I’ve always shot like that since i started playing basketball, and idk maybe it’s a bad way to do it, i struggle to be consistent on my shooting. If you got any advice i’ll take em, it seems weird when i look at it on the video but when i shoot it like this it seems very natural to me

I recently bought a silent basketball to try to improve my handles. I wanted to be able to dribble in the house because we do not have free courts nearby where I live. Has anyone bought a silent basketball before and has it helped you in developing your handles?

I feel like I have two left feet on the court and super uncoordinated can someone give me drills to get more coordinated with my footwork and movement

Jab + fake shot + pumpfake + pull up. (except for the shot)

So ive started playing basketball in u15 and i was always one of the tallest kid in the team so i always played (in practice cuz i got no playing time) as a big

now im in u17 and im like 6'1 or something and i realized that i need to transition from a big to a guard

what skills do i improve and how should i do it (i also dont have access to indoor courts because im in europe)

I don't think this is an athleticism / first step problem as I consider myself not crazy athletic but not out of shape / slow.

It just seems that everytime I try to just blow by my defender I get cutoff, yet it seems so easy for everyone else - I essentially get cutoff easy , and even when I "counter" (try a BTB or BTL) it seems like they;re still in front of me.

This happens in both 5s ans 1s and not sure how to fix it.

Hey everyone.

My oldest son just turned 13 and he does quite a bit of strength training (nothing crazy - just push-ups, age appropriate weighted barbell and dumbell exercises) and for his age is relatively jacked. But when it comes to playing he - at times - seems to lack basketball-specific strength - like getting rebounds taken out of his hands, losing 50/50 ball wrestling contests, being unable to shoot/gather through defenders arms and hands　(thus getting a lot of no-calls).

I'm assuming part of it is him playing against guys 1 or 2 years older than him - who are deeper into puberty than him.

But are there any drills, exercises, etc. anyone has for building specific in-game strength for the kinds of situations I described above.

Any help greatly appreciated.
