Apologies for the poor quality footage but is anyone able to advise on my jumpshot, I find that I am just very streaky and inconsistent.

Need advice on how to get just 1-2 inches extra on technique any help appreciated 🫡

Hey everyone, 25yo lifelong hooper here and I’m looking to connect with someone who wants to help each other get better at basketball. I’ve always only ever been self taught but ironically self teaching’s always been the end of me lol so I could really use the structure and support. I would really appreciate having someone around to just help keep me in line, to share and discuss drills, tips, and structure with each other and help maintain consistency and motivation… I’ve got an endless supply of drills saved on my phone covering pretty much all the fundamentals in basketball, so I just need to put it all together and consistently put in the work. I just really want to finally breakthrough and reach my potential at the recreational level after all these years. And of course as a bonus, I would love to get to meet fellow hoopers on here and just make some more friends too :) So yeah, anyone interested please send me a message or leave a comment!

if someone could break this move and its footwork down assuming im using the right hand (in the video he is using the left hand) or lowk any way I would be really grateful!!

I was just watching my latest game and I realized I am way too accelerated in games, and its actually messing with everything. Especially on offense, where for example I shot an airball because I was very nervous when I get the ball in my hands.

How tf do I get over my acceleration, chill tf out calm my nerves and anxiety? Its like everytime I get the ball on offense I just want to pass quick to get rid of it idk wtf is happening. Also, in trainings it doesnt happen to me even tho I take them very seriously as well. I know I can attack these guys but I get way too nervous in games with everyone watching , Im afraid to make mistakes. Wtf do I do?

which exercises is better for increase the vertical jump? Is it single leg extension or single leg press? and what exercises that's super good for your vertical jump?

hi all, the gym below my apartment has limited equipment when it comes to hitting legs. It has a leg extension machine and dumbells, along with a few benches that I can use. What are some good exercises I can do with that? I’m primarily a 2 foot jumper and need a good combination of strength work + plyometrics that I can use for a lower day (used to do push pull no legs, shameless, want to switch to upper lower)

Its genuinely weird, it doesnt seem to bother me for close midrange shots buit from 3 thats when I see a lot of my shots miss left (sometimes really badly).

It's really anyone and idk how to fix this. As you can see in the video its almost like my entire arm is rotated to my left.

my current diet sucks, is there any good healthy foods i could eat to get stronger and more fit? slight emphasis on the pre-game stuff

I feel like people have no idea how it works and why it exists, so I'm going to clear it up.

In basketball you are allowed to take two steps in order to control your momentum when you are going for a layup. The two steps only count after you fully gather and pick up the ball. NOT WHEN THE DRIBBLE IS STILL LIVE. If this didn't exist your layup would get blocked all the time since you would have to completely stop before shooting the layup. When you are taking the two steps you are allowed to completely stop.

When you completely stop you are allowed to shoot the ball or pass the ball. In order to shoot the ball you naturally have to plant the your pivot which counts as a step. So because of this you can do a step through, since you already have to take a "step" anyways so might as well get yourself to the most ideal spot with that step.

Now the gather step exists because sometimes when you are about to pick up the ball, you are in an awkward position(one of your feet is still in the air), so you have no control over the ball. So the rules allow you to "gather" and gain control and plant your foot down before you start to count the steps.

In the Hugo Gonzalez clip, he stutters steps, which DOESN'T end his dribble so you don't count his steps. If you could only step once per dribble everyone would be playing at the same exact speed, which would make offense too easy to predict. He didn't pick up his dribble/ball kept rotating in his hand so his dribble didn't officially end.

When the ball stops moving/rotating that is when his dribble officially stops. Dribbling after the ball stops rotating/moving would be a double dribble or a carry. After the ball stops rotating, Hugo is in an awkward position(one of his feet is off the ground). The rules allow him to plant that foot before counting his steps(aka a gather). So after he does his gather, he takes two steps for the layup.

I hadn't washed mine for 8 months, and decided to finally do it because it had a really bad odor.

But I gotta be honest, I regretted this decision immediately. It was just slippery and slimey afterward, and I wasn't able to handle it as well.

Idk, I just couldn't shoot it that day.

And tbh, it smells even worse now.
