My favorite thing to do over the summer is going to sleep everyday and waking up until I feel like it

jeremy lin has a plethora of moves he can choose from to use against nba teams such as the cross over dribble and the step back shot all these moves allow him to create space from his players and make his shots. his ability to read the defense makes him more of a threat to the other team bc he knows when to drive and when to shot both he can be successful at.

Lin used his quick crossover to stun the defense then blew by them with his quickness to get to the basketball

Lin used triple threat and the jab step to trick the opponent into thinking he would make a jump shot or he would go in for a layup. Lin could tell that if the opponent moved back, he could do a jump shot, or if the opponent moved forward to guard him, he could run around him and make a layup. -Samantha Strauss

Lin used the crossover and an escape move to gain space with defense most of the time. Also he reads the defense so well that he always knows what move will give him that extra step and stay ahead.

I noticed that Jeremy Lin creates space by swiching hands while going to the basket against John Wall, he also used the double clutch layup ( 2:15 ) but he could not have done that unless he Jabsteped the way he did. He used that great spin move but didn't get the bucket hahahahahahaha ( 3:06 )

He used a cross over move to fake the opponent out. He then had a very fast first step, giving him space between the opponent. While driving, he used his body to protect the ball, and went up with a strong layup. When he had the ball, he noticed the defence had a little awkard footing, so he took advantage of that by driving, thus scoring the point.

I noticed that Jeremy Lin effectively used the cross over to give himself space from the defenders. He also used a spin which helped him to gain space. Finally he used picks, and good jab steps to gain space.

Jeremy Lin used a crossover dribble and he also used a switch handed layup(2:17). Lin's ability to read the defense gave him the ability to juke out the defense causing opening to appear so he could make the play.

He uses a crossover to quickly change direction and, he uses a jab-step strong-side drive to get to the basket.

Lin used the cross over and the jab step. His quickness allows him to split between 2 defenders or spin around them.

he used triple threat to make it look like he was going to make the jumpshot.

also he keeps moving around to make space and to find a good spot to make a shot

Out of his arsenal of skills to penetrate to the basket, two of Lin's most effective moves were his jab step used drive on the strong side (2:18) and his spin move to get past larger defenders (3:35).

Lin's ability to read the defense has allowed him to be successful by quickly identifying passing lanes (53 sec) and driving lanes to attack the rim.

He creates space by cutting towards the basket and also using his crossovers to cushion the amount of space he has.

1. Creating Space by using picks, A very decpetive crossover and quick spin move also going into the picks and making his way to the basket - Jaime Dacosta

Jeremy Lin used crossover and stepback to beat John Wall and score. When he drives he uses his ability to read the defense to know when to lay it up or pass it
