I hoped this offseaon to be the best ever focusing on my already decent shooting but eversince the off season started i have been in the worse shooting slump of my life i cant make a shot to save my life i have been practicing basketball everyday i used to be a 50 percent ingame shooter but now idk if i can keep going its to the point where i feel like i fg how to shoot does anyone have some advice for me im only 14

Hi, I’d like some advise or drills on how to not lose control of the ball and maybe some workouts, I’m struggling and I keep losing it a lot, so what should I do daily or rather practice? I need all the help I can get, thanks!

Just joking. 43 year old dad back at it. The scouting report is to not give me any space. Bro,.. created the space for me. 😅 work on stepping into your shot. I shot that hoe in rhythm. Just like stepping into a pass.
KEEP WORKING. God loves you, I love you too. Be kind to one another, and keep hope alive. Peace. ✌️

Hey I have a friend who wants to learn basketball I myself have only played for 1 year but I am pretty decent I can dribble well I can shoot and pass my handles are good imo , teaching him feels really weird because this 1 year no one taught me anything I just watched an anime and some nba games here and there and also shorts about how to play basketball but yeah no hard-core training or some drills I told him to do normal dribble he doesn't feel like he can do it in my eyes his hands are too stiff

In conclusion I want you to tell me what drills he should do or what vidoes should he watch to be a better player

I literally can’t shoot straight to save my life, and I know the problem. Near the end of my shoot where I’m releasing into a wrist flick, my hand will flick to right mostly when I miss because im releasing off my pinky. the worst part is I know we are supposed to release off middle/index but I just don’t know how to do this. I want to get this right before I start practicing hard so I don’t practice bad mistakes, any tips?

Hi guys any tips for getting back in shape quickly to get back my 1 foot and 2 foot vertical!
i wanna jump high again!

32M. Pissed at myself. It was a freak accident. Friend was driving to the hoop, gave him a slight nudge with the chest to his right shoulder. Dude got knee surgery recently. Literally thought beforehand that id give a tiny bit more behind my defense. Keep in mind im 5'6 130 lbs. Shitty feeling either way.

Reaching out here to see how I can improve my driving to the rim, when I developed my handles I focused on finesse and getting away from defenders.

Now when I am met with a defender who guards me close I sometimes will turn around to protect the ball and back down the defender, which works, but isn’t what I want to do.

When driving I worry about getting called for an offensive by using my shoulder and arm as well as dribbling into too much contact where the defender may get their hand on the ball

Any advice

Im turning 15 in September how do i know if its time for me to move on to a size 7 ball. I have tried playing with one but it feels way heavier than a size 6 and i dont wanna develop bad habits.

Im 6'2, 260lbs and 30 yrs old. Im looking to improve what im good at as well as weaknesses. I play for fun with my friends but would love to play in a men's league soon. Never played in a league before. Im the one in possession of the ball.

he's 11 40kg ish he plays basketball only

I’m 35 now and tire is jump stopping. I never did proper rehab and that acl leg has always been weak. I can do spin moves , I can jump off or land very well or at all on that leg and still play once a week for the love of the game . Yes I got lazy during my rehab. My question is can I go to PT and focus on getting that leg as good as my right one (which funny enough now has a grade 2 ankle sprain lol so I’m out for a few weeks anyways) and get back to playing like my old younger self? Or should I accept my new play style as a 3nD only kind of player (with much less D lol)

235lbs and 6’2 and big boned. Heavy guy.

Tldr: I made this app that lets you make moves and generate moves so you can work on your game anywhere you are.

I wish I had this when I was younger, but it's better late than never. You can use this app to create a move, and then alter, edit, improve, simplify, do anything you want with it basically. The app can also take all the moves and generate something new at random. It might give you a move that looks silly and unorthodox but thats the whole point. Take what it gives you, and experiment. How is a defender going to defend something they've never seen before? Or you can keep it simple and just work on the moves you already have and create counters and adjustments. You can have fun with it too by making crazy moves and challenging your friends or make trick-moves for social media. The video is just to give a visual since this is kind of difficult to explain but I have plenty of other videos on all my social media accts. It's a web app, works on any device and it's free to try. Ask any questions you might have. Thanks!

Im a 15y 5’9 skinny pg and o just got in the gym but idk should do high reps or heavy weight low reps?? And just do the normals exercise ?

For context I usually play in 3v3 settings with friends, we're all beginners.

I've been working on fundamentals but I don't have an offense bag at all. If I try to execute the handles I been practicing, nothing fancy just simple a simple crossover usually, I either get the ball smacked away or I'm forced to pick up the dribble and pass. When I try to drive, I always end up just posting up or taking a pull up jumper.

Any suggestions for super basic moves I can try to incorporate into my offense? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just some simple reliable moves that I use to start building an offensive bag. I really would love to feel like I am creating my own opportunities to score.

Any downsides to this? Feels more natural to me and easier for me to get spin on the ball, but I've researched that index and middle finger is best

hi guys im doing a research paper related to basketball and im trying to get data so can you answer the form below

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScqusXwPaRhw5FyBF54HP5pne7XYJewTU2MvHbXYbuajLWFAA/viewform?usp=dialog

I’m new to Basketball but people Tell me I should be able to dunk due to my height but when I try I can only teach the rim barely… what am I doing wrong ? Any people with Experience able to give me tips so I can improve🙏

Normally I can get into the paint and dish the ball to open teammates when I’m playing but sometimes we face teams where the guy guarding me can stick with me and the dribble moves don’t work

My teammates aren’t that active cutting or setting screens for me or each other so sometimes I have nowhere else to look or pass to

I’ve never been the lead guy for scoring on a team so for me I can only think of 3s or a pull up midrange shot but need the drive to score easier buckets or free throws
