English translation:fake
Explanation:
Ako je košarka, to je onda to 200%.

Npr - Faking – Most times successful fakes create shots. Your fakes must look real often incorporating ball fakes, shot fakes, foot fakes, head fakes or eye fakes

Kod nas se uglavnom koriste izrazi - finta šuta, finta telom, finta glavom, finta dodavanjem, finta loptom...

Za fudbal ne znam, ali mislim da je osnovno značenje isto.

Fintirati nekog - to fake somebody (out of his shoes - ako je baš naseo)

During Swaggy P's summer basketball camp, he decided to play some one-on-one with a few of the kids in attendance. Young wasn't prepared for the kid to fake him out underneath the basket to score the easy bucket.

Nasesti na fintu je "to bit on the fake":

But Miami would not need any more chances. Glenn admitted afterward that he bit on the fake. When he realized what was happening, Ingram was already past him. Glenn wheeled, slipped, never looked back and never recovered. Marino underthrew the ball. Ingram, who was already in the end zone, stepped back and caught the game-winner as Glenn raced past him.

dummy


Explanation:
Definitely a "dummy" in UK English.

E.g.

"Great dummy by Mitic, despite the bandaged head he beats 2 Brazilian defenders and sets it up for Skoblar to score the winner against Brazil. Yugoslavia lead the hosts 3-2 at the Maracana in the 1950 World Cup.............."

neutral  Daryo: Rajko Mitić and the Maracana in the 1950 World Cup?? "Definitely a "dummy" in UK English" yes, surely the English from the fifties (just about 60 years ago...) anything from the current century?

  -> Yes, just last night I played 5 a-side and dummied a defender only to nearly break my own ankle! Ended up in A&E.
agree  Mira Stepanovic: dummy - lažna namera; 'lažnjak', finta; shoulder dummy - finta ramenom; dummy turn - lažni okret, finta okreta; ref. EN-SR-EN Football A-Z, Dr. Miroljub Stojković

  -> Slažem se, ako je u pitanju košarka: http://www.sportsdefinitions.com/basketball/Fake.html Fake (Sport: Basketball) When a player pretends to make one move but actually makes another to trick an opponent. Similar to a dummy in soccer. :-)
