If your defender is guarding you closely, you can use the crossover to try to break the defender's ankles. The trick is to fake the defender when he thinks your going one direction, but you are really going the other. Another good ankle breaking crossover is the killer crossover. You do between the legs left or right and go the other direction quickly. There are other killer crossovers like the Tony Parker crossover, Allen Iverson crossover, Derrick Rose crossover with counter, and many others.

I recommend for you to go on YouTube and search killer crossovers it will really help:)

P.S. Twisting the defenders ankles will not break ankles

You might be jumping to get closer to the basket, and if you land in a bad position, you could break your foot. It's not likely, but it's not impossible.

What is a basketball shoe?

Basketball shoes are specific shoes meant to play basketball in. Most have grips on the bottom, so they 'squeak' on the gym floor. High tops are to help support your ankles. Low tops are meant to increase your speed and flexibility on the court. Most ball handlers use low tops for speed and flexibility to make cuts and drive past defenders. Most forwards and 'bigs' use high tops to protect ankles.
