The Euro Step is an advanced skill move derived from the evolution of the European basketball game. In this move, the player first picks up their dribble and takes a long lateral step in one direction. This step requires longevity in order for the defender to think the player is going in that direction. In the second step, the player takes another long lateral step in the other direction, crossing over the front of the defender en route to the basket. Taking these steps and completing a euro step typically results in a clearer path to the basket or a more open shot compared to a typical drive to the basket.
This skill is for intermediate players who have the strength, footwork, and body control to finish the move.
