During the course of a basketball game, there will be times when you have to break down your defender to get a shot for yourself or create a scoring opportunity for a teammate.
Typically isolation dribbling moves are not high percentage shots, but there is a time for them. If you end up with the ball in your hands with a limited amount of seconds left on the play clock, you may need to make a move past your defender. This basketball drill will come in handy for these times.
