Re: My PG builds feel slow every game.. What am I doing wrong

I'm not a dribble god but I've learned enough to become effective. Getting explosive moves is all about chaining from momentum dribbles. These are dribbles that typically involve pauses in a dribble motion with the ball at its apex, stuff like hesitations, crossovers and step backs (right stick plus right trigger). At the moment the ball reaches the apex, you launch into a quick drive/move (again with the right trigger pressed) to get a speed boost and get past your defender. For whatever reason I've never found a good tutorial online for this, but try looking at videos for momentum dribbling and speed boost. Quick first step, handles for days, space creator and ankle breaker are all useful. Tight handles is less good than it used to be. It was the primary badge for doing the explosive behind the back which got nerfed. I haven't been able to observe much benefit from it anymore.
