Need Y'all Help Coli Ball players...

[Claudex]

So I've always been a soccer guy but this year something changed and I've decided to switch over to basketball...permanently.

Turns out I'm pretty athletic, so I'm keeping up with the speed. My defense is pretty tight too since the hustle's within me. But my accuracy with the ball is juice. I need to know how to improve my buckets brehs.

I know someone amongst y'all has a step by step program on how to make that possible. I need help with both 2 pointers and 3-pointers.

Today I shot a bank shot that didn't hit the backboard at all. All the nikkas in court hit me with the my teammates hit the .

My problem is that I've got great energy and overall rythm so I managed to get to play with the majors in my hood. I can swim through players just fine, my ball handles are above average I think. But when it comes to the finisher...it's fukking ass.

The dudes in court are legit as to how I can play how I play but fukk up 90% of the shots. I almost never fukk up a pass, my positioning is so great that I've begun to consciously fall back because I can't be taking final passes if I'm gonna fukk up. But all that doesn't cut it...if I'm not scoring.


Brehs, help...

you are trash at basketball and the guys you play against are trash as well or you wouldn't be able to compete with them. watch tapes of how people shoot and then go and practice, that's all you have to do. don't know why you'd need advice on how to do this lol.

 

[Claudex]

True I guess I wasn't quite clear about what I want.
How many shots per day (2/3 pointers) to make one improve effectively in the span of a month?

lol, i don't know, a couple hundred from all over the court? i never did that shyt, i just played my whole life. go to a gym by yourself and attempt jumpshots. if you don't improve in a couple days, watch youtube videos on shot mechanics and then go back and practice some more. once you can make shots by yourself, you can try to learn moves that get you separation in order to get your shot off. don't be the guy who can shoot really well but is nullified bc he doesn't have the skills to get the shyt off in an actual game with someone on him.

 

[CarbonBraddock]

oh, and you're probably not going to go from a scrub to some really good shooter in a month. people play for years and years to get the muscle memory for that kind of thing. unless you're a prodigy, you should not expect to be some lights out guy in 30 days. it will be trial and error as you have to find the shooting style that works for you specifically.

fukk it, a couple of hundred it is then.

Honestly I just need to improve to where I don't miss a bank shot from the lane lines, for starters. In the middle of a fast game that fukks up the momentum something serious. It really sucks when your team just sank 4 jump shots in a row and you get the pass and miss something serious.

We won the game, 'cause at least I can steal balls. But brehs would get mad pissed when I'd essentially give the ball away. It eventually got to a point where I only mattered when the team went on defense 'cause no one was gonna pass me the ball for offense...and with good reason.

And trust I'm very aware of the bolded.

You probably playing with trash people
Only way to learn how to shoot is practice with somebody who knows how to to shoot
If your not taking it seriously just watch YouTube videos and take shots 2-3 times a week

Yeah I've gotten around to practicing. Have improved and everything. Percentage is still trash, but hey it's been weeks!
I know trash when I see it though, these dudes are definitely not it. I probably just overinflated my real worth on the OP.

Just stick at it you will get better and your not a pro so your percentage will probably stay trash. Concern yourself with making good timely shots rather than a percentage

That's the stone cold hard truth.
There's niccas that shoot up to 6 3-pointers in a row though. I'd like to at least get that far.

 

[TheKid55]

I don't really have any advice OP except maybe Google some shooting drills and go to the park and emulate it

This used to get me hype all the time before every session:

6 shots in a row ain't shyt man. if you are not improving to where you can at least do that by yourself in practice, then you need to change how you're practicing. until you get mechanics and shyt down you might want to use a women's ball also, they are easier to shoot with. once you get proper form, you can go back to the real ball.

 

[Kal El]

-Go find a shooting form video that teaches proper mechanics
-Practice that form endlessly
-DO NOT change the form just because you aren't instantly making shots. Pick one shooting form and STICK WITH IT. You aren't going to become a great shooter overnight.
-Repetition, Repetition, Repetition
