Answer 1

Don't worry about it buddy. I have friend that shoots just like you, he puts the ball a little behind his head and makes it most of the time. You can never block it lol and as long as it goes in you have nothing to worry about. Look at Michael Redd's shot, he brings the ball behind his head and he has one of the best shots ever same with Larry Bird. Looks of the shot dont mean squat if it goes in all the time.

Answer 2

You shouldn't worry about how you shoot, just worry about it going in. If it works for you, then that's all. There are some good players in the NBA that shoot like that. KG, Kevin Durant and Dirk for example shoot like that. Its good that you can bring the ball back and make it effective, also it is a tough shot to block. If you improve on that shot like that, you will be good to go. A lot of good players have wierd shots that are effective, Shawn Marion for example.

Answer 3

well when you get older you are gonna have to have a quicker release because defenses are alto fast and you will get the ball stolen. when you put the ball behind you head, your shot loses its power and its like you are just throwing it because all your leg power is gone, which you need late in games when you are tired.
