how are you supposed to get around people that are 6"0 and taller?and that always block your shot!

this is cool advice but were is the baby hook.

Another thing to remember is to not get too fancy.  A lot of young players try to do crazy acrobatic layups when finishing at the basket.  Don't be afraid to take contact when you go up for a layup.  If you get hit, just go to the free throw line to get your 2 points.

injuries happen in basketball theres nothing anybody can do too avoid it.

and these are good moves, and they actually work, so for all you young players out there work on this stuff, it will pay off for u in a couple of months

and svcards53 the way too beat taller people is most of time time big men are aggressive so use the up and under move just pump fake then when he jumps dip under and u got an easy basket.

Great! This helped so much. Now I bet ill get double the points.

Or you could fake your shot but that might not work because your defender might be right there but you could try it to make it more simple. I can not think of any way for those big and fast 6 foot but that might help. You can trust the article too.

If you want to learn to finish at the rim watch a video clip of Derrick Rose, go to youtube and type in derrick rose and find the one bye xfactor541. Rose is a tremendous example of the body control and strength needed to finish at the rim. DO NOT HOLD THE BALL AT YOUR HIP that is exactly how defenders can get at the ball. Hold the ball out level with your right shoulder for a righty layup and left shoulder for a lefty layup. Hold the ball at your shoulder and spread your elbows in an upsiide down V. This way ref's can see the people hacking at the ball and it is much easier to absorb hits and finish with the ball already up. Lastly, you must be sure to keep your shoulders square to the rim to mantain strength and balance in the air. Practice by driving into someone with a pad and learn how to finish through hits. Another good way to practice is to pull a basketball hoop over to a trampoline and practice jumping high being hit and mantaining balance in the air to finish.
