Stealing the Euros moves
Nytimes has a nice article on some of the moves the NBA has introduced from Euor-roots. Most discussed is Ginoblli's direction switch two-step. Supprisingly, there is no mention of the flop.

Do Rudy or Batum use any of those mentioned?
'Sean Marks, Patrick Mills, and Luke Babbitt made like the three wise men, coming late to the party having followed the stars and bringing gifts of an assist, a turnover, and a personal foul.'

That is a pretty good article with some good links.
I’m pretty sure Andre Miller has all of these moves in his bag of tricks and then some. People call it old school because ‘Dre IS getting older but I think he is just very skilled and keeps adding to his bag. Nash is the same way. Deception and setting people up for the play (either his teammate or the defense) are their keys to success. Roy has a lot of this in his game as well. He is just going to have to dig a little deeper into the bag and keeping watching how ’Dre stays effective even without a jumpshot. If Brandon added in a little of ’Dre’s post up game and paint game, he’ll remain a significant contributor for a long time.
Thanks for the link!
