We’ve gone over a lot of key basketball maneuvers and now it’s time to become a Triple Treat and learn about the Killer Crossover!

Okay so here is when things get a little….”football-esque,” meaning, the definitions don’t exactly clear up what the heck it is and you need a dictionary to understand the definitions!

Before you can really understand the game of basketball, there are a lot of key terms that you need to know.

If nothing else, learn the sport so you will be b’ball savvy when husband hunting these money makers!
