Best Answer

Knees bent with your butt low, hands up and out to the sides ready to go for the ball. You should be able to shuffle step and change direction easily. When playing defense, you should keep one hand in the passing lane between your player and the player who has the ball to be ready cut off a pass. You should always be able to see the ball and your player.

A basketball stance is called a defensive stance.The proper stance can be done by first bending your knees so you are close to the ground. Make sure your back is straight, but your knees are bent.One hand is pointing towards two o'clock (pretend a clock is in front of you) and is out to the right (or left, depending on which way you are moving). This hand is meant to intercept the passing lane. The other hand is "digging" between your legs. This is for stealing a ball.
