Highlights are not usually made up of crisp passes and 12-foot jumpers. Basketball highlights are full of players making their defenders look ridiculous – like they’re the Globetrotters just toying with the Washington Generals.
ASU guard Shannon Evans doesn’t need to throw a ball of his defender’s head to make them look foolish, either, he just uses his go-to move – one of many he claims to have. The move is a mix between a step back and a crossover, a “pull back” as ASU head coach Bobby Hurley calls it.
Evans sells the move like he’s driving to the hole, then abruptly slams the breaks and decelerates from 100 to zero instantly.
