Fake
A fake, or feint, is a misleading movement by an offensive player intended to throw a defensive player off balance to make room for a pass or shot. A pump fake is an example of this. A player may make a fake with their head, the ball, or even a step.
A head fake involves moving the head as if getting ready to shoot, or move right or left. A ball fake is when the ball is shown as in a pass fake or pump fake for a shot. A fake may also involve moving the body, or taking a step, in one direction before quickly changing direction.
A fake, or feint, will help shake an aggressive defender. Good body control and agility are essential when performing this move. It is also important for the player to sell the fake move in order to draw the defender off and open up the pass of shot.
