Steve Nash Two Ball Crossover Basketball Passing Drill

 

Being able to handle the basketball, see the floor, and then make the correct pass as a point guard or primary ball-handler can be challenging. A big key to running the offense is hitting a cutter or teammate when they pop open, and sometimes there is not a lot of time or space to get the pass in. This is where being able to pass off of the dribble with one hand comes into play. If the ball handler can quickly snap an accurate pass off to a teammate with only one hand, it adds a lot of value to their game.

This basketball passing drill will work on being able to pass with either hand accurately, and it is also going to incorporate some two ball basketball dribbling as well. Passing off of the dribble can be a risky pass if not mastered, so really make sure that you spend the needed time working on this type of pass before using it in a game. Basketball drills like this are also great because a player can do them on their own. All they need are two basketballs and a wall to work on their game.
