Everyone knows the music and production quality of this video is horrible; however, anyone who questions anything that Pete Maravich has to say about shooting is an absolute moron. His mustache rules. The fact that he still holds the record for NCAA scoring (at an average of 44 ppg) rules even more. A great example of a player who was ahead of his time.

i had the backspin when i was shooting lol and this weird kid that had never played basketball came up to me and said that if i didnt make it spin then i would make it in more often lol
@TheLeilisa No, you will not get taller but what alot of people think is that you have to be tall to be a great basketball player. That is totally incorrect. There is a 13 year old who is probably under 5 feet tall who schools just about everyone and can beat people who are a foot taller.
@dhiegocrap start knocking down 100 free throws then take a step back every day shoot a thousand from there, work out is another key start using ur legs when u shoot gives u power to get that range
dont listen to them. Try to get as much power out of your legs when u jump for the three. Make sure to jump upward, not towards the basket, because u change situation from which u shoot. Just keep practicing. How bad u want it?
WOW - This is exactly the other side of the most powerful tip I was given with regards to any sport.
"Get one hand between the shooters eyes and the rim." Blocking the shooters VISION with one hand while the other "pretended" to be blocking the shot - at my level of play the offense never figured it out. Makes sense even more from a defensive perspective now.
"ONE HAND BLOCKS SHOOTERS VISION" - now i have to teach my child.
I wonder whos a better shooter ands who method are better pete or Andy Enfield.who * Set the NCAA career free throw percentage record of 92.5% (431 of 466) from 1987 - 1991 * Made 941 consecutive free throws right handed * Made 172 consecutive free throws left handed * Made 96 out of 100 NBA 3 point shots * Beat Reggie Miller in a 3 point contest
stannecyo do you play basketball? you need to see this - 50inch vertical[dot]com. it s highly recommended! I m 5 7 and started dunking after 2 months of the program!
stannecyo I'm an awesome 5'6 black dude and I can easily dunk over people. Anyone can certainly do it, you just need to follow the right training program. I personally followed the 1 at "50inch vertical (dot) com" but just about any workout is fine if they work that is... lol
#VIDEOPOSTERID# I am only a 5'9 chinese kid and I am able to dunk easily. Anybody can easily do it, just use the right training program. I used the one over at (50 inch vertical [dot] com) but any training prog is fine if they work that is... lol
If you'd like to view a better and more efficient way of shooting, visit my youtube account or, better yet, visit my website, which can be found on my youtube account.
All of what he'd said is what I know already. He talks a little bit off on strength on the wrist that's why I watched this. I probably need to get my bench press up and lift heavy to actually at all shoot 3's with ease. I've read plyometrics for arms in Kelly Bagget site but it doesn't mention shooting actually.
This one guy I'm about to quote actually stalls properly:
You don't need strong arms or pecs for basketball. Shooting strength is 95% in your legs.
In fact, if you over-lift, you'll really screw up your shot. You can bench, 'n whatnot, but all in moderation. Never forgo shooting alongside weight-training ; it's highly detrimental.
@mattascular It depends on your form. If you do a jump shot a little bit higher than usual, you might not be able to transfer leg force quickly thereby needing the arm pec/ tricep strength.. Ex, try to jump as high as you can wile shooting on 3, hang then shoot the ball like you're shooting free throw(don't "force" the shot). You'll the difficulty increases!
Eh.. I don't think it depends on your form. :o I can almost pop it from high-school half-court without forcing it. I have a quick and high release, with high arc. It's off the dribble too. I think you just need to practice it. :D Weights are great (lifting's my 2nd hobby), but basketball shooting is almost purely finesse and skill.
@mattascular If you can shoot from half court(although it's high school) then it's strength.. On form, it's either you jump quick/low or you jump fairly beyond usual, hangs before you release, then you won't transfer force from your leg. It's on tricep:
@mattascular I'm not asking your high school playing. I forgot this video:
watch?v=WFo7h-x_m10
Again, I'm not saying you "force" the shot. The more strength in my arms it's just lighter and lighter on the shot and it's released easy if in great strength, in fact too much even when I hang.
I've posted the sitting half court shot with legs suspended on the ground, you can just try the difficulty of it and see if it's just "skill" btw..
Pistol Pete would lights out Kobe or Lebron in a shooting contest. This guy is a legend, a hall of famer, and a pretty darn good communicator. Pistol Pete, we miss you
In his prime Petey could've lights out Larry bird ;)
Watch his game against the New York Knicks where he scored 68 pts, with almost half his shots being from the 3 points line...But when he played there was NO 3 point line... Simply amazing
@grapesRawesome Please stop Pistol doesn't get up at 5 AM to do his workouts like kobe and if you think his shot is better than kobe's great, high, textbook release than you're poor

dis is some gay ass tips
if ya aim for d front of d rim ya will always hit it nd miss most times it ya pretend deres a imagenary square in d middle of d rim ya will score mre often try it nd ya will c :D
dude this guy is pistol pete.... do you even know who he is? if thats how he shoots then i am sure it works. if you like to do it some other way than good for you. these are not gay ass tips
i have way different shooting style then the guy in video. my shootin style is more like mike biiby. and one thing i want to say. never learn how to shoot basketball from somebody. try to find your own way.
@iDance1707 yeah before I found my shot, I was playing around with a lot of different shots by nba players. I tried Dirk nowitzki, Ray Allen, Derek Fisher, Rashard Lewis, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant. But it was inconsistent. Then I used some of their shots and adjusted it to fit my preferences. Now I'm more consistent.
Yeah, if you shoot the ball too high, then it have a higher chance of becoming an air ball. The trick is to make sure your fingers is pointed just a LITTLE above the rim after ur shot... that way, you'll have a perfect arch every time.
Does anybody know if it's alright if I bend my arm back but still keep it straight in? I.e, my forearm and upper arm are making about a 55 degree angle vs the 90 in this one. Should I change it, or just leave it?
someone gotta help me. i practiced my shot for about two years and people say i have good form but when i shoot it always hits the rim and bounces off and it doesnt go in too much.
Pete Maravich was a phenom in his day. These tips are from a guy hanging around in our gym draining 3's. He said, 1) Lock your elbow (Pete says freeze -- same thing) 2) Ball comes off the index and middle fingers last.
You do NOT have to square your feet up. In fact, turn your body and shoulders and feet as needed to square your ARM up, so that your arm from elbow to wrist is vertical and your arm from shoulder to elbow is aiming in the direction of the rim (not off to left or right!)
There's always gonna be people who don't give other teams respect, but I live in LA, and for the most part there's no genuine bad feelings for other teams...Look at how Utah boo'ed Derek Fisher after he left for the Lakers, or how sombody threw beer at Ron Artest.
It happens to a bunch of players man.. they just usually correct it. Try getting under your shot more (use more legs). You probably use your thumb to add a little extra strength.
this video is great...................now i am a 90 percent three point shooter............u need a lot of practice though...other kobe bryany and lebron james fan add me...............
ya, i do it too without realising especially at the 3 point line cuz sometimes i mite not hav enough power .. best thing to do is jus practice and get your shooting form right , try shooting one handed without a guide hand .
The thing that I work on doing a lot is forcing my hand away from my shooting hand. An easy way to practice this is to shoot one handed underneath a hoop and then holding your off hand near the ball in a straight line. It teaches your off hand to not effect your shooting hand and the ball because your off hand is only there to stabilize the ball.
I say this a lot on some of pistols shooting vids, he is right about the front of the rim, but in order to obtain proper arc, you need to imagine that the prongs on the bottom of the hoop are on top, and that you need to shoot OVER THEM. Therefore giving you proper arc and allowing you to hit the BACK OF THE RIM, becuase most people fall SHORT on their shots and this will help; however, it is all up to what you prefer and feel comfy with. Look at rick barry and free throws, just be comfy!!!
I learned to shoot well, at least I am not a fully developed shooter, but yes I did learn to aim for the front, I dont aim though, I just shoot without thinking haha!
why is backspin so important ?, my m8 shoots and it liike so retarded looks like he pushes the ball with 2 hands, but he still puts it in from the 3pt line.. i get nice backspin nice followthrough and my form is great, just can't put it in like he can
The backspin helps for an easier rebound. Your mate shoots with 2 hands because he can't get the power and accuracy by shooting an efficient way. THe way he does it is very easy to block.
backspin changes the wall the ball reacts after hitting the rim...usually making it bounce straight up and more likely to go in when you are a bit off target.......when you see someone get a "shooter's roll" or "shooter's bounce" that is due to the backspin they put on the ball..
do not watch this. Most of its not correct. Pete has a very low release point but was still a great player. You wanna learn correctly? Just watch JJ Redicks shot. His shot is perfect. And btw Pete got very little backspin. VERY LITTLE but still a great shooter. Just watch JJ if you want a perfect form.
lol,,, u min ur dick is small,,,,, Respect Pistol pete,,, hes way better than u,,,, u need to pratice thousand years before u can beat him,,,,,, terrific shooter, scorer and very unselfish player and good passer

someone gotta help me. i practiced my shot for about two years and people say i have good form but when i shoot it always hits the rim and bounces off and it doesnt go in too much.

Pete Maravich was a phenom in his day. These tips are from a guy hanging around in our gym draining 3's. He said, 1) Lock your elbow (Pete says freeze -- same thing) 2) Ball comes off the index and middle fingers last.
You do NOT have to square your feet up. In fact, turn your body and shoulders and feet as needed to square your ARM up, so that your arm from elbow to wrist is vertical and your arm from shoulder to elbow is aiming in the direction of the rim (not off to left or right!)

arch the ball more, aim up more.
maybe add more power to your shot

There's a difference between sucking and you just not liking them.

oh w8, i was wrong, Most LAKERS FAN suck, yeah, not the team.
playmakerzam 2 years ago
Suck at what?
DeftFlow 2 years ago
they suck because they don't give any respect mostly to other teams and fans. Most of them are band wagoners anyway
playmakerzam 2 years ago
There are bandwagoners for every team...and I have no idea what you are talking about saying they don't give other teams and fans respect.
DeftFlow 2 years ago
you have no idea? oh boy.
playmakerzam 2 years ago
There's always gonna be people who don't give other teams respect, but I live in LA, and for the most part there's no genuine bad feelings for other teams...Look at how Utah boo'ed Derek Fisher after he left for the Lakers, or how sombody threw beer at Ron Artest.

You are correct but I am talking about the internet, Most LAkers fans in the net have shitty attitudes and I doubt they live in LA>

Yo Joe,
It happens to a bunch of players man.. they just usually correct it. Try getting under your shot more (use more legs). You probably use your thumb to add a little extra strength.

my off hand thumb flicks the ball in my shot, other players shoot like that but it causes my ball to have a funny backspin, advice anyone?
joe2cool4mvp 2 years ago
ya, i do it too without realising especially at the 3 point line cuz sometimes i mite not hav enough power .. best thing to do is jus practice and get your shooting form right , try shooting one handed without a guide hand .
santanablocc15 2 years ago
The thing that I work on doing a lot is forcing my hand away from my shooting hand. An easy way to practice this is to shoot one handed underneath a hoop and then holding your off hand near the ball in a straight line. It teaches your off hand to not effect your shooting hand and the ball because your off hand is only there to stabilize the ball.

thx pistol pete
im so much better now thx man your my master lol
USERNAMEKLEMPTOR 2 years ago
I say this a lot on some of pistols shooting vids, he is right about the front of the rim, but in order to obtain proper arc, you need to imagine that the prongs on the bottom of the hoop are on top, and that you need to shoot OVER THEM. Therefore giving you proper arc and allowing you to hit the BACK OF THE RIM, becuase most people fall SHORT on their shots and this will help; however, it is all up to what you prefer and feel comfy with. Look at rick barry and free throws, just be comfy!!!

why is backspin so important ?, my m8 shoots and it liike so retarded looks like he pushes the ball with 2 hands, but he still puts it in from the 3pt line.. i get nice backspin nice followthrough and my form is great, just can't put it in like he can
MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt 2 years ago
The backspin helps for an easier rebound. Your mate shoots with 2 hands because he can't get the power and accuracy by shooting an efficient way. THe way he does it is very easy to block.
ResurrectShadowrun 2 years ago 5
backspin changes the wall the ball reacts after hitting the rim...usually making it bounce straight up and more likely to go in when you are a bit off target.......when you see someone get a "shooter's roll" or "shooter's bounce" that is due to the backspin they put on the ball..

do not watch this. Most of its not correct. Pete has a very low release point but was still a great player. You wanna learn correctly? Just watch JJ Redicks shot. His shot is perfect. And btw Pete got very little backspin. VERY LITTLE but still a great shooter. Just watch JJ if you want a perfect form.
