hop step
Quick deceptive footwork
A hop step is a basketball move where a player gathers the ball while taking a small hop, landing on both feet simultaneously.
This establishes a legal pivot position and allows the player to shoot, pass, or drive in either direction: He used a hop step to create space for the layup.
