Owner Popular Post Real Deal Posted February 8, 2012 Owner Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 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. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 you dribble way too high bro, get your dribble down towards your knees and get some damn knee flex on your shot too damn rigid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Swish* Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 LOL I know my release is shit... my left hand layup and dribbling are my 2 main weaknesses... I never worked on my handles because I'm a sharp shooter who's used to catch and shoot it right away or just dribble and pull up off the dribble.

Guru Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 On some real shit though you should check out http://www.betterbasketball.com/brands/ videos. They are expensive as [expletive] so you should probably get them another way. But I remember back when I was learning how to play recreation ball in like 6th grade our coach made us watch those videos before every practice (probably different than the ones they have now but probably same concepts). They actually do help with fundamental basketball skills... and judging from your drives to the hoop I can tell those skills need major improvement.

Owner Real Deal Posted February 9, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnnbbgDxfzUWow...I've never seen this video before. The kid may not be doing everything perfectly, but he's very intelligent and is saying all of the right things. For your ball handling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i6J55SAHfEThis guy has always annoyed me, not just because of the sound effects, but because he's not as good as he thinks. That crossover in his clip wouldn't put very many elite defenders (at a high school level, let alone college) on their heels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
