Answer 1

keep pricticing

Answer 2

well for dribbleing do this

Take 2 balls and dribble with them, AT THE SAME TIME. Then walk with the 2 balls once you get used to being stationary. Then start running while you dribble with 2 balls, then add these moves in order after you master one move to the other, crossover(cross both balls over from each hand to other) through legs(put both balls between legs), behind back, one high one low, one fast pace and one at slow pace. after you master all of these do these drills with one ball.

Run dribbling and switching hands after every dribble. Then go between your legs, then behind back , through opponents legs. And one thing that held me back from dribbling good was not doing these moves in fun games, i wud be scared ppl wud laugh if i messed up, but then i didn't care and got better that way, and watch the and 1 t.v. show, the have awsome dribbleing moves. and remember the are quick explosive moves, if you not fast enough, you will get the ball stolen, good luck.

and do this drill for shooting

Here are the steps.

1. Stand 3 feet away from basket.

2. do beef in order

2.a. Balance, make feet shoulder width apart and make sure you feel balanced

2.b. Elbow, make an L shape with you elbow, and hold ball like you are going to shoot, remember to put your ring finger and your index finger (not middle, index finger) on the seams of the ball to get the most rotation.

2.c. Eyes look at the basket, vision the ball going right over the basket and shoot the ball, just so it goes over the front of the rim.

2.d. Follow through, keep your arm in the air and wrist bent until the ball hits the floor.

3. Do this for about 20 min before every game, practice etc., every time you make 10 in a row take a step back, if you miss even once, go back to the beginning.

The point of this drill is to practice perfect, perfect, perfect form. I don;t know what you do, but if you go in there shooting from the free throw line and trying to make 3's right away, you will have an off day, now sure it's normal to have an off few days like your having, but if you practice this drill before, you will never have an off day, I guarantee.

Answer 4

dribbling is all about practice practice practice the more you practice the better you will be with it shooting is practice 2 but its all about the hand motion and rotation try gettting good rotation on the ball by not using your palm just tips of fingers and shoot into air at first it helped me alot

another thing is its all about sight the ball goes where you look say u look a little left of the basket the ball will go left of the basket but practice and you will get better
