This is a cross between the "preying mantis" and the hot sauce "hypnotizer"...If you guys have any names for it then throw 'em out thurrr

1. Hold the ball above your head and then pretend to do an overhead pass but as you do it, let the ball run down your back (Keep your hands on either side of his head so you confuse them so they think its behind there head)
2. As the ball rolls down your back lift one leg off the ground and kick it
3. If the kick is done correctly, then the ball should go over your head and his (kinda like the hot sauce "hypnotizer")
4.Look as if you dont have the ball and then run around him and get it

***This trick is very easy once you get the kick down, i was trying to do the preying mantis when i accidently discovered this move...while trying to lift my foot up to catch the ball between the heel of my foot and the back of my leg, i accidently kicked it with the back of my heel and it flew over me and the Defense***

I haven't seen the preying mantis, how do you do that? But anyway, I have seen variations on this move.

"Preying Mantis"
1. Hold tha ball above ya head and then pretend to do an overhead pass but as u do it, let tha ball run down ya back. keep ur hands either side of his head so u this to confuse dem a bit so he think it may be behind his head.
2. Heres da real tricky part. as da ball runs down ya backm lift one leg off the ground and hook it back towards ya ass and catch the ball in between ya heel and the back of ya leg.
3. Then when u have it stuck in there, go into a preying mantis thing like he does n tha karate kid. hold it for a minute to make it look cool.
4. then just punch tha ball out from ya leg.

***instead of hooking the ball...you kick it over u and the D***
