and searched for solutions for several years in order to save the life of basketball. At 1954 Danny Biason proposed to the NBA to limit the time for the shot to 24 seconds. At the 1956 Olympics, there was a similar rule: it was necessary to make a throw in 30 seconds. At the same time, to add equality between defense and attack, another rule familiar to us appeared: you need to start dribbling the ball before the supporting leg comes off.
