spin move
Twirling court maneuver
A spin move is an athletic maneuver where a player rotates their body to evade a defender, most common in basketball and football.
The player pivots quickly, using the turn to shield the ball and create separation: He hit a spin move at the three-point line and drove to the basket.
The technique requires balance and timing to avoid losing control or traveling.
