  1. Basketball is a 5 on 5 game.

    Don't be afraid of the ball. Want the ball. Demand the ball, get open, set picks, cut, just don't stand around doing nothing think you're already open. Simple as that. If you don't transcend what you've been practicing on to the court in a game, its pointless.

    Don't fear losing, desire to win.


  2. Well, if your only great when you play by yourself, than your not great.

  3. scared of the ball? dude it just a game your not being paid to be out there! its a game! approach it like one have a good time! if you miss a shot or turn the ball over who cares your not playing for a nba title or a national championship

  4. You can't be afraid of the ball, remember it's just a game. You need to relax and if people don't pass you the ball, call for it. Also, when shooting hoops in your spare time, try playing with your friends or teammates. This way you are accustomed to having a hand in your face and being pressured with some defense.

  5. Ask your basketball coach as she or he knows you more than we are!

  6. well if your good just go out there and play have fun dont worry bout missing if you do forget about it and keep playing even nba and wnba players make mistakes and bad choices remeber when lebron james airballed that free throw??(i think about that whhen i do something bad) and your teammates make mistakes to and try saying to your point guard your open and pass you ball and if they still pass it to you go talk to your coach
