    Different with CJ tho from what I have seen, with CJ it is more of a handle situation and change of direction, with B-Roy and Sharpe they just seem to be moving at a steady, almost slow pace and than change gears all of a sudden in a direct line and get by someone. I would also say that from the little I have seen of Sharpe's jumper they body seems to be a lot like B-Roy's - the body seems to be going up very straight like B-Roys used to. Again, this is really the first time we have seen the kid play for real, so I am sure there will be many differences, but there are certainly some B-Roy similarities.

    Yeah, I think Sharpe's is not really intentional "hesitation move". . It's probably more like he really just hesitated, as in he's unsure what to do (to pull up or get close to the basket).

    I could be wrong

    He did it like three times last night in the exact same way to get by his man and lay the ball up in the same way. If anything I would say that move is completely rehearsed from start to finish and could become predictable if it isn't changed up a little from time to time when he uses it but the young guy has a lot of tricks in his bag and I think that's one of them not just something unintentional.

    Some people just have natural talent. They do something without even realizing they're doing it.

    I hardly ever play ball anymore, but I actually had a pretty decent hesitation move.... I never worked on it. Never developed it. I just..... did it?

    He probably can but it would be on his back
