Dre Baldwin: How To Shoot A Basketball Jumpshot | Kobe Bryant Workout NBA Shooting Mechanics Tips

[MrVershawn123]

hey dre how do you control your strength for shooting

[MrBanaanish]

Hello dre does it affect my shooting in the game if i shoot the ball on 9.5 ft hoop instead of a 10 ft hoop

[dreupt]

@MrBanaanish you tell me

[2237MIchael]

Hello Dre! I have a little question for you >>>I practice on my own basketball hoop but it is like 9 ft, when I shoot I'm making it but when I shoot on the 10 ft hoop I miss. Is that reason why I miss or not??? TNX

[dreupt]

@2237MIchael how can i tell u why u miss dude... practice on a 10ft court and see

[ChengDonald]

Heyy Dre, I can't seem to shoot a jumpshot outside of the paint. Anywhere passs the freethrow line, i'll have to do a set shot. Does this mean i have to bulk up and get stronger? I would like to be able to get lift on my shot from anywhere on the floor.

[dreupt]

@ChengDonald it means u need to practice the skills you lack i have plenty of vids and Hoop handbooks on all of this

[axcvbh]

how do i shoot straighter ？any tips ？

[dreupt]

Looks like you're in front of a green screen.

[xbringyourboardx]

hey dre, i've been working hard shooting every day and my mid range has improved a ton. the biggest problem ive been having is when I get into a pick up game im not shooting in "my form". i just butcher my normal shooting form and make a lot less than im capable of. any tips for me?

[dreupt]

@xbringyourboardx play in more games and practice more

[MaricoL13]

[dreupt]

@EMPRODUCTIONS2010 no

[MaricoL13]

good that i found this because my 3's have been a little off and i tried going to the free throw but it doesn't work...but then i figured out why...because i keep losing my rhythm...i have to get the ball myself and shoot and i noticed i've been off...so i have my friend who will help me stay on rhythm..

thanks for tips on focusing the target, and follow through...gonna work on it immediately!

[dreupt]

@MaricoL13 ur welcome

[TheLostCityFilms]

My Freinds a PowerForward/ Center Right now going to Freshmen Year. He needs tips so He could Try to Be a Josh Smith PF/ SF any tips....Handles and can you give him Drills to help his shooting....Thanks Anyone

[dreupt]

@TheLostCityFilms look at my vids it's all here. Josh Smith jumps 40" in the air so ur friend needs to be himself

[seeyousaturday]

i shoot more than 50% in a game. but my coach told me to learn jump shots. u know where u have those hang time. does it really does anything to defender guarding you or is it just for style.

[dreupt]

@seeyousaturday ask the coach, he said it

[TaeNyFan]

Hey everyone just to share how I improve my shooting:

Practice at the free throw line whenever u loses your rhythm. Always take note of the follow-through by bending your knees and also make sure the ball falls off your fingertips. Trust me, when your free throw improves, your shooting improves haha. Ray Allen taught me that in a video :P

[XxxSLOBONxxX]

@TaeNyFan me to hahaha !!!!

[CodyMayers]

Dre, u rep Duke? lol

[dreupt]

@CodyMayers no, just a shirt

[RS358]

I can already shoot, but this gave me confidence. People say I shoot wrong but I score at a high FG%. Thanks a lot Dre.

[dreupt]

@RS358 ur welcome

[ohiostates28]

Thank u so much, all of your videos have helped my game so much now im being looked at by most georgia colleges thanks to u!!!

[dreupt]

@ohiostates28 you're welcome and congrats

[yurgenzen]

What means follow through? You see I'm Chilean, I know english but I don't know what means follow through. Please somebody respond

[BasketballHR]

@yurgenzen its when you leave your hands up until the ball drops in like in a shot at the end.

[Rahulrocks1569]

Just wondering, When you go to the NBA what team do you want to play for?

[dreupt]

@Rahulrocks1569 any team

[EMPRODUCTIONS2010]

@dreupt are you in the nba draft?

[1amDav1d]

Hey man, when I shoot I seem to be shooting with 2 hands. No rotation and seem like I'm pushing the ball in rather than actually shooting. It's more of a habit and the fact my hands are smaller that I don't think I can guide it with the tips of my fingers. It's also inconsistent, I can have hot/cold streaks. Should I really ditch my shooting style or does shooting the textbook way really make a difference?

[dreupt]

@1amDav1d ur hand size is no matter. dont let that be an excuse. practice the form that yuo want to have, then do it over and over.

[randynick101]

@1amDav1d hey man i had the same problem i found that i was releasing too high and i changed the rotation by keeping my elbow in, it feels strange at first but you get used to it and it will get better

[kckillacity]

i use BEEF

Balance

Elbow

Eyes

Follow Through

[dreupt]

@kckillacity cool

[flyerrr911]

Dre has perfect form!!! Can u make a vid about just ur form

[dreupt]

[torkomen]

[dreupt]

[TheHILvin]

[CazouS]

[dreupt]

@Nagafai just make the shot.

[vtwzy]

I quickly fatigue in games and my shot is gone. I shouldn't bother to shoot in games.

[MsWestcoast27]

Thanks for the information

[TheRaa91]

Hi Dre.

Can you make a video on how to do a shot hesitation?

I've seen players like John Wall and Tyreke Evans do it but i cant figure it out..

[dreupt]

@TheRaa91 search my name + what ur looking for

[Grush5]

@TheRaa91 i kno wat ur talking about!!! i wonder wat that move is called

[paki123]

[meiktrike]

[dreupt]

@meiktrike only way.

[WheresmyCucumber]

Hey Dre, appreciate the video, but I have a question. For the past month I've been practicing shooting for 4-5 hours a day at lifetime fitness. In the past 3 days something has gone wrong, the ball does not get the reverse spin it used to get when I shot and it just flies flat and bounces around in the rim. How can I change this? Did I possibly overwork my shooting muscles? thanks

[dreupt]

@WheresmyCucumber keep practocng

[NBAfan1993]

@dreupt lol nice answer.

[Kadeswitchengage]

ok i think i get you, but how do you help improve your depth perception and accuracy?

[dreupt]

@Kadeswitchengage practice

[hamoonmehran]

what do yo mean when u say balance? feet placement?

[dreupt]

@hamoonmehran look up the definition of balance.

[stayballinonem]

a yo nice vid do u have a video on crossovers?? i need to work on mine

[dreupt]

it is coming.

[Rated10STARz]

hey dre what do you mean if you dont have enough rep?

[Remvasion]

@Rated10STARz He means you have to continue to shoot and shoot over and over again, like shoot thousands of shots each day :)

[dreupt]

yeah

[dreupt]

repetitions, meaning shooting a lot of shots in practice.

[donxcore]

dre what about strength from the legs?

[dreupt]

what about it

[donxcore]

How do you increase your shooting range. I heard that shooting all comes from your leg? can ou make a video showing how?

[dreupt]

practice shooting a bit further back, slowly moving back till you get where u wanna be

[jman135551]

okay thanks man might b awhile tho til i move ya know but ill deffinetly give ya a hollar for sure man i like miami better than tennessee anyway

[dreupt]

[jman135551]

[dreupt]

[LowRider220]

i can't wait to see you in the nba! your a very positive player and thanks for the helpful videos :)

[dreupt]

thanks! and no prob

[174HB]

Dre, what do you think of a player like Reggie Miller?

[dreupt]

what about him? Hall Of fame player

[23nextkobe]

Just a tip...

until recently i have been an extremely good shooter. but i never made my free throws.

so i went to my coach (who was an 80 % 3 point shooter and asked him what was wrong with my shot.

he told me that u have to see the ball when u shoot it - try to put the ball above your head instead of next to it.

so, i tried that, and the results were amazing- i made lyk 30 in a row before missing. tat was three weeks ago. Now, after puttin thereps in, i havent missed in practice.

[dreupt]

if it works for you, great!

[CroninStacey1993]

have u ever played in Australia?

[dreupt]

never even been there. i would love to though

[theprofessor23]
