What is a "fake pass"?
A fake pass in basketball is a move where a player pretends to pass the ball to trick the defender into reacting, but instead keeps the ball and continues playing. The player uses their body and eyes to make it look like they are passing, but at the last moment, they either dribble or take a shot instead. This move is meant to confuse the defender and create an opening for the player to make a better play. A fake pass requires good timing and skill to be convincing.
Examples
