Fake then take - fake before passing, e.g., pass fake, shot fake, Iverson side jab step, Kobe front jab. Against pressure, stay low, tuck the ball in, elbow behind. Use hook, sweep, Iverson and double pivots to create space. Read your man, look for doors - shoulder-to-head each side (arms down), armpit to hip (arms up). Also read other defenders, including the help.
