Stop making layups harder than they need to be! 🛑 You don't need a crazy trick shot every time you get into the paint. Just read the defender and let their positioning dictate your finish.

Here is the cheat code:
🏀 Defender in front? Finish overhand to protect the ball.
🏀 Defender behind? Finish underhand to extend away from the contest.
🏀 Defender on your side? Finish outside your frame.

We emphasize this exact read-and-react framework at PGC Basketball because it takes the guesswork out of finishing at the rim. Build these habits, keep it simple, and go get buckets. 🪣🔥
