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?

and shut up about the dunking

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.
