1 year agoBesides his physical attribute, he has a signature move that’s incredibly hard to defend. When approaching for a layup, we traditionally take the two steps to take off with the leg opposite to our shooting hand. The best for balance, tried-and-true, we all know it. Zion frequently does the lightning fast one-step takeoff though with the same-side foot that allows him to slash right by the defender. It’s a common move but Zion has mastered it like nobody else because of his insane touch after the explosive jump. Dude takes off like DRose but finishes like George Gervin.
This just unlocked a memory of playing on the high school team and I had this teammate that would shove his fingers up your ass when you tried to post him up. He even did it in actual games to the other team.
