Pivot jab step shooting in basketball uses footwork (pivoting) and a quick, fake step (jab) to create space from a defender, setting up a jump shot by making the defender move, allowing you to pull back into your shot or drive. Key elements involve establishing a pivot foot, using shoulder/eyes to sell the move, and executing quick, short jabs (or longer ones to drive) that lead into a balanced shooting motion without traveling. | Jefferson L.
