  • Eric 'Broadway' Jones: Here we go. Swoop, we're moving on to an expert level.

  • Dwayne 'Swoop' Simpson: Expert? Well, I'm not really, you know, I'm a professional,

  • but I'm not really on an expert.

  • Eric: This is called a spin-back dribble.

  • Dwayne: Spin-back.

  • Eric: It's hard to explain these kind of dribbles, because this is kind of something you have

  • to really practice on

  • Dwayne: Oh, really?

  • Eric: But we're going to try to break it down using the expert dribbler.

  • Dwayne: Okay.

  • Eric: The Roadrunner.

  • Dwayne: Alright.

  • Eric: So you actually want to show the defender.

  • Dwayne: Right.

  • Eric: Your back.

  • Dwayne: Back.

  • Eric: So the defender sees you in front of him first.

  • Dwayne: Right.

  • Eric: And then you actually turn around while maintaining the dribble, and you put the ball

  • in front of him, giving him the illusion he can get it.

  • Dwayne: Right.

  • Eric: But your hands are so quick.

  • Dwayne: Right.

  • Eric: That he's not able to steal the ball. It sounds very complicated.

  • Dwayne: Okay, okay.

  • Eric: But when you become an expert like the Roadrunner, it's child's-play.

  • Dwayne: Alright. Let's see it. Let's see it.

  • Eric: So you're looking at the defender. You go right up on him. Show him your back. Bam.

  • Dwayne: Oh, wow.

  • Eric: That's quick. Bam. Spin-back dribble.

  • Dwayne: And you're certain that these moves work? Because, you know, I've been playing

  • defense all day long, and I'm not really sure. The other ones, but this one? You know what?

  • Come on. I'm playing defense again, because I don't ...

  • Eric: Hey, Swoop, are you sure?

  • Dwayne: No, listen, listen. I can get the ball. I'm going to get the ball. I'm watching

  • you little guy. I'm going to get this ball. I've got it. Come on, baby. Come on.

  • Eric: Hey, Swoop, we need you for the game, man. You were right there.

  • Dwayne: It was right there. I had it, though. It was there.

  • Eric: Relax, man. Listen, listen. That was a nice move right there. I like that one.

  • Good job, buddy. So that's the spin-back dribble. Again, expert moves by an expert ball handler,

  • the Roadrunner. You want to put that ball right in front of the defense. Turn your back

  • on him. Bring it here, and then keep going. That's how you do it. The spin-back dribble.

Eric 'Broadway' Jones: Here we go. Swoop, we're moving on to an expert level.
