    Uploaded by

    Raffaele Imbrogno
    The triple threat position allows basketball players to quickly shoot, pass, or dribble drive. It involves having an athletic stance with knees bent, back straight, and evenly distributed weight on both feet. The ball is held between the hip and shoulder on the shooting side with both hands. From the triple threat position, a player can execute moves like a direct drive by stepping with their strong foot, a crossover drive by stepping with their strong foot to the weak side, or front turns by rotating on the ball of their pivot foot.
