NBA News: John Wall's 'Yo-yo Dribble' Stuns Peers; Damian Lillard Says It's Hard To Do

A new dribble introduced by John Wall is making waves in the NBA right now.

The Washington Wizards point guard featured the new dribble move during a game against the Chicago Bulls as posted by one YouTube user in a video. The move involves Wall making a fake pass to a teammate using one hand but the secret is in the amount of force placed in the backspin, which actually causes the ball to bounce once towards the direction of the teammate then roll back to Wall, based on a report by Yahoo! Sports.

The returning nature of the ball earned it the name "yo-yo dribble" because it actually spins away then back to the dribbler's hand.

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard said in the same report that Wall's move was difficult to do and even he could not do it.

However, Lillard said about the yo-yo dribble, "I came to the gym and tried it and realized how hard it was. I was like, I ain't even gonna mess with it."

According to Lillard, Wall was not the first player to perform the move. He reportedly saw Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving and Jeff Teague of the Atlanta Hawks do the same move earlier.

When asked about the yo-yo dribble, Teague claimed that he did it before Wall in the same Yahoo! Sports report. Teague joked, "I did it first, I gotta tell John to quit taking my move."

Teague said that he has been doing the yo-yo dribble since his college days in 2008. Teague added, "He's trying to say it was his. I have a problem with that."

Meanwhile, SB Nation reported that Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul have tried the move and discovered that it was not very difficult to control. According to Paul, if he whipped his hand under the ball, he can create enough backspin to let the ball bounce back easily to him.

Paul said in the same SB Nation report, "They were switching the balls to a different material, where I could actually throw it out away, really far from me and it can still come back."

On his part, Wall didn't claim inventing the move saying in the same SB Nation report, "I'm not going to say it's mine. I just used it."

Most recently, 2015 Sprite Slam Dunk champion Zach LaVine also performed the dribble during the Rising Stars Challenge at the NBA All-Star Weekend in New York City.
