How do you break ankles in basketball?

If your defender is guarding you closely, you can use the crossover to try to break the defender's ankles. The trick is to fake the defender when he thinks your going one direction, but you are really going the other. Another good ankle breaking crossover is the killer crossover. You do between the legs left or right and go the other direction quickly. There are other killer crossovers like the Tony Parker crossover, Allen Iverson crossover, Derrick Rose crossover with counter, and many others.

I recommend for you to go on youtube and search killer crossovers it will really help:)

P.S. Twisting the defenders ankles will not break ankles
