there's two families of variations for basketball spin: first is the regular one with the reverse and basically just spinning it to land in one slot (between to fingers). Second is to use spin transfer and make spin over several different fingers before landing. The actual number of different variations is not very important, but the different concepts are.

Putting two emoticons like that does not let us know enough to help you. If you did not understand the information that zombo gave, then tell us, and tell us what you do not understand.

As for sisscor spin, this trick is hard to explain, but it is easy to do nonetheless.

it is not done with handmotion, but actually with the help of a slight middlefinger push. The indexfinger is used for postitioning. And if you are starting sisscorspin right, having your ringfinger keep the pen horizontal will help you with the middelfinger push.

the middlefinger should end underneath your thumb, or touch it.

I've always viewed Scissor Spin as a finger push. The push comes from moving the Index and Middle fingers away from each other. If you have not done so already, check out the Scissor Spin article with my kick-ass photos. There is a step-by-step that talks a bit about the forces that move the pen.
