There are five different ways to pass a player in basketball. Depending on the defensive stance, the first is a body fake. It's also possible to pass a player by changing direction and hands from the front or back. If changing direction from the front isn't possible, you can also pass a player by changing direction between your legs, but this is a slightly more difficult method. If a player's direction is completely blocked while driving towards the basket, they can reverse the player's back and move in the opposite direction to reach the basket.
