Phillips: This incorporates a little more power, but he’s using all of his stabilizers to stay in a split stance. You’re catching [the ball] in the same spot and throwing it as hard as you can against the wall. The chest pass is a basic basketball movement, so Steve can use the same follow-through movement he would on a chest pass. This also helps him [to be] be able to catch a pass from a teammate.
