I edited a few sections to improve their readability. I don't think I removed anything important, but feel free to go over my edits and see if I did anything wrong. 72.200.136.66 18:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

For the two person game, perhaps we should just make a seperate page for basketball play. Pick and roll, give and go are plays. Wikipedia has a page for football tactics, I don't see why basketball cannot have one.

[edit] move definition formatting

It weirds me out that each mode is defined in the following format:

Jump is when the player compresses and then expands their legs in order to get off the ground.

It looks like the writing of someone who doesn't quite understand english. I haven't changed any from this format, for fear of stepping on toes, but I think they would look better if they started with the word "A". Anyone else with me?

I think moves are examples or variations of a skill. In general skills are broader than moves. For example, Dribbling, passing are example of skills (basic of the basics). But behind the back pass, finger roll, between the leg crossover are moves. The basketball player has good basketball skills to enable him to pull off good moves, agree? Thus, passes are not moves. They are basketball skills.

But I understand it is hard to draw the line between moves and skills. Any inputs?
