When you watch any basketball game from high school to the NBA, you will notice post players using one of these scoring options:
The layup Shot
The Dunk Shot
Jump Hook Shot
Fade-away Jump Shot
Turnaround Jump Shot
The layup and dunk shots are effective scoring options, however, they don't come easy in the game. The jump hook shot also an effective option, however, it is rarely used properly. The fade-away and turnaround shots are post players' favorite, but they are less effective because the defensive players can successively challenge the options. There are other scoring options that post players are not aware of that requires very little physical and natural ability, but are twice as effective. These options are part of the following series:

When executing the Scoring Options, keep the following tips in mind to maximize your results:
When receiving the basketball, jump to it, and land with your feet almost even and shoulder width apart so that you can pivot with either foot.
All the scoring options are the same except for the finishing point. Thus, once you learn one, you can simply change the finishing point depending on what the defensive player gives you.
The scoring options feel smooth on different sides of the court depending on your strong hand. Locate your comfort side, and practice the weak side to bring it to par.
Jumping off the off-foot will allow you to maintain your balance, square up, and shoot the basketball without gliding or fading away when executing the forward and crossover-step options.
When shifting the basketball from one side to the other, protect the basketball by keeping it close to your body.
In the advance stage, you can jump off one foot and delay your release to shoot over a tall defensive player.
Remember, these 14 scoring options are not moves. They are simple ways of putting the basketball in the basket. You can easily execute them without the dribble. All you need to do is read the defensive player's stance, and take advantage of his or her mistakes. The power post moves are vehicles that will propel you to the post from where you can use the scoring options.
