Second, don't hit the Weight Room. See a good shrink instead. What you need to do to be a Pivot Man is lose your conscience. Just think.....black hole.....black hole.....

Post play is all about getting a stride's distance from the defender. You contact him just before the inbounding throw is made. Then it's a BIG junp step to meet the ball and gain distance from him. You land on the foot opposite your shooting hand and pivot on the catch. Did I mention you ALWAYS ALWAYS shoot it?

Remember, if you are guarded by a taller player that you can fake the turnaround take a step on your non-pivot foot, raise your pivot foot and throw in a nice throw-back scoop shot. (I'm getting tears in my eyes thinking about it.) I loved watching those big freaks fly by my right shoulder with that dumb look on their faces. Just don't mess up by passing it back out to a lousey 2 or 3.

Serously, trying to wedge the defender and have the ball come into you seldom works. It just attracts secondary defenders like the nasty fruitflies they truly are.
AHA!! The truth about JCrow comes out now!

Although I can't accuse you of being a troll, still you are a player in disguise. It's just a nice thing to know...
