nah yo... basic cable

haaa...

I enjoy watching BBALL more than playing it

u know GOlf is my thing


to better myself in that, I watch PROS my game is similar to (or not) to better my technique. I read books and watch videos. But, most of all, I practice and play against people who are better than I am. THe last thing is what'll take your game higher...You can't get good playing against scrubs.

Ive never come across tutorials or shit like that. But I can give you some advice..

Before I stopped playing basketball competetively, I used to always carry around at least a tennis ball, and dribble it... A basketball would be better, but theyre so big. You might think its too hard, or not effective training to use a tennis ball, but it teaches your mind the physiological and physical side of the way the ball moves. If your mind is completely aware of the way a ball will bounce if it is directed at the ground from a particular angle, then your dribbling becomes autonomous.

Practicing constantly with any kind of bouncable ball teaches not only physics and the way IT moves, but also the way you should move. Your brain will get used to moving into the right position to bounce the ball again. The point of doing it with a tennis ball is it is a lot harder (but easier to carry around) than doing it with a basketball, so you get the hand coordination down real well.

At my peak I was able to bounce the tennis ball through my legs, behind my back, with my left hand, from hand to hand.. etc. As a result, I never fumbled the ball in a game.

For your jumpshot, just get your coach to make sure your technique is correct, and then practice. The only tip I can give you is to try and make the angle of the shot a high arc. Low arc balls have higher kinetic energy on impact with the backboard or ring, and have less of a chance of going in except in special circumstances.

Im a bball coach btw, so if you have any questions just ask.

And can you dunk?

Buy one of them shits that be on NBA TV n' shit.

who saw that trevor ariza dunk on ben wallace yesterday?
knicks vs pistons game last night

Did the pistons win anyway?

yes they did
it was entertaining anyway

yeah, preciate it that tennis ball thing sounds pretty cool

and what i REALLY want right now is some kind of tutorial about how you are SUPPOSED to fucking shoot a jumpshot with video or at least pictures or somethin... i dont have a coach, i'm just trying to work on my game on my own right now, and everybody plays basketball at my school (college) so the intermural leagues and shit are competitive as hell, and i'm gonna play next semester

and shut up about the dunking :(
lol, im 6'5 and can't fuckin boom it
another thing i need to work on, my leg strength and jumping height... u know any easy ways to improve that? i just need a few more inches and i got it easy

*raises hand*

I heard the rapters are like boooooooooo this year.

1-16 or somethin...

...but Im not a big basketball fan.

we just beat Kentucky @ kentucky, woot woot

Jumpshot technique is really easy.. Just grab any video of an NBA dude doing a jumpshot and try to mimic his technique. You cant improve accuracy by learning some new technique, jumpshots improve with practice.

Yeah after seeing your pic I figured that, thats why I asked.. The way I got the extra inches I needed was with a leg training program. The most effective one I can think of doesnt need any expensive gear or anything, is real easy, and only takes a matter of weeks. Its called "Air Alert 2," and you can probably find it with any p2p program.

You could use "Air Alert 3," but its results, at your level, would probably be the same as using Air Alert 2... 3 is based around plyometrics, so its more effective for athletes that already have a fair bit of strength in their lower body. If you do it first up, your body will have already adapted to the plyometric exercises, which are the best way to increase jump height at a high level.

After Air Alert 2, you'll be able to jump around 4 to 12 inches higher than before.. But using Air alert 2, then Air Alert 3, ive seen people gain 10 to almost 20 inches.

roffflmao........

that shit was sickness
im gonna look for a pic of that shit

i am 6'2 and i can dunk on a high school basketball rim
i know all about basketball cause i've been playing ever sicei was 5 years old
and yea what OMB said is rite
I make my shot i high arch shot and with the ball in my hand i flick my right wrist
I mostly do Inside shots lay ups and dunks but my 3's are horrible
as for handles i was born ith good handles but to handle well you have to have good eye cordination to see where your dribbling (Don't focus on the ball focus on the court to make a pass or focus on his foot posistion to shake the defender off) and to see whether the opposing player attempts to steal the ball

^^ Shows you how to make a good shot and how to CORRECTLY shot a basketball

The starting point also affects the range. The higher the ball, the shorter the range. The shooting hand is positioned on the low-back side of the ball, fingers spread comfortably wide, with palm facing the basket and held clear of the ball by the fingertips and heel of the hand. The off hand is on the low-forward side, palm away from the basket. The function of the off-hand is to provide balance and control.-Best Tip I Can Give You

Buy an And 1 Mixtape DVD....lol... :thumbup:

lol, thats how you do NOT improve your game... i've tried that before, and you end up wasting all your time on the unimportant shit
