I am a “hover ” lover. Discovering the advantages of hovering is where being first and creating space happens.
Watch the NBA games and check out who’s hovering (pg’s in particular). Dame, CJ, Westbrook, Uncle Drew, certainly Rondo, and of course Curry. LeBron, Donovan, Ja, and Lonzo also hover. Among the 2’s Harden hovers… Kemba really hovers; so does Devin Booker and Zach Lavine. Even JJ Reddick hovers. Damn … it really must be something to the hover.
The hover gives you time to make contrary decisions against your opponent and dictate offensively.
So please… take it from the pros and any other true ballhandler. Every scorer is an adorer of the hover---whether they know it or not, It just may be the best friend when you're "on the spot" and the action is hot.
