Nash's signature runner. So Steve Nash is by no means the most athletic guard to ever
enter the NBA I'm not even sure he can dunk but what he does have is a series of tricks
and crafty moves that are awesome especially when he gets around the basket to finish.
He is especially good at finishing off of 1 foot from around 15 feet before he gets
to the big men. The runner allows Steve Nash to keep him moving away from the defender
he just beat but also get up a shot before the bigs can block him. So here is the move.
So this move is great for when you beat your first defender but the second defender does
not fully commit to guarding you. This move works perfectly for undersized guards who
are looking to get the ball over a taller help side defender. So to begin this move
you need to somehow beat your defender. In this case Steve Nash uses an awesome pump
fake to get his defender in the air. Next you want to read the help side defender. In
this case the defender is kinda stuck in no-mans land. Not fully committed to stopping Steve
Nash but you can tell he is thinking about it. The reason Steve Nash gets this shot so
much is because defenders are so worried about his passing ability. So when the defender
doesn't fully commit. Steve Nash plants off his left foot to begin his runner. Like what
you see so far? Help us grow with a like, comment and a subscription. S he's shooting
notice how his elbow is perfectly under the ball. Just like an normal jump shot this gives
him optimal control and makes it so he can't miss left or right. A major reason most players
miss the runner is because their elbow points out causing them to miss eith left or right.
And the last key to the runner is the follow through. Steve Nash always follows though
just like a normal jump shot. He finishes with his fingers to the floor and his shooting
hip, shoulder, and elbow all perfectly align with the basket. Just like a normal jump shot
pretend you are putting your middle finger inside of the hoop. So remember the keys to
the runner. Beat your man and continue your momentum forward, keep your elbow underneath
the ball on the shot and hold that follow though just like a normal jump shot. Well
