I had to come back and comment. I used this move playing tonight with friends, worked well. Honestly you do not have to be that much stronger than your opponent timing is key, but it throws the defender off rhythm for sure.

I feel confident because I'M THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD!!
I'ts SIMPLE.

I have a bad habit of picking up the ball before I'm ready so for example I'll do a crossover and then take 1 dribble and pick up the ball to go into my layup even if I should take 1 more dribble and step back or spin move etc. So if I ever get stuck in my two steps I'll be able to use this as an option.

Thanks for the video. This is a really nice move, I combinate the move with a hook shot because I am short

You should do some defensive tutorials, maybe like the chasedown block, boxing out and rebounding, when to reach in for a steal, etc.
