This is a two-ball basketball combo move, and the purpose of this basketball dribbling drill is to work on the double crossover. By doing the move with 2 basketballs, you will work on both your weak and strong hand at the same time and make the drill more difficult. The idea is that if you can do this drill with 2 basketballs, then in a game, it should be easier to do the move with only one basketball.
A great thing about this basketball drill is that it can be done pretty much anywhere that there is a flat hard surface. So whether it is during basketball training on the side of the court or in an empty garage, you can do this ball handling drill.
