If you're looking to score, when you drive and go up for the shot make sure you keep your body in between you and your defender. Lift your elbows up and pull your arms back over your head while you're in the air so that when you and your defender jump at the same time, he won't be able to get his hands on the ball. Keep the ball in your hands when you're elevating and only shoot when you're on your way down. No matter how tall or how high your defender jumps, he won't be able to increase his altitude when he's also his way down.
If you're looking to create opportunities for others on your team, you can also drive straight into the big man and get his attention. When he commits to blocking your shot, pass it off to a nearby teammate. It would almost guarantee your teammate an easy bucket.

Initiate the contact- You must not go in weak! You have to go strong to the hole. You must get off of the ground while you are doing this. You need to turn the shoulder of the arm that you DO NOT plan on shooting with toward the defender. That way, you can keep your body between the ball and the defender.
Be ambidextrous- You must be able to use both hands equally well in the lane. If you are facing in the basket on the right side of the rim you should use your right hand. If you are facing in the basket on the left side of the rim you should use your left hand.
"Recoil"- When you finally do make contact with the primary defender bring your knees in and brace your upper body for contact.

Use the rim as protection(ie. reverse)...also a pump fake is a good idea, most big men who like to block can not resist the temptation of biting on the pump....last but not least go up STRONG!!! dont be afraid...if it is a real game with refs most times you will get the foul or at the very least you will earn the big man's respect!

Learn a tear drop shot so you can float it over his head and drop it in without having to drive all the way to the hoop and get packed. Or learn stop and pop jump shot.
Best way to learn is watch someone about your size and ability that can drive past big men and learn their teqnique and practice what you see them do.
Thats how I learned to play by watching good players and copying their moves.

in case you in elementary words were given previous your guy and yet another comes over to %. you up, then PLAY BASKETBALL and pass on your open teammate. There should be one as 2 are guarding you. if you're attracted to scoring then you definately are not attracted to basketball.

Learn how to pass. If they're playing man and the big guy is coming off his guy to defend you, your teammate is going to be open.
Sometimes being acrobatic, or pump faking until eternity just kills the offense.

Go in under control, and develop a high arc tear drop shot, ie Tony Parker.
