Answer 3

Well if you played in high school do this

Get some stats from a website for your position from players in nba know from high school then compare them to yours

example

I am going to play shootng gaurd if I make it to NBA and I want to be really good lets compare me to someone really good like kobe.

30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4.0 steals, 3.8 blocked shots per game

got from http://www.addinternet.com.ar/kobeeng.ht...

I have 26.5 ppg, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals, 2.5 blocks, so based on these stats I can prolly make it to a college team.

Then once you get to college and play do the same thing.

All I did to find the stats were go on google.com and type "(Players name) high school stats" then I searched a little for what I was looking for.

Now you might be rusty so join a league at a park, then get your stats and do that above, make sure your amazing before you even think about getting to nba

Also europe is a lot easier to get into, they sometimes have tryous in america, just google any of your questions, any of them.

defense is a big part of the game, so here are some training tips.

To work on your defense do defensive slides, this is very good and you don't need a lot of space to do it, this sounds a little much but if you have a room that is like 10 feet from wall to wall, defensive slide from one end to another 50 times for a week, then 60, all the way until you get to 100, then you do 100 a day every week.

Another gigantic part of defense is jumping, If you are playing against a team that is on average a foot taller than you, the only way you can stop them from dropping the ball in the basket is defense, and youcan't play defense if they shoot over you so you gotta jump.

To jump high do 50 calf raises a day and 50 squats a day, it will improve your jumping. when that gets easy put some weights in your hands and do them. When you get to jumping high, you can smack anyone dumb enough to try shooting on you.

Another big thing is agility, a lot of people try to trick you by leaving the ball out and when you go for it, they go the other way, now I have great agility so when people try that on me I snag that like stealing candy from a baby. For agility take some tennis balls and go up by a wall, now throw one ball agianst the wall one way, and another ball on the other side, then grab the ball before it hits the ground and throw it back, it sounds easy but when your throwing one, and grabbing the other it can get confusing.

And speed is another big part, if your not fast and you stick tight d, they will go around you, so just gain some speed.

On defense always stay low, cuz you can move quick and also keep your arms out, so when they dribble around you can slide with the and maybe steal the ball.

I hope this helps and if it dosn't

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.

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.
