Drill Goal: Build on the Rondo fake and learn how to sell the shot fake and step across move.

Drive to the right towards the basket and dribble with your right hand as you do.
As you get to the basket you are going to plant with both feet and make your right foot your pivot foot.
While you are planting you are going to fake a reverse layup with your left hand.
The imaginary defender doesn't completely go for the Rondo fake so you are going to pivot on your right foot all the way around and shot fake.
As the imaginary defender leaves his feet to block the shot you are going to step across to your left side, jump off both feet at the same time, and lay the basketball up.

If you drive left then you are going to pivot on your left foot and Rondo fake with your right hand.
