Omg your handle is soooo bad hahaha

I don't understand. Are you serious? Your release resembles no NBA player, and no quality basketball player.

Sacha, don't listen to these assholes. They're just jealous, immature, and completely correct.

OP is a phaggot.

Too many shooters to tell, it's just you basically shooting quickly and getting very little elevation due to the lack of arm strength (most that lack that strength tend to jump very little on their shot, and release on the way up, which makes it tougher to aim because of the momentum). Keep your head up when you dribble, and I notice you probably have trouble with your left hand. Always pretend there's a defensive player ready to rip the ball when it is dribbled above your chest...even pushing the ball on the break, you never want it to get that high without being wide open and pushing it in front of you. When you receive a pass, catch it and establish a pivot foot by taking a small jab step out. What I do (kind of imitating Kobe) is catch the ball and, at the very same time the ball is centimeters away from my fingertips, I take a small two-step hop (pivot goes down first, and split-seconds later, my other foot hits to the left/right and above it), to establish both feet, one in front of the other, shoulder width apart. Try stepping into the pass as well. That puts me into a triple-threat, allows me to move my non-pivot wherever I please and makes my defender aware I have more options than just a jumper. More elevation on your shot means you have to shoot the ball with more arm strength, and one arm at that (you're almost shooting with two), while using your left arm as a guide more than anything else. Bend your knees more. Tough to do for some players...but it boosts your accuracy and gives you a better chance of making shots over defenders. Finally, left-side layups, left-handed. Right foot hits last (think that in your head). If you're having trouble with rhythm as you go to the rim, take a day or two and practice dribbling left-handed, and have the ball hit the ground with every step your right foot makes. Speed it up a bit, and as you approach the rim, think in your head, "Right and, right and, catch jump." On "catch" during the sequence, you'll be planting your left foot (the first of your two steps) as you gather the ball with both hands. The "jump" part of the sequence is you planting your right foot for the final time, lifting your left knee, and elevating with your left hand. Don't worry, it's not that big of a deal to need so much help with jumpshooting and ball-handling. I've been teaching it in camps since I was 19 or 20, and that was to high school kids, some seniors. There are college players that need coaching, and how many shooting coaches (like Chuck Person and Craig Hodges) are there in the NBA? Plenty.

Your form reminds me of what Forrest Gump's would look like if he decided to pick up a basketball.

Is this you?

When will you release the article detailing the Canucks bravado and the Patriots not winning the Super Bowl?

LOL god damn, you guys are [expletive]ing harsh

shit guys i'm running out of reps to hand out

Sasha, your shot reminds me of Kobe's, you have the potential of a future all-star.

im convinced your God.

You may not be French Canadian but you play basketball like one.

What's up with the Pats choking twice against the Giants??

Then nobody will be getting the birth control, right? So what's the issue? Something like 62% of Catholics back this thing, and that's with only a 38% backing by Catholic men. Isn't this thing going country-wide? Why should they be exempt? Birth control should be available to any woman who wants it. Here's a solid quote:

This thread has inspired me to make a video of my shots and post it on here for constructive criticism

This could be the last time that the Kings are on national TV in Sacramento

Like it's one thing to post a video and ask for constructive criticism. It's another to ask what NBA player I look like. If you're going to say that, you better be good. I'd say I'm a halfway decent player, at least for my size at 5'7ish and even I wouldn't bother posting a video asking who my release looks like. I'm no where near NBA level, so it ain't gonna look like anyone.

I'm a lefty and my release isn't retarded.

He knows. :o

http://themostrequested.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/130555482_crop_650x440.jpg Yes, we're all familiar with Allen Iverson. Iverson is one of the greatest players in NBA history. His prolific scoring ability and his leading aspirations where one of the things that made him who he is today. Regardless of his sub-par shooting percentages; his scoring was the only reason Philly made it to the finals. Mutombo obviously helped, but without Iverson, they'd be in serious trouble. Iverson had a 40 point game in that final series I believe. Iverson may be famous for his killer crossover and his ball hawk like hands, but what plenty of Iverson doubters remember about him, they remember him for his personality. Allen was born in a rough part of town, he was raised in a broken home and was a convicted felon before his arrival in the NBA. Remember when Iverson tried the rap game? Iverson famously annoyed NBA commissioner David Stern when an album he had made under the soubriquet "Jewelz" was said to contain offensive and hateful lyrics about homosexuals. That was a disaster, plus, let's go back a second, let's review his felonies. Some charges where dropped, others weren't. You could see his previous record would make you assume he'd be.. well, guilty! Now sadly, he can barely play in Besitaks, and is struggling financially, so I've heard. 14/02/1993: Given a 15 year jail sentence, with 10 years suspended, for maiming someone with a chair at a bowling alley. Served 4 months before receiving a pardon, and a quashed conviction. 4th August 1997: Convicted of carrying an unlicensed concealed weapon and marijuana possession after the car he was riding as a passanger in was stopped for speeding. In a plea bargain, pleaded no contest to the gun charge so that the drug charge would be dropped. Sentenced to 100 hours community service, 3 years probation and 2 years of drug testing. July 2002: Arrested and charged on 14 counts, including 12 felonies, after storming into his cousins apartment with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. All charges eventually dropped due to inconsistent prosecution testimonies. After reading those factual details about Iverson's lack of senseability, you can presume that he is, and forever will be, a drama queen. His play on the court will always be hindered by the legacy he left behind off the court. Regardless of how you think of Iverson, you will think about his troubles. Imagine what Iverson could of been, if he had been better off the court? He IS an iconic legend of 2000's culture, but is that a good thing? Was he an example? Was he a GOOD one, at that? Does his barrage of fans come off as people in denial, or people who're passionate? What if basketball was just a game? If Iverson wasn't hogged down by the media, would he have been such a mess? Sure, was it his fault he was badly spoken? Most of the time, yes. Iverson has swag. He had his very unique persona that can never be duplicated. Loud mouthed winner who would die on the court for you. The most impressive player at his size in recent memory. Truly athletic and truly talented, was Allen Iverson.

Happy 20th, Legacy! This one's for you: ^ "(...)The legacy I leave behind.... I don't ask for much these days, just enough room to spread my wingz and a world fin 2 know my name! (...)"

Obviously not, you don't know basketball. Not the next Jordan, not allowed to talk about how well he's played? Got it. We have a [expletive]ing Corey Magette STAR TRACKER, but no conversation about a player who is actually playing well and leading his team to wins. Makes sense.

Why weren't you aborted?

Lmfao..this thread made my day. Sacha, don't listen to these jerks. I see true NBA potential in you. That's a million dollar shot and those handles are mindblowing. I gotta get your autograph real quick before u make it to the NBA.

This thread is golden. I love it.

He is def the real deal.

Who the hell did you coach with handles like that? 2 year olds at gymboree, inbetween snack time and the parachute game?

Bet AI could prob lay a beatdown on Kobe.

3rd straight 20+ game for Jlin and a double double. He proved something by playing well in an away game, even if it's against the Wizards. Always fun to see those awkward asian fans too.

You root for the Bruins. They're bigger, badder, tougher, and better than every team in the NHL. They'll beat you up, and beat you down. Not to mention they are the defending championed. However, rooting for them means you have to bare and watch teams in their division like the Canadiens and Sabres play like pussies and dive all the time, but it's worth it.

You can pretty much buy those games separately for about the same total at most places.

3rd.

Pretty sure each and every one of my haters gon' find at least one of these attractive: http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/lifestyle/files/2011/12/bumbum_group.jpg

Will LeBron jump through him, or over him? Will Perkins even contest? Maybe Ibaka will be there, or he'll just stand back and let natural selection take place. I'm excited.

Perkins is always talking to the media looking for attention, so really, who is he to talk? He has this to say about Chris Webber earlier this year because he said that Perkins was a great fit in Boston but not for Oklahoma City: Last season he called Pau Gasol soft and Phil Jackson arrogant: Had this to say about the Heat after he was traded to OKC: These are all from within the last year and I'm sure I could find more if I really looked. Perkins is just pissed that everybody is starting to see how overrated he is without Garnett covering his ass defensively. The guy is constantly barking to the media, yet he has a problem with a Twitter comment from James? Give me a break.

They'll be fine with Lin and Novak.
