Is muscle memory that reliable in basketball?

Question

should the shot go in every time with out even thinkin when you shoot if you have good muscle memory

Answer 1

Yes.  I can shoot free throws or threes with my eyes closed because I have no girlfriend or social life and spend most of my free time shooting.  It's become automatic because I know where the hoop is from wherever I am on the court.  All great shooters are pretty much automatic from anywhere because they've shot so much that it's become muscle memory for them.

Answer 2

what ur dumb of course its good

Answer 3

YES man bball becomes 2nd nature if u do anything a lot of times whether its shooting or dribbling or even passing

just remember when u shoot everytime you shoot keep your release high aim for the lip of the rim

for practice shooting stand right below the rim but where u can shoot from and shoot with both hands and keep your followthrough till it goes throught the basket

when u get comfortable and ur gettin all swishes move back and keep shootin with both hands before u know its u be knockin down shots from anywhere and thats muscle memory for ya

P.S shooting isnt the most important of bball man gettin to the basket is, also work on midrange shootin and and dribbling  

Answer 4

yes, how else do you think these guys can make like 99.9% of their shots from anywhere on the court? I saw the best player of all time Kobe Bryant make shots when shane batttier of the rockets and paul pierce of the celtics were putting a hand in his face whenever he shot the ball. So you wish you were a baller? A little bit taller? lol
