Damn, gotta love Kirk's first step technique.</div>its not that difficult, first step is all about creating space for yourself not just speed. And a first step as refferred to in the nba is not specifically the very first step you take its the basic movements and way you attack the basket or create a jumpshot on your first move with the dribble. For example, paul pierce uses his jab step followed by a step back then a jumper. One step and still requires a good deal of technique and knowledge of how to attack a defender and the basket.

A first step is when you use your quickness to try and get an advantage on the defender going to the rim...When yankshater said Hinrich had the better first step, he wasnt talking about a jab step. Now, he's just trying to find some tiny way out of this mess that he put himself into.
