Hook Shot

by Michael Ceraolo

It is so old-school it is almost extinct
(it has a couple of new-school versions),
                                                            yet
it is unstoppable without fouling:

                             catch the ball on the block
                                                                       angle
your body properly to the basket
                                     (the defender at your back)
lift one side's arm and leg in one motion
                                                               and
s          w         e         e          p
                                               the arm protected by your body
kiss the ball in off the backboard,
                                                  or
drop it directly in the basket
