Default Pivoting

I know pivoting is one of the most basic moves one should possess but I'm really bad at it. I'm talking about all types of pivoting, be it during a fast break you get body contact with the D and you spin away from him or when you're at the low post you pivot and drive for a lay up.

Are there any ways to improve it? I suck at it so I only use crossovers...

Default Re: Pivoting

Pivoting is one of those things you can practice anywhere and without a ball. You can practice in your bedroom, or while watching TV, but if you can do it in front of a mirror you may be able to see what your doing wrong. Also, make sure you practice pivoting with both feet.
