To become dangerous in the paint, you must force the defense to help on your attack. Yet most players aren’t able to draw help because they don’t cover enough ground. 

That’s where the dynamic jumpstop (DJ) comes in. Not only will it allow you to cover more ground on your drives, but you’ll also land more balanced, allowing you to absorb contact and play through fouls. 

Once you master this skill, you’ll be able to 

• Stop on a dime to freeze a shot blocker. 
• Initiate and absorb contact.
• Have better body control (fewer charges).
• Buy more time in the paint.
• Look more poised (Referees reward players who play controlled).

Pro Tip:
– Cover lots of ground with your DJ.
– Land low and on balance.
