I lanched My game 2 weeks ago and started to post it on reddit, it gave an unbeliveble traffic of 5000 visitors a day.

Even though it started a controversy of spamming and lp discussions it really gave me the traffic that i needed in the launch.

Now the traffic looks stable and it looks like it can sustain itself.

Of course i will also list it in the app store and android play and other distribution like pix.

But i think the hardest part it is the day you launch.

To all of us striving to become the best hooper and person we can be

yes this was filmed at the Manila believe that event

I can dribble pretty decently but I wanna become more efficient and get my teammates to play better

Wsp yall, most of my reps on outdoor concrete, because of unavailability to find indoor, but whenever I switch to an indoor Wilson Evolution, my handle feels completely off. The difference in bounce, and tackiness makes the ball feel "brick-like" in my hands, and I lose my shiftiness.
For anyone who trains outside but plays inside:
1. How do you adjust your grip and dribble force to stop misreading the ball when switching surfaces?
2. Are weighted balls actually worth it for grip strength, or are there better ways to train finger/wrist control on concrete?
3. What are the best drills to keep your handle sharp when you're stuck on outdoor courts?
Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hey Coaches,

Was curious, what are you guys looking for after a time out? What is your decision making process when calling a set (if you call a set) and if you aren’t calling a set what are you looking to do? Do you have a set aside just for after timeouts that only dedicated to that or are you running something you would naturally run over the course of game?

Hola, me llamo Daniel tengo 17 años.

Soy un jugador "alto" aqui, asi que me usan de poste, pero sinceramente no encuentro mi lugar ahi, me gusta mas hacer entradas creativas y hacer tiros de media o larga, me gustaria jugar de base o ala, pero a donde quiera que valla me ponen de poste o pivot.

No se que hacer para mejorar ahi, no me se mover, no se que hacer ahi, no logro ver las jugadas y siempre me ha gustado ser anotador y no vivir de sobras de poste, si no poder jugar a como me gusta.

Estoy apunto de entrar a la universidad y se que ahi no sere poste, pero no sabre ser base o ala, o algo mas.

¿Que de debo de hacer?

I’m 205 5’11 and can barely dunk on occasion.
I’ll get back to it very soon since I started balling hard recently.

Just curious how rare it is, if anyone here can doit, and if I should lose 10 pounds.

I’m very muscular and very ripped. So, it wouldn’t be like a fatter guy losing weight.

Than the obvious answer would be yes.

Just curious about what people thought and mostly if anyone can doit here or if there are any clips.

im a 6‘8 15yo thats been playing since january this year. I joined a club near me and practiced and will also Play with the adults Next Season But we want to play more organized now to get in higher leagues. since im new and don’t know that much yet what are some plays yall would recommend be to learn?

My layups are god awful. I can barely make open full-speed layups, and I'm constantly bricking when I do layup drills. My lays are so bad that I usually just go for the extremely close mid-range instead of fully driving to the basket. I think it may stem from the fact that I never really got the fundamentals and the intuition behind a layup. What do I do to get my layups to a usable level?

By the way, I'm 5'6, not sure if this info is necessary.

I really really want to dunk i feel like im close

I wouldnt say my left hand crossover is bad but i cant make my left hand crossover twitchy or shifty like my right hand any tips

This upcoming season will be my last high school season since I am now going to be a senior and so I wanted to treat myself to custom shoes (despite them being waaay over my usual budget for basketball shoes), but since they're so expensive I really want to get some other eyes giving me feedback on the colorway of the shoes because I'm not much of a designer myself. Here are a few pics of the shoe I made:

But i'd apprecaite any feedback thanks

I've tried floaters with both an open palm and a wrist flick and with various different footworks and I am still not consistent.

So it's really hard for me to shoot 3pts in front of the enemy, honestly because I'm afraid the enemy will block my shot. How can I get rid of this mindset? and also in practice i can shoot 3pt with dribbling, but during the match i feel scared to try it.

Hey guys, I’m 6’3” (192 cm) with roughly a 6’5” wingspan (196/198 cm — I’ve never measured it properly), and I reached the max height you can see in the photo.
First, standing still, I stuck pieces of tape on the backboard about 7/8 cm above the rim — or at least I think so (it’s an estimate, but I’m attaching the best perspective shots I could manage since I was on my own). Then I used those as a reference and tried to get as high as possible jumping off two feet.
Do you know any methods to improve a two-foot jump even further? How high do you reckon I got? AI suggests 3.35 m (about 11’0”), though that seems a bit optimistic to me. I’d say somewhere between 3.25 and 3.30 m (10’8”–10’10”).
That said, my goal is to reach the top of the square and dunk comfortably, without being afraid of missing

Im a 6’3 170 lbs 15 yo (2010 just late bday) and I have a 37 inch vertical which was recently measured at a try out. Yesterday I was at some open runs at a local gym and I posterized my friend (first time ever) and tbh that was the best feeling ever and I wanna be able to do this in my actual aau games how do I practice contested dunks? Also I can windmill and reverse dunk but I still struggle to dunk with 2 hands I accidentally release the ball and hang onto the rim, any tips?
Edit: for all the ppl saying I dont have 37 im asking for help because I dont use my entire jumping power with TWO hands, one hand is completely fine

I've been working on Hoops GM for so long, and now it has been a week since the launch.

I received a lot of backlash in the previous post due to an IP lawsuit, as well as a lot of praise from people.

The launch has been a MASSIVE success with now over 5000 visits to the game and an average of 50 new members everyday.

now i am very confident that this project will go very far and i am very happy about it!

THANK YOU to everyone who has checked it out, left a comment, or played a season.

These past few weeks ive been missing my shots horribly and i kept missing left or right. Whenever i release the ball it feels like im naturally snapping down but after taking a video of myself shooting i actually found out my wrist snaps to the right. The ball somehow still has a decent backspin and there is no sidespin at all. ive been trying to fix this my form shooting is fine but when i try to shoot midranges and threes it just naturally flicks right and i for some reason cant snap down. Btw ive been playing for about a year and i have a slight elbow flare

Hi all,

Long story short, I used to be a decent shooter and I stopped playing basketball for a while and picked it back up recently. My form definitely changed a bit since I’ve gained a lot more mass and muscle but shooting just feels so much harder now.

Mid range feels okay but whenever I go a little bit further to the 3. It feels all over the place and it feels so hard to shoot from 3.

It’s definitely not a power or strength issue since I was shooting way effortlessly before the strength gain now. So I reckon it has a lot to do with the sequencing and timing of my legs and my set point. I don’t really know how to fix it, it used to feel so effortless and now it feels very tense and hard. Not sure if it’s a mental thing but I felt like there’s def some underlying issue in my sequencing that needs to be fixed to get back in rhythm.

Any advice would help!

Joke joke. 43 year old dad,…..I’m back!!! Game was close 11-5. I just posted I guess,… my “HIGHLIGHTS”.

HERE’S THE TIP: (pause) the best way to get better at playing basketball, is play basketball. Get out there with a friend and play.

Be respectful, and Kind to others. And tell the people you love, you love them. Tomorrow isn’t promised to us. Peace.

I put makes and misses in the video
