Basketball Shooting 1 (The Setup)

[gptexas15]

Works .Tried it and it works !

[t00b3a5t]

Thumbs up if you learned how to shoot from this man.

[jpaul8741]

This really works..i swear

[Hilariousshow4you]

the thing is whit me is tat i am an ok shhoooterr but i dont have a consistent jump shot....i change it alot and i really want to have just 1 jumpshot which i would stick 2 and get better at it

[pitbull0592]

@Hilariousshow4you i have th esame problem bro i jus changed it from shooti from my chest to trying to release a little over my head.... making a sort of window frame with my elbows and try to straighten my elbows

[nola17900]

Thanks to you i am a killer- shooter.Thank you wherever you are.

Greetings from Hellas(Greece)!

[23kingwilson]

Damn if only i could watch the great pistol pete in HD.That would be awsome

[TheBoiFlip]

i always look back at these videos when im having trouble wit hmy shot

[CyJoZa]

@TheBoiFlip Same. Alot of the time I know what I am doing wrong, like not keeping my arm straight, or letting the ball fly from my ring finger and thumb rather than index, but watching the vids always confirms it.

[gricius]

after these drills, people started calling me a shooter, though I never used to be one

[scm1970]

@HBazsi: I remember reading a Larry Bird iview where he said that if you're making shots, then stick to what you're doing, no matter how weird or unconventional it might look. I've done that with kids I've coached. I have some kids with really weird looking releases, but as long as they're getting that arc and not just flinging up the ball, and consistently making their shots, I've left them alone. As for the others who have poor technique AND do not make shots, I try to correct technique.

[BazhoFromTheHood]

@stannecyo delete this video and all pistol pete videos , have respect for him , let people buy his videos , not watching on youtube

[Crossover3king]

i dont fucking get it im the best in our basketball team i started last week and they didn't put me in first 5

[ringaming]

@Crossover3king why are you telling us this? but if you really want to know this is why: maybe they want you as a sixth man... kevin mchale was a great player, he was a sixth man with the celtics... or maybe you're just too confident

[LakersFTW1]

this guy is great, he taught people how to play and fundementals, you don't see that alot, mad respect

[qeqfe]

lol he looks weak as hell but sure better than most ppl

[Dontcallmetimtam]

he looks like a serial killer

[gohavesomepie]

good vid but a little too "textbook", finding something that has comfort is much more important, kobe bryant breaks many of pete's "rules" and he is recognised as one of the greatest shooters ever

[HBazsi]

@gohavesomepie You're right from one perspective. But AT FIRST you have learn how to shoot according to the rules. SECOND, you have to shoot a zillion times in that way. And THEN, if you have every single piece of the techique together and right, you can break the rules.

[gohavesomepie]

@HBazsi good point

[QuaLiTySniiPer]

really really boring

[89ilovethisgame]

Oh yes pistol pete!

[vibrantrokrfan24]

Cool vid

[123Combine]

I want Kobe Bryant do lesson for his shooting form like Pete Maravich did :)

[MrHoop503]

6 year old pure shooter - Basketball

[alexej110687]

[X619mysterio]

[Gold187Gster]

I have a small pair of hands, i struggle to grip the ball properly, how can |i overcome this problem?

[JET3182]

@Gold187Gster Get some meaty hands

[Stealth955]

what do you mean exactly

[CApacUhInO]

how olds the video

[himanshu46482]

thanx for the tips man its working

[jejemonkiller21]

thanks for the teaching's

[lilcrazyaznboy]

I'm not going to let a pornstar teach me how to play basketball.

[Gunsmith2584]

@lilcrazyaznboy Well,he did look kind of similar to John Holmes.

[flavordooky]

This video tutorial is great. At 1st I thought it was lame because the video looked old, but after watching and watching his videos I make my shot 99% of the time.

[estenx4]

Great Intro!

[Eljefe3g]

Wack

[doomsy]

I'd rather have an old school white man with a mustache teaching me basketball fundementals over a black man ANYDAY.

[19AnDrEw19]

@doomsy Only if the old school white man is Pistol Pete lol

[MrGuitartutorials]

@doomsy your a racist man

[doomsy]

@MrGuitartutorials it's racist to prefer pistol pete over a black guy? not really i just like pistol pete more.

[loonaya]

everything is great, i'm just not sure about the index finger? i thought that the middle one is the last one on the ball

[yonggary]

@loonaya yea it is.. cos your hand is naturally aligned like that:)

[KingOfCod9988]

ive watched MANY videos

I remember closing this video when i first saw it

Dont judge a video by how old the video is

THANKS

[Samurai3541]

I'll try his teaching and practice it..

[SportsGamerMan]

Every time I miss now I'm like "cmon now, like Pistol Pete" !

[BullshitsMike]

R.I.P Pete Maravich. #1 Division I scorer

@BabexiGenieaa206 I will haha

[CallOfDutyAssKicker]

what did shawn marion not understaand in this video?

[SportsGamerMan]

@CallOfDutyAssKicker lmao. I know right. When I think of ugly shots I think of Shawn Marion.

[b4Db0Yxx]

Can't twist my palm like that. The space between the index finger and middle finger is not in the middle of my face and the gap that you have where the palm doesn't touch the ball is not perpendicular with my upper arm (biceps).

[Cliffbrock]

Thanks Pete. R.I.P.

[Nagafai]

1:32 stop fingering the ball!

[dnicks132]

how old is this video

[judoandpeace]

Miss you Pete, thanks for this.

Judo nation salutes you.

[Robinqq11]

4:46 "comfortibility"

[sexykatie90]

stannecyo my msn in profile! Basketball Shooting 1 (The Setup)

[mikeo4283]

literally, im going to be god at threes now

[TheLeilisa]

Who is the tallest basketball player?

[AlexanderRight]

Pistol Pete is like Larry Bird. They look nothing like basketball players but they can sure as hell ball you up.

[wickedskillz101]

@AlexanderRight damn skippy man those fools will put it to you

[datresspasser]

@AlexanderRight you know 'cept larry is bout 6'8"-6'9"

[helpogrowth]

I have free grow taller secrets....

Watch my videos.

[062988932]

"literally i spent thousand upon thousands of hours in a gym just like this, the only sound i ever heard was the cracking of the floor, the echo of the rafters, it was an exciting time of my life LOL"

[AlexanderRight]

Pete never "looked" like a basketball player but he was one of the best. Shame, he died so young.

[jimyjoe76]

applies to me except the opposite, i hold it with left and support with right

[Cierrs456]

looks like the old sex ed video my pe teacher showed us

[TheLeilisa]

are you short, do you wanna grow taller ?

Here is the solution " Helpo Growth Formula "

[bellbp]

Man I do hours of basketball shooting practice quite a bit and Pistol Pete seriously knows what he is talking about. Even though I think I am a good shooter he is so well at attacking the many problems that I struggle with. He has it down to a Science. This is probably the best shooting instructions I have ever received.

[supremoandres]

My highest respect to Sir Pete. He shows this video to help young shooters to be in consistent form. We all know we can shoot the ball in any way we are comfortable, but as he calls it - these are the mechanics. It helps us to improve our consistency on shooting the ball. Remember, he's one of the highest scorers in his time though he doesn't dunk. -RIP Pistol Pete

[frozone93m]

dragonsummon1.. first u got to learn how to write basketball .. stupid mofo /rude

[Dragonsummon1]

BASKET BALL FOR DUMMIES x)

[FlashDwade18]

@Dragonsummon1 you is high son

[TheGrowingBoy1]

i like shooting with my elbows a little bent >.<

[kube253]

he looks like jeff foxworthy

[SuperJTthunder]

no one rests the ball on their finger pads anymore. not elite shooters that i know of. i have no problem with this way, tho. it works just as well.

[TheKimboslice11]

he has the ugliest form of shooting why the hell is he teaching

[MisterBinx]

@TheKimboslice11 Because he averaged 40 PPG in college.

[TheKimboslice11]

@MisterBinx so that means nothing about shooting thats just cuz he is a scorer that has nothing to do with why he is teaching shooting.

[MisterBinx]

@TheKimboslice11 He didn't get good at scoring by dunking. It has everything to do with his jump shot.

[modernway91]

@MisterBinx ,@TheKimboslice11. There is no real right way to shoot. But the most important is that your comfortable with your shot and you can shoot it consistent. Look at Reggie Miller. Topshooter, but his technique isn't textbook.

[sike36822]

@modernway91 HOW

[sike36822]

@sike36822 THE HCK

[shaigy23]

@TheKimboslice11 how is his form ugly????



[emiltsuimunsang]

that's the most useful video in youtube

[AresXIVX]

a lot of you young mothafuckers don't know who pistol is..go watch his highlights.

~legend.

[fafkdl1lt]

Great video, helped me a lot

[chargaftbal21]

thankyou this video helped me so much

[MrReggie2319]

pure shooter

[YoNevNo]

what and how would it be different if you shoot the ball or push the ball? I mean i watch closely nba stars like kobe, ray allen, melo, durant, etc., and they all 'push' the ball with elbows sticking out. But they're highest percent shooters in the nba.

[DaredeviIGR]

@YoNevNo Sometimes , it doesn't matter how right you shoot the ball or throw it , call it whatever you like , but how much you believe in the success of your shot , your power of will . Personally i believe that a good shot has to unite many things in their perfect form . Things like skill , practise , technique , mental state (how decisive you are) and many others .

[josejoe123]

he,s shooting is perfect

[edwingray3521]

stannecyo damm, I improved over 14 ins on my leap by completing the workout over at 50inch vertical[dot]com. now being outrebounded is something I don't have to worry about in a game now, haha

it was a good vid...i'm practicing all day.

[threezy350]

thanks to pistol pete, i can now dunk from the foul line. thank you so much :)

[nbadraft08]

guys i could barely reach the rim outside of 19 feet before these videos. i was good at midrange, but not from deep. the key is to actually change ur mechanics and not be stubborn. as long as u put ur time at the gym, u will become a good shooter. i can hit big time from deep now.

do it.

[immortal1technique1]

ima a cold blooded shooter now...follow thru is the most importsnt thing to do look at any great shooter like channing frye

[hameed]

channing frye, yea...people regard him as a great shooter

[chingading]

@ilovebasketball124 If you knew all of this, you would be averaging around 44 points a game in college and that's without the three point line.  Even if you think you know this, you should listen to the master, Pete Maravich.

[NekysAcherontios]

lol thats just so not true xD

if it was only technique then everyone would be a pistol XD

it takes a lot more than just technique to be a legend

[chingading]

@NekysAcherontios you make an excellent point my friend. =]

[coltrms]

@NekysAcherontios , exactly... practice, practice, practice and more practice.

But yeah good point though

[jdjuliabebs]

with your teaching i became a 3 point shooter

[Tia692]

same here with me jdjuliabebs

[coltrms]

@jdjuliabebs , you got that right

[RaGInBaLLeR23]

i just noticed dats pistol pete

[sam44th]

nice vid

[horaiyo]

Great video series.

[RobDFrizzle]

Getting a lil' nasty i see pete 1:26

[DwyaneWadeCounty]

haha funny

[LSUBOY14]

YOUR A PERVERTED IDIOT!!!!!!

[RobDFrizzle]

I WAS YOUNG AND STUPID!

[LSUBOY14]

maybe u should become a christian like me

[stifflol]

This video is actually brilliant. Every young player (and older ones!) should watch this. RIP Pistol. Total legend.

[schoolcraftboooooooy]

dis how ppl shoot in da 80 man everybody got a different form look at shawn marion

[SILK334]

thats true but the last time i checked shawn marion couldnt shoot to save his life

[loonaya]

@SILK334 mario is a very good shooter, just an ugly one :)

[vatsacycle]

@SILK334 hes a 80 percent career ft shooter

[ngeks]

actually i wouldnt mind. . . as long as i cud just shoot the ball. . . tsk3

[mrkman20]

thank you for gads sake 5/5

[chubbychaserrr]

i am a great basketball player i have been noticed by many scouts but what they all tell me is i need a better shot they told me im quick also that i can drive in perfectly and i have great ball control can anyone give me tips technqiues and drills to hellp me please??

[jmk0309]

lmao how did a basketball video turn into slavery Psh people

[DallyTown]

Nice!!!!!

[miqbal717]

I have to agree, my shots way better with the middle on the middle.

[hotchilly1122]

for some reason i feel my shot is worse when i put my index finger in the middle and its better when i put my middle finger in the middle any thoughts?

[carterclone070]

yeahh me too... i shoot way better when i put the middle finger in the middle!

[sarmoti0809]

same here man, i thought it was because i have a small handspan that minne wasnt working, maybe the same for you

[Sav24Star]

As long as you got the mechanics down you are going to be missing them because probably your not used to it. If you keep practicing get that repition going. You will get used to it and shot will then begin to fall down.

[kenjiro72]

thank you

[Shazane01]

i know wat u mean you have to practice but i do. alot! but i never really new the right way to shoot until i looked at the videos and i must say if i saw this one first it would of saved me alot of time and more time to practice

[BEYONDILIMIT]

amazing!!! knows his stuff this is one of the best tutorials of all!

[NikeAllstar42]

Ive got a problem here.i know there is no right way to shot the basketball,but my shooting form is like an rashard lewis and im 5"6.Any help on that?

[ericsoe001]

Yeah same problem here!!

But they say Its difficult to block this kind of shot.

[tghetto5]

Oh, I have a pretty nice form watch my video "The perfect form 2" or "lakers take game 1" Laker fans only please..

2-0 lakers btw.

ps. Lakers.

[mohsins23d]

there is no right way to shoot a basketball... but he teaches u how to do the correct FORM

[jmk0309]

@mohsins23d There are fundamentals for a reason.

[thomasgubaton19]

WOW. very cool lessons!!Thanks for posting this

[bellbp]

Wow Pistol Pete really knows what he's doing. I watched these videos and practiced my shot today and it has improved dramatically by following his instructions. Thanks for posting this video stannecyo. :)

[fernandezjefferson]

Pete the genuis shooter

[xmapleslayer]

Come on, lets stop all these hustle about different sports. Its just why they made the Olympics... each sport is intertwined to another in a certain way, so why don't we just respect each other as sportsmen?

Anyway, love pistol pete ;) R.I.P the legend of my heart

[eugeneet]

how many time do we train a day?

[yowhatitis47]

interesting Pistol Pete grew up in Clemson, South Carolina

[borout]

i dont think so black people much stronger

[Gocavs1990]

lol like all black people are stronger than all white people. You must be crazy, look at snoop dogg for example he's skinny as hell

[oO5Oo]

You can jump what ever your skin color is ...

[mavster]

what does it actually mean when they say shoulders should be square to the ring? please elaborate. does it mean your body should completely face the ring when you shoot?

[mrmasta50]

yeah thats what it means

like this O (rim)

-- --(your shoulders)

[mavster]

ok gotcha, thanks buddy

[alawoo01]

it acually should be more like this. O

-- --

he showed the left side off you want to be squarely faced off at the rim. on the three point line if you place your feet perfect with that line your squared off with the rim perfectly.

[windmilljam]

I think that is not relevant if the body faces to the ring when you shoot.

When you shoot your shoulders should be on the same level of hight. Not one up and the other down. Both shoulders are down. They are down when you have exhaled before shooting. This also makes your body stable, which is important when you shoot.

[nobodylikesutube]

Recently I've been releasing the ball of my middle and ring fingers. I want to revert to my old way of releasing off the index finger because i used to be a 93%FG shooter when open and now I can hardly scrape 65%. Is this because my elbow is sticking out.

[windmilljam]

There is a exercise to make your technique as it should be.

You should stand almost under the basket and shoot only with one hand. 10 times right and 10 times right. All shots must score and only through the ring and not through the board.

It is all technique and not pushing the ball hard. The shots are smooth. The reason why you stand close to the rim and shoot with one hand is that you can only use technique. Use this before every practise or game.

[montasmob69]

it does not matter if u r white or black to be a good basketball player. To be perfectly honest, the best play to improve ur game is to run track and cross country and master the fundementals. If u have great skills and great stamina, u will be better than 90% of the people u face. There will be points where athletic ability takes over, but with true commitment, u can get stronger and faster.

[goldenstateketchup]

i agree... being more athletic and stronger actually makes you more skilled.

[Anthonydp]

you got to be an idiot if you think the color of someones skin determines how good of shooter you will be

[PSDproductions4]

i agree

because black people have a "tougher" build since their ancestors had to endure the injustice of slavery, opposed upon them by us, doesn't mean they dont have to learn to shoot like white people do.

shooting is like lifting weights, you only get better if you practice

[stevejohnnash21]

-____- slavery and any other prejuduice and discriminations have absoultly nothing to do with the talent of someone its your work ethics and how hard you want it and you basketball iq and most of all you willingness and mindset not whether your grandmother wasa slave or shit

[tycoon121]

lol,i have to shoot shoot 13.

[pspquest]

Watch all the video's it really helps.

[Thesomeone7]

people are so racist these days
