grain welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re reviewing our picks for the top
ten iconic skill moves in sports what a
play what is spinning around standing
ovations material for this list we’re
looking at moves made famous by some of
the greatest names in the game these are
the moves that even if you don’t know
the sport very well you still recognize
but that means they aren’t necessarily
the toughest moves either so keep that
in mind this catch is amazing one-handed
pulls it down hips down inbounds number
ten the no-look pass drops it back
sometimes called a blind pass this move
is pretty straightforward
essentially the player makes a pass to
someone on their team without looking at
them seven delays when performed
correctly this pass is nearly impossible
for the defense to stop because the
player does not give away his or her
intentions with their eyes and could
conceivably pass to anyone on the court
or ice back the other way
while these passes are risky because the
player can’t be sure that the pass will
be completed they make excellent
highlight clips regardless of which
sport it’s performed in number nine the
lacrosse move puts this buck up on a
stick blade there and tries to put it
upstairs on carry price hockey has a
plethora of skill moves to choose from
and a separate top ten list could be
dedicated to the sport alone one of the
more common moves is known as the toe
drag where the plug uses the toe of the
stick blade to drag the puck around a
defender but we’ve chosen the lacrosse
move for this list also known as the
Michigan or the high wrap the move
involves the player scooping the puck
and lifting it from the ice before
firing it towards the top corner of the
net
this move is rarely seen during actual
game play although Sidney Crosby used it
to score during a QMJHL game when he was
just 16 years old adding to his legacy
with the Butte finishes with two goals
and forces number eight this step over
nicely to think this is 54 appearances
country one of the most popular moves
used by attacking players the step over
is a dribbling move used by a player who
is attempting to get around a defender
the attacking player makes it appear as
though he’s moving in one direction
before quickly going the other way it
was allegedly invented by Dutch player
law Adam back in the early 20th century
but it wasn’t until the 1990s that the
move became globally popular thanks to
the Brazilian superstar Ronaldo number 7
the crossover dribble Williams
killer crossover
looks thirsty similar to the step-over
this move allows the attacking player to
make it seem like they will be moving in
one direction before quickly reversing
and moving the other way for example the
player may dribble the ball in their
left hand and make a step to the left
before quickly switching the ball to
their right hand and moving in that
direction
Lawson while there are many variations
to the move the most popular type has to
be the ankle breaking crossover where
the move causes the defender to fall
over
ankle breaker number six the Peter
Forsberg
a one-handed move
at the Peter Forsberg though there you
know you’ve done something right when
you have a skill move named after you
play after let it go
just across the
Peter Forsberg pulled this move out
while playing for Sweden during the gold
medal game against Canada in the 1994
Winter Olympics look at that reach one
hand on the stick and Usher’s the puck
in behind Gloria Hearst
with the game tied and gone to a
shootout forsberg came down the ice and
made a move to the right before pulling
the puck back in the other direction
with one hand and sliding it in the open
side a move inspired by fellow Swedish
player Kent Nielsen the goal won Sweden
the gold medal and even found its way
onto a Swedish postage stamp today
whenever another player attempts the
same move the commentators often
reference that famous goal number five
the one-handed catch
it seems like you’ll see an impressive
one-handed catch every week during the
NFL season but that doesn’t make this
feat any less impressive
that’ll make some highlight film
absolutely that’s as good as it gets
recently there have been some ridiculous
one-handed catches in the NFL
including Odell Beckham jr. ‘he’s
absolutely insane catch against the
Dallas Cowboys in 2014 where he
essentially caught the ball using just
his fingertips that may be the greatest
catch I’ve ever seen with receivers
making more and more extraordinary
catches every week it’s proof that
sometimes all the quarterback needs to
do is throw the ball up for grabs Wow
one-handed number for curl nikamoda
Fantastico he’s done it again another
move associated with an individual
player curling or bending the ball
wasn’t invented by David Beckham but
it’s hard to argue that he wasn’t one of
the best to ever do it Becca could raise
a roof pay with a goal this skill is
often used while taking a free-kick and
involves using the inside of the foot to
create spin to make the ball curve gets
it up and down with pace it starts at
the goalkeeper dips and curls towards
that side netting it’s unstoppable this
fools the goalkeeper into thinking the
ball is heading in one direction and
also helps get the ball around the wall
of defenders here comes toy
number three the spinorama here he comes
the spinorama was such an effective move
in the shootout that the NHL actually
banned it in 2014
lucky for us hockey players are so
skilled that they can still execute it
during regular play essentially the
player acts like they’re going one
direction before suddenly stopping and
spinning in the opposite direction
leaving the defender or goalie
completely out of position all the while
keeping the puck on their stick lead to
the middle of the sack
they can either make a pass to another
player or more commonly put the puck in
the empty net number two the alley-oop
the slam dunk is the most efficient
basketball shot and often draws a crowd
to its feet especially with all the
variations of the manoeuvre but we have
elected to go with the alley-oop for our
list the alley-oop ends with a slam dunk
but requires a pass beforehand this play
is so impressive because it requires two
players to be on the same page as the
passer needs to put the ball in the
right location while the player
receiving the pass has to time their
jump just right and then slam the ball
into the net before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions look at this goal from jr.
besides some oozing eyes top shelf it
was here that Cruyff provided us with a
truly unforgettable FIFA World Cup
moment
number one the bicycle kick a bicycle
kick to enjoy simply magical sometimes
called a scissors kick or an overhead
kick this move is accomplished by
throwing your body backwards into the
air and striking the airborne ball above
your head kicking it in the opposite
direction this maneuver can be used to
clear the ball away from a player’s own
goal or to strike the ball while
attempting to score because of the moves
high degree of difficulty it is rarely
seen during competitive play but when a
player is able to pull it off you can
bet you’ll be seeing it on highlight
reels for years and that is brilliant
