How difficult are these basketball shots?

guest — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 03:30:46 GMT

Anyone ever try to do that kind of stuff at the gym?

Great 3 point shooter John Jenkins shooting 3s

Does anyone here shoot like him? I don't. How come he veers his right hand (shooting hand) to the right after every 3? Does that help to hold the release like that after u rlease the shot? I never seen that before. To move your shooting hand to the right like that. Anyone know if that works for u

How can someone have a fave player as Melo Anthony when he doesn't even play any D and whines a lot? He is just big and a scorer. My fave is Kobe Bryant. I heard his shoes are good too.

Re: how to get big legs?

Part of having a good vertical is genetics and not big legs. U need strong legs though and good hamstrings. U should do squat exercises to strengthen your lower body and plyometric exercises too. Just type "plyometric exercises" on YouTube and u can find some. 6'6 is pretty tall, u should be able to dunk.

Best shoes are the Kobe Bryant zoom shoes. So light on the feet and are low top shoes!!

This looks like a nice move too that can't be blocked for guards

Hard to block a hook shot

What is your go to move?

We all have our go to moves in our arsenal but what is your favorite or best move when u need to make a shot in the clutch? I think my fave is the pump fake and shot off a dribble.

For some, it is a hook shot, a step back jumper, a corner 3 pointer, or a fallaway leaning J. I think Kemba Walker of UCONN has a good go to move when he does his stepback jumper and he does it against bigger guys who aren't as fast as him.

Something like this. This looks like a good shot to practice when u pretend to go into the paint but u just step back and make a J. Hardest part is probably working on the J though or shooting from fading away?

Re: Finishing at the basket?

There is a simple answer and solution to your question.

U have to learn how to do a runner/floater. U have to finish in the paint with a floating shot or running shot so it's harder for the big guys to block it.

Run into the lane and just flip it up. Can u do that? Guys like Steve Nash always do that against big men and I think Nash has it down the best.

Look at that example below. U can't be stopped if u use that!

Re: Shooting drills???

yes u should play a game by yourself called +10 - 10

Shoot a midrange shot and if u miss, it is -2 points. So -2 for each miss and if u make your shot, it is +1.

So u get 2 pts negative for a missed and 1 pt for a make shot.

If u get to -10 u lose and your goal is to get to +10

U start with 0 in beginning of the game. U can play with friends too
