Some players can learn this move just by reading it and others need to watch it to properly learn it. A complete video description of this finishing move can be found here: Euro Step/Side Step Drill Progression 1: Two Steps - No Dribble

Details

• You simply take the jab step and the side step. As you get the footwork down, then you want to focus on long, explosive steps. In a way, this is a progression within a progression.
• Note, this is a travel. However, it's used just as a progression to help you learn the footwork.
• Progression 2: Euro Step - Add Dribble
• Now, you practice adding the dribble to the Euro Step move. You start a step or two inside the 3-point line depending on the age of the player.
• Progression 3: Euro Step from 3 Point Line
• Now, you have the players back up and use the move from the 3-point line.
• Some Additional Tips:
• Add this little progression - After progression 1 and before progression 2, you can also squeeze in a progression where the players only take two steps like in a progression 1. However, you add the dribble.
• Practice from all angles and distances - Once you can execute the footwork, practice this move from different angles and distances all over the half court. Since the amount of dribbles and distance that you jump from can change each time during the game, it's very important to do this.
• If the defender recovers or the help defense steps up further, you can use a change of direction move. This will use the defender's momentum against them and give you a lane to attack the basket.
