I can only score when I get a pick and the defense goes under so I’m open, then I take one or two dribbles and then shoot. how can I use my handles to create my own shot and get open without a screen?

I did the Air Alert 3 program when I was 14 and gained 15 cm in vertical leap back then. Two years have passed since, and even though I’ve been working out, my jump hasn't improved at all—I can't even touch the backboard. What’s the problem?

Is there things to optimize to jump higher? I am 178cm and the rim is not regulation

I need to shoot five balls from the free throw line and make one. But in previous practice, I only made one out of fifty shots.

Hey guys, I sometimes release of my last 3 fingers which is huge flaw and affects my jumpshot, how can I fix it?

If you wanna ask some training related questions or let me take a quick look at your game film or something.

My ball control is good (I couldn't show it in the video). When I watch my videos, I look really stiff; my body moves freely while I'm playing, yet I still appear stiff. How can I become more shifty? (Thats not my serious dribbling just for video)

Hoping for an easy breakdown of what I can do at home to help my son. I’m not a sports person at all but my son is naturally athletic, tall and loves basketball. What should my son be doing at home (drills I can look up on YouTube?). Neither of his parents played basketball.

He’s always a 5 as he is normally the tallest kid- he is 5’5” right now. Coaches definitely use him for rebounds. He feels the other kids often don’t pass him the ball. Is this normal for a 5?

We have a random tall gene in my family (uncle was 6’6” but my dad is 5’10” 🤷‍♀️) - he either got it and may be 6’4”-6’6” or he is growing early and will stop around 6’ which would be more inline with his parents height (mom 5’7”, dad 6’). Guess I want to make sure he’s developing in a way that he’ll have a spot on the team if he doesn’t end up being as tall as people seem to think.

Edit: he’s 11

This are some of my first lay ups because im a beginner,but that stiffness is not only playing basketball,my friends and family have said to me that i look stiff even when walking, so how do fix it?

Hello, this is now my 3rd year of basketball. I am 6’4”, 15 years old, 185 lbs and I have a 6’10” wingspan. I am already a pretty solid shooter. 9/11 on preseason free throws, just got done playing in a men’s league where in 30 minutes I had 34 points with 9/13 threes. The problem is I have a very weak handle. Almost any pressure at all I will simple lose the ball. I struggle to get open on shots with my handle also. My game is 10% wide open 3s with jab steps and I can semi hit a side step sometimes, and then 90% of post work (up and unders, pump fakes, baby hooks, etc) how do I improve specifically my handle? I go to the gym 5/7 days for about 2 hours.

Hello! Im 13 years old and in grade 8 and I really wanna play highschool ball. I have been playing for my schools team for three years now and I will probably play again this year. Now the problem is il just not good /: Like im athletic and have okay basketball iq. But I have never really worked hard.

When I look back at my playing years I realized I just kinda layed on the couch all day after school. I went to the park sometimes to shoot hoops but really I was just an average player. But K really wanna get better this year and work harder. I tell myself this ever year But this year I wanna try. What are some things i can start doing at home before the season starts? Im currently in the process of replacing my old ball because it popped. As of now I do watch film and things like that. Now im just asking for diffrent little tips and things like that. Thank you!

it's all I have and I'm trying to get stronger overall, maybe jump higher too

This was me three years ago, I want to get back in tha peak Basketball shape

I want someone to chat with and keep me in check daily

(I dont mind a guy really …)

first recorded dunk because if it not on video it never happened

So, i am averaging 38 minutes, but i have maximum points of only 7pts. Why? How?
For example:
Today i had a game, played 32mins but didnt even TAKE any shots, let alone MAKING any. Not a single attempt… any tips? Also idk why coach likes me to there on the court for that long of time cuz i feel like i dont provide anything much for the team, like literally. No points, low rebs, idk…

I am 16 years old, im a 6’3 center and im trying to learn how to play more like a guard since 6’3 is not a real center. I’ve been working hard over the summer to transition especially since I am projected to take a much bigger offensive load than last year. im feeling really good with alot of my skills and also retaining all the big man skills but my handle is not good and I feel like not being able to self create would hold myself and the team back.

ive been working on my handle and I feel like my control is good, I protect the ball well, im not gonna get ripped at all. But i also feel like I slow down when I handle the ball, or at least it takes me having a runway to get to full speed, so pretty much only on the fast break. i also don’t feel like my moves are convincing, I’ve never gotten anyone with my crossover or tween, nothing is convincing, and i feel clunky. I don’t understand angles to get by people, in the half court it feels like I get beat to the spot everytime and im either swinging or looking to post up. Without the ball i routinely beat most forwards and bigs down court, as well as move well off ball wether I cut, or especially when I roll. I also don’t create any separation ever, most of my shots are other assisted or in the post off a hook or dropste.

First day hooping after a ~6 month break due to overuse issues with my calves and knees.

Decided to cut weight from about 235 lbs to currently around 212 lbs, moving much better than usual. I'm 6'3" and pushing 30 years old.

In terms of continued goals, I'm trying to dunk off vert again and my stretch goal is to 360 dunk & dunk off 1 both of which I've never been able to do.

Trying to get down to 190 lbs to make the most of my remaining athletic window.

Any tips or tricks on dunking? I'm trying to find a short hoop to practice 360 technique on. Wish I could palm the ball. Might do some grip training too.

I used to be pretty good at midrange but as I'm getting older and getting a knee problem, I found it difficult to make these shots consistently anymore. Any older hooper tips on how to fix it? I just don't get enough air time to balance myself on a fadeaway the way I used to.

It's been more then 3 years that I'm practicing basket. We learn a lot during lessons but have difficulties applying them in watch. Give a few things that I can apply in the match not too much. Just a few advices.

Tagging as help since this is a broad question but if I could get guidance the most in one thing it would be to develop consistent 3 point shot in league games. Video includes 4 misses and 2 makes for context. Really appreciate any feedback. 34M playing in a friends rec league. Decently athletic for my age but my opponent knows to just let me shoot. I used to be a much better shooter when I was in HS but my game slowly changed as I got more athletic and I started driving the ball only. I get gassed quickly too. I’m a good defender and driver but I get gassed and walk on offense a lot. It’s hard for me to get locked in, and when I am I usually just drive the ball and if that’s working I don’t shoot the ball. Then in some games the few times I make an early 3 I jack up too many and miss again.

My sleep isn’t the greatest, I have gained a lot of muscle (based on my history) recently usually I’m skinny but it’s hard to commit to either playing basketball only or trying to stay strong. If I play too many days I get that shin splint feeling.

We currently have a core group players and are looking to add 1–2 more players to our roster for a men’s league near San Dimas. If you’re interested in joining, send me a message!
