Move Mondays: Malik Newman's hesitation pull-up is unstoppable

For Michael Jordan it was the tongue-wagging fade away jump shot, for Allen Iverson it was the ankle-breaking killer crossover and for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar it was the net-scorching sky hook; the recurring theme among all great players is great moves.

Every Monday during the hoops season we’ll scour the globe to check in with the country’s most elite players and have them dish on one of the many sure-fire juke moves they implement throughout the course of a game.

This week we caught up with Callaway (Jackson, Miss.) shooting guard Malik Newman, the top guard in the ESPN 100 who was recently named to the McDonald’s All American game.

THE MOVE: The Hesitation Pull-Up

THE EXECUTION: “Say if I get the rebound and I push up the floor real hard in my right hand, I crossover to my left hand and fake like I’m gonna go real hard at the rim or to another move but I pull-up instead. If you jump I’m gonna go by you for the layup, but 9 times out of 10 you’re gonna back up because it seems like I’m coming really hard.”

THE SELL: “Nobody’s stopping that. Nobody.”
