What should i do to make myself better at basketball?Please answer!

Question

Like what drills and stuff should i do to make me a better bballer?

Answer 1

practice is key and along with practicing never give up start out small free throws, dribbling, then take it up to 3 pointers, tricks, practice without watching the ball while dribbling make up your own exercises bend your knees when you shoot, work on jump shots, lay ups, any of that and eventually put it all together but you need confidence never tell yourself you are bad at the sport, never give up on it if you love to do it and i guarantee with some hard work and effort you can make yourself a better player in the sport

Answer 2

well heres the main thing. PRACTICE! as much as u can.

practice dribbling..choose somethin to look at while u dribble cuz u NEVER wanna look down while ur dribbing.

run..alot.

do leg work outs..sqauts,bleacher,etc.(it helps with your jumping)

when u play..play right..watch ur moves..dnt just jack around tryin to show off.

when u shoort free throws..bend your knees dont jump!

practice using your pivot foot..

pretty much wat this all comes down to is to PRACTICE

practice as much as u can for as long as u can however u can.

u can be practicing but shooting paper balls into the trash can..just practice AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

hope i helped =]

7) 10 three pointers at 7 different spots

8)10 free throw

9) sprinting base line to base line, base line to free throw, base line to half court, base line to the other free throw then base line to base line again.

10) 10 free throw

11) then lay-up for 20 mins

12) then i run stairs for 20 mins( run up, WALK DOWN)

13) 25 MADE free throws

14) and then i work on fundamentals

15) defensive slides (don't hop, ur hips should be level the whole time)

16) shoot around

but if you wanna get quicker  jump roping (as fast as you can), and running stairs ( run up, walk down)

Answer 8

work on hops, handles, and your shot,plus quickness

Answer 9

Practice. I practiced for 30-45 minutes, doing only jump shots and free throws, 5 times a week for a while last year. I was a way better player within 2 months.

Also if you know 5-10 other people who you can get to play with you, play knockout. It is a lot of fun and really helps with shooting. I've listed a link about the game in my sources.
