BASKETBALL PLAYING TIPS | TOP TIPS AND TRICKS
This is a quick tips section for all aspects of playing
basketball. We'll eventually have basketball tip sections that get far more
specific. This is just quick stuff to remember.
SHOOTING
Practice shots that you'd take in a game. Stand still,
catch and shoot. Stand still, catch, dribble and shoot. Catch while on the move
and shoot. Catch while on the move and fake or just go right into the dribble
and then shoot. And, creating off of fakes (while a pivot foot is planted).
Make sure you square up to the basket when shooting. Both feet should be
pointing at the basket, and your body should square up to it. Make sure your
power is coming from your legs, not your arms. Remember to follow-through on
your shot. Practice like crazy. And be intense. Don't be lazy, work hard. If
you half-heartedly practice getting shots off, they won't be very effective
when a tough defender is near you in a real game.
