Basketball Footwork: The 1-2 Step

The 1-2 step is the generic beginning to a basketball set shot.  Basically, I use this whenever I'm faced up against a defender and I'm going to shoot in his face.  To do the 1-2 step you just take your pivot foot and step into your shot.  This means you must step into a balanced position with your feet shoulder width apart.  This cant also be done when you make a move.   You just always have to set your inside foot first.  The outside foot should always be the one that is planted second.  This is key even when you don't make a move.  Now, go get some shooting in at the gym! I know I'm going to, first game tomorrow!
