  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • @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

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

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

  • hahahaha :D

  • pedofile

  • this vid is disgusting

  • Rofl, PEDOPHILE 1:00 - 1:19

  • olivia is the next michael jordan

  • 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.
