I’ve been trying to learn this move, and this is the best collection of clips. Thanks for putting it together.

Notice how this is all on the right side and IT is left handed.. this is a great move for weak hand driving.

I never knew u could use this as an 1st move attack

I always use this off of my retreat dribble.
can t wait to use it n a game

I know this move is called the smitty because he was the first to do it but it should be named after Isaiah Thomas because he mastered it!!

Shoutout to plaqueboymax for putting me on. This move is highkey hard to guard and relatively easy to learn

if he wasn't this crazy quick it wouldn't work

This is one variation of hip flipping, and Steve Nash did it absolutely constantly. You don't even need to do it real quick like this. You can protect the ball for a while, wait for things to clear up or stall, and then still flip your hips and blow by. And if the defender overplays, you can jab like you're blowing by and cross. If the defender gives space, you can flip your hips and shoot.
