Basketball - Shooting Fundamentals

[bukfan]

you're a bunch of scumbags. If you're going to learn a sport, you have to start pretty young, or you'll never be any good. This guy isn't a pedophile, he's trying to teach a young kid about shooting. If you wait till you're 16 to learn these skills, you're way too late. You need to start learning and practicing as early as 7-8 years old. Some kids are already good players by the time they're 12, and being recruited for high school teams. You might think you're funny, but you're not.

I wonder which is more helpful this 50 year old pedofile with a little girl or ray allen

[WomenAreRamen]

@cb4allstar4 No I wonder if niggers are more pedophile than ray allen but logical fallacy since himself was.

[jasonsokhom]

olivia is the next michael jordan

[SpeedPastYou]

i can make any shot from the free throw in, in front of the arc, no errors in stroke...ut i die on the three. i am strong but kind of skiny, and have trouble hoisting thhe ball accurately. help?

[yaya2295]

keep the same form, but have good eye contact, and

USE YOUR LEGS

most young players can't seem to grasp the idea of using the legs.

your arm strength does not matter, really.

use your legs to propel yourself upward and follow through.

[anmali]

just to add more to what yaya said below ..when you use your leg power to get that lift make sure you extend one of your legs first (right leg first if you are a right hander or vice versa) , bend down and go up in the air or take that lift while shooting a long range jumper or a 3 pointer kinda like when you make a normal jump .keep practicing till u feel comfortable with that FORM.. remeber FORM is the most important thing shots will fall if your technique is correct.

[Angelag1502]

Nice to meet you Olivia!

[RookyWolf]

Yo brooks you defiantly know what ur talking about.

[rozario4]

just saying waht he said=Shooting is control,it's your legs not how big your arms are...don't start from the 3 point line start from close to the basket and when you can hit that shot almost everytime THEN move out until your at the 3 point line.DON'T FORCE IT.Don't listen to the people who say it comes from your arms or you need strong arms...it's not that...it's the relase of your jump shot and LEGS,LEGS,LEGS

amazing video i like it i wish i could be in any other country but egypt,i donot have any chance to play basket ball i'm very sad about this but what could i do :S?

[braindead666monkey]

nothing

[mattydover]

i play football (soccer) when i was young so the power in my legs is their i could strike a football halfway without a bounce (im only 5 feet 4) i can go in practice like 70% mid range but when it come to threes my normal tecnique ends always with airballs the line of my shot is correct but the power is not their the shot does come from ur arms aswell as ur legs no doubt while in mid air the flick and snap of ur wrist and arm needs power so how u say thrre pointers r from legs.

[badboyguns123]

yea that true

[jordandunn14]

if ur not strong that will happen bend a little more and shoot while ur going up and not at the top of ur jumper and add more snap upward with ur wrist

true

[e12dollarz]

VERY true. In high school I was 6'2" and about 155lbs. I had range out to about 23 feet and an excellent midrange jumper. I never worked out my arms and could only bench about 135lbs. In college I started working out and as a result I LOST a great deal of range and accuracy because I was relying on the new strength in my arms, instead of using pure form like before.

[clickpick92]

which college did you play for?

[christine0028]

noob.

[goldenstateketchup]

well then u don't know exactly how to shoot do you?

[AIexen]

hahahaha :D

[WomenAreRamen]

@e12dollarz That might be ridiculous. The more strength you have the easier you'll throw the ball and lighter the transfer of kinetic energy. You must only shoot after your muscle recovers

[rozario4]

true true reposted your comment cuase alot of people needs to know this.

[cisseusa123]

i used to not be able to shoot to save my life

but i learned from some of these vids

[crazy9423]

so does all that work for like 3's and stuff because im 13 and i still have to push the ball, if i work out my triceps and practice alot will that make me better?

[e12dollarz]

Working out your arms won't help that much. If you learn how to shoot properly using the strength of your legs you'll be able to hit threes. However, if you want to be a GOOD shooter, not just a good 3pt shooter, practice shooting really close to the basket and work your way out. I used to shoot 1 foot from the hoop just perfecting my form, then back out to 3 feet, then 6, then 12, then 15 (free throw). If you perfect that, then you can safely back out to the 3pt line.

[linkinparknumb]

i cant do jumpshot since im still a kid im still very weak any advice?

[YoUrDeSiBrOtHeR]

you power needs to come from your legs. bend your knees and shoot...(remember to hold your follow through.. good luck =)

[4ofSpades4]

work out your triceps...you could do rope pulldowns or check the google for excerices to strengthen yur triceps

[sprongclong]

waaaaaaaaat

[Screamz973]

koke720 when shooting keep ya elbow at a 90 degree angle or box and use ya wrist while going up for da shot. That should help.

[3mrulez]

from the knees

[journal400]

LoL thats funny.. u need some muscles before you can start shooting from the 3 point. If you have problems with power, what you can do, depending on if your are left or right handed, i'm right-handed and i taught some young kids to shoot, is to step in using your right foot and shoot off your left, while keeping your same form, you are basically pushing off with power using your legs, instead of your shoulder, arm and so forth. But the key to making shots is to practice.

[pooke7717]

What makes perfect shots is PERFECT PRACTICE.

[idowatiwant9]

umm u dont want front spin u want backspin, and u should work on keeping your elbow in and flick your wrist on the release and follow through

[koke720]

can sum1 help me ok wenever i shoot my shot goes to the right and i can never get it in the midle to make a swish and also my shots always go sidways spin not frontwards spin so can sum1 plz help me, show me how to shoot

[TheTrickyTrickster]

when you shoot use your pointer finger in the dead center and straight up and down it helps alot ... also when u ly in bed with head on pillow grab the bakll and shoot up and try and make it backspin to land on your face( catch it though) untill you have this perfected

[kakkannon]

if the ball is spinning to the right then try to re-angle your hand so the palm is a little more to the left. or vice versa.

youl find this may help with the "its going to the right" thing aswell

if not.. jus imagine the basket is to the left a bit and aim for that. it might go in :D

[Stefan199]

try to bend your knees and use your legs

[thepeoplesuploader]

That's nice. I have some problems with power. When I shoot like that I have a lack of power. Can u please tell me where do I get the power?

[koke720]

use ur legs
