Question
Do you have to do all these fancy things like through the legs and behind the back. The only thing I focus on is cross over, getting open, and spin. Also does Carmelo Anthony do fancy stuff a lot?

Answer
Dear friend,

Fancy things are not that useful, unless they are also that effective. However, it's indeed important that you have a wide variety of moves to use so that the defender can't easily foresee what your move will be.

You can watch carmelo anthony videos by yourself on youtube.com to make up your mind about him.

Sincerely Yours,
