What is a "chest pass"?
A chest pass in basketball is a quick pass where the player throws the ball directly from their chest to a teammate. The player holds the ball with both hands, elbows bent, and pushes the ball out toward the receiver in a straight line. This pass is fast and accurate, making it useful for getting the ball to a teammate quickly and without much risk of being intercepted. It is often used in close-range situations and requires good control and proper body positioning.
Examples
