in high school i was on the varsity team but never really took it serious and put in the work. I honestly wasn’t that good either but now that i’m 24, i can actually hoop against bigger dudes in the gyms. I really wish i could go back in time and put in the work and see where it could’ve taken me
True dat. I started playing again at 32 yo after stopping altogether at 19 and I realised how much I've improved in the last 4 years (I'm 36) and how much better I would have been with a different mentality when younger. I had never been a 3 point shooter but now I can and am lethal from corner 3's. I hope my body will let me play at least a portion of the time I missed without hoopin'
@Harlan Kendrick lmao used to do demonstrations for people when I did Karate. Stuff like do backflips and weird shit to show fun sparring techniques. Nothing you would ever use in a fight but fun flashy shit. Well I tried doing a flip over somebody and ate it. It was not pretty and in front of a bunch of kids and parents. Good times...
these are literally all a waste of time. I see this being taught repeatedly and imo its silly. Shooting on a side of a hoop or on a line does not actually help with the trajectory and mental component needed to hit a shot on a 10 foot rim. I'm gonna write this comment in the hopes that some young guy reads this: Shooting is essentially about ensuring the power comes from your legs. The way to ensure the power comes from your legs is to always move the arms to the pocket slightly before you jump with your legs. This way the power will come as your extending to shoot. The elbow should be tucked in and the wrists should flick towards the rim. The main thing to always remember: Legs (your jump) are what drive the ball, not your arms. The arm and wrist is for aiming and as long as you flick and have the elbow not too flared out it will be on target every time. That's it. Actually once you understand this you dont need to even warm up much. I avg 6 threes a game in my mens league at 32 and I couldnt hit a single three for 10 years before that unless it was in warm ups.
Thanks man! I’m 27 and never played organized basketball but am finding peace in shooting hoops at my local park. It’s still great but a little frustrating when I miss a ton of shots and since I never had a coach, I didn’t know about any of these drills. My biggest flaw (in basketball) is how inconsistent my shot placement is (usually wide right) so that first drill is gonna be a game changer in making sure I’m consistently placing the ball in a straight line!
Usually, I start from below the rim doing 3 in a row until I get to the 3 point. It gives me muscle memory on how much range and how much power I need to make the shot from that distance.
@@bigdickalo5661 you may not always have a hoop to warm up. It’s just a practice. You’re probably more on line if you hit the line as opposed to being content with making the shot. But it’s mostly for warmups without a rim available.
I always go for 10 free throws in a row before even shooting around. Free throws are the most underrated consistency builder for your shot that there is. When you find that release point on your free throw, it stays with you on all of your shota
10 is nice. I make 3 in a row at below the rim and take a step back and continue until I am at the line, then will shot 30 or so (not in a row) then I do around the world, again make 3 from every spot on the key, then I redo that around the world a step back until I finish at the 3. Every now and then in between when my arm is getting tired I make some left hand layups to break up the jump shooting, then when I think I have my shot dialed I will extend it to 3 point line and just try long bombs until my legs can't take it any more. usually like to finish on 2 made baskets in a row to feel good going home.
Those are all fire, I’d like to add that the most important thing with getting your shot right is repping those nothing but net swishes and getting that to feel like walking GREAT STUFF SON🔥
As a shooter, this is great advice about warmup. Personally I like to wake up my shooting muscles by shooting around paint, baseline to fouling line to baseline. Only after that, I shoot some high school threes and nba threes for the last.
1 of the biggest things that helped my shooting was FOCUSING ON THE RIM its sounds so simple but I promise during that shooting motion FOCUS ON NOTHING BUT THE RIM 💯
Everybody who reading this you got this. Put in the grind I’m left handed by nature my family tried to make me right hand but i rebelled and listened to myself. Born a shooter but no to get off topic everybody has the potential we are all powerful beyond measure. Use your gifts to your benefit and push yourself harder till your within activate 🙏🏽💯
When I reinvented my shot going into sophomore season (because it sucked), i did one handed shooting starting close and then moving out gradually. Then I worked on putting the other hand up and shooting form shots from close and working my way out. I did this everyday and my shot improved drastically and didnt look like crap anymore. But doing that everyday helped me gain consistency and i became a very consistent shooter bc of that i believe
I started doing form shots before doing shooting workouts and it has improved my shooting massively. I plateaued hard and didn't get better since my student days but now I'm seeing gradual improvement again which is encouraging for somebody trying to get back in the game.
I love starting off with u see the rim form shooting focusing mainly on what I was Messing up last time. Usually it’s just making sure I snap my wrist and release off of the 3 fingers. And importantly seeing the ball go through the net perfect swish gives instant confidence
I was doing drills like this with my girlfriend at the park , we were just focusing on form and nothing but net , and I was getting shots from the free throw line in no time ! 2 hours out there and we both saw improvement ! These are valid people !
this is def good if you’re still trying to get used to shooting a certain way and getting your form down , but once you got that down i would try not to get too used to this , think about it in most games (high school/aau) you’re not gonna be able to work out like this so try to shoot when you’re cold sometimes too
Facts right there Rodger mason jr taught me the two finger method for the guide hand and starting very close to the bucket gradually moving back making sure everything is a swish
This is spot on. There’s a video of Steve Nash (UA-cam “Steve Nash in 20 min”) where he is doing a shooting warmup drill. It’s a very simple regimen but it’s amazing how effective it is in regard to getting loose and just having a very smooth feel with your shot.
thanks bro ive been watching your vids i play for a aau team called be elite basketball but the thing is ive never had actual basketball structure such as plays and other things ive always played streetball plus i never grew up playing basketball i always played football i just started actually having basketball structure instead of just doing whatever but your videos have helped me improve my game and make the team.

Yeah I do a warmup similar to that
facts.
always start up close and build your way back. easiest way to build muscle memory
Instructions unclear
Every shot I shoot hits the side of the backboard
You're doing it right
good tips man, I usually warm-up just by shooting very close to the basket
That’s really all I feel like you gotta do. I do that until it’s feeling automatic and then slowly start moving out
Also, I like the spin self-pass to a jumper to mimic shooting off the bounce pass.
I’m not good what so ever, but 5 makes from each spot around the world, and 5 makes around the world from 3 really help me
My dad taught me to start doing this young which really helped me out in the long run thanks for showing people this too
Ain’t like I’m telling you anything you don’t know but your shot is 🧈 my boy, I ain’t gon hold you.

I thought I was the only one who shot with no rim and tried to hit the line 😅 I was standing on.

Why? What does that do for you when u have a net right there 😭
@Big Dickalo I think the point is to help you shoot straight forward so your shot isn't going all over the place.

Agreed. More people should learn this. Its an underated approach but effective
The back board warm up is actually smart af. Using that next time.
Yeah now I don’t wonder why my form is completely off the next day. Thank you bro 👍

You are probably the most humble content creator I have seen...
Bro this is the exact court I was on yesterday at an Aau game
Him :Stop doing this
Eventually goes in the basket 💀 💀
I start under the hoop and migrate out as I make each shot boosting my confidence
the shot in the beginning looked like it wouldn’t go in until it came back into the frame
Thanks. This will help me a lot. In my basketball games
Yep. My go to is the net shots 😂🎉
Also dribble a ton before you start shooting, this will help your arms to already be warm
Theres never a moment where not shooting at the basket is better practice than shooting at the basket.
People really come up with anything
Love the tips always be coming back to watch n practice
all I hear is “bitch is ogz or no gz 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”
Thanks, I just tried this and it works great
Gonna do these tomorrow thanks brother

Balance is more important than almost all of that
That's great most teams do warm ups 1st then a lay up line. I dont see those anymore 😂
free throws are always my warmup
Thanks for the tips❤
Thanks for the tips😊(I’m playing advanced this year so this will help a lot)😀
Completely forgot about backboard shots bro those are so useful
this channel coming in clutch tysm
i know that place, i go there all the time
Thanks. I may have to start playing again and teach all these young bloods how to play tough
i like to watch pistol petes video on shooting, feel like it always helps me out
Thanks, I'm on my sister's tablet, but I just started basketball, and our 1st game is on Saturday, so I appreciate the help
Terrific form 👌🏾 💯🔥
I applause you for doing this my guy!
Facts right there
Rodger mason jr taught me the two finger method for the guide hand and starting very close to the bucket gradually moving back making sure everything is a swish
I used to put my left hand behind my back and with my other hand I would practice my form shooting the ball up against the wall. It helps
that swish shot has been my go to
I love playing in this gym. Played some of my best league games here
someone finally shows how to fix your shot 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thx for this, I’m training for a select/club team

I can vouch for this I worked with Fred Saunders for years (played for Celtics) & I spent so much time working on my touch right around the rim
thank you I just started basketball and this is helping me so much. they actually work.
You can also try to sneak in a little bit around the world action too
From the blocks
Imagine watching these types of videos in 2023
Thanks ... I do three different shooting games everytime I hit the playground or gym 😃
thanks i do that a lot when i hit the gym

That BLOVE is a BOP!
I love your jumpshot form
and remember kids the worst thing you can do is become complacent after a couple on point days
I remember those warm up shots. Can tell if it's going to be an off night. But those warm ups help to make any adjustments to the shot.
First shot is immediately a three 2 steps back. If I miss, I warm up. If I get it, I got it that day. Never fails.
Wish I could save this lol🔥
