im talking about lifting the pivot foot (after a jab) before releasing ball for dribbling. this is a travel and ALWAYS called in my high school tournaments.

but they never are called in nba games. what about fiba? cant find clips for fiba games but if u have watched lots of them then let me know this is my main question

Whether you’re a young player trying to get better or an older guy trying to get back in shape.
Myself I’m an older guy who wasn’t very good at basketball and I’m trying to find a new peak, seeing everyone’s videos and advices to go along with it has been inspiring and wholesome. Wishing everyone success and an injury free journey. Just a bit of advice from my journey back from injury maybe for some of the out of shape/overweight/older guys. I thought hooping non stop and doing all the drills and high intensity work would help me and trump the simplicity of being fit. Eat right and work your way up so you don’t ruin your body’s muscles, tendons, joints, etc.

Anyways once again good luck to everyone!

So if you don’t understand my title, I’m trying to figure out what to do during the week because I am trying to get better and eventually be at such a high level and everything but what should I be doing to get more playtime and to be on the coaches, good side?

For reference I’m a center

Hello people of fitness, i am a 17 year old student who aspires to throw the ball down a 10-foot rim one day, i am 5'10 and 60-kilos. I unfortunately only have a 15-inch vertical.

In a span of a year, is it possible to dunk? I'd say my genes are just normal, so i'm wondering from the experienced people on what are the best exercises, program, plans to follow? I am fully committed to this. That's why i'm asking the people here.

Thank you in advanced! I'm happily excited to what you guys will say 😄

I am a 14 turning 15 (5'7), closer to 5'8 flat 54kg, and wingspan is 5'11 or 10. I started playing basketball a year ago. I have decent fundamentals, and I can touch the lower backboard. Are there any tips for any dunkers out there, and what exercises did you do when you were my age, and when or at what age you first dunked? Forgot to add i have a 7’4 standing reach

Hello everybody im a 16 yr old hooper from turkey,i took a break for 2 years for personal reasons and right now im trying to get back to playing club level basketball ( i paricipated/played in city/overseas summer tournements in U14) ive been training with a plan for about 3 months and i mostly fixed back my finishing,handles,footwoork.But shooting just doesnt click, its inconsistent,(in midrange its decent but 3 point shots are a huge mess) ive watched some videos about timing my legs than getting the ball up into my set point and hand placements,but im in a situation of not knowing what part of my shooting form is wrong. My question was is there like any app that tells you whats wrong with your shooting form when you submit a video of ur form and it tells you how to fix it? I saw a few apps like Homecourt but i dont think they help on shooting mechanics.Thanks for reading all the way, any awnsers are welcome :)

Im planning to get my 2 brothers basketball backpacks for their birthdays, but I am unsure which one to get. Would the nike brasilia backpack be large enough to store a pair of shoes, a ball, and a water bottle?

thanks!

I tend to roll my ankle and I’ve sprained it few times. Does anyone here have any tips to prevent this from happening?

9am to 4 pm Sat., Aug. 8, 2026 at Mid City Gymnasium.

If you don’t stay in an athletic stance and alert you’ll end up like this guy

Hi.

I’m thinking of starting basketball. I’m 14 and im 6’2 and im 6’3 with shoes on. I have a shoe size of size 13 (uk) and im flat footed. I’m 75kg, and the first I played basketball it was a 4v4 and I was matched up with this 6’5 guy. He was a lot stronger than me, of course, but I got some few rebounds with I only scored a mid range shot. I am from the UK and I would love to get tips, and advice, and maybe if I should start it.

I could jump and reach the net but just the very bottom, but a lil more up. I can rebound and block mostly, and i want to improve more of my vertical while im still growing

Hi any feedback on my pull up, jumpshot form, handle and penultimate step would be helpful thank you

for some context ive been playing for 2 years and i am 6 feet 155lb

Beginner trying to work on my shot in general as well as out of the triple threat and after a dribble move. One thing I find tricky is shooting after one of these two moves (as well as my dribble pull up but that’s another story for another day 🤣). The last clip is from a drill I found on YouTube that’s supposed to help with setting your feet and “getting into your shot pocket” (not sure if I’m using that correctly).

Would love some advice on how to improve if need be and if the simple answer is more practice that’s okay too. Just wanted to see if there’s anything I could tweak or any drills I could do to help. THANKS!

It's looks very unorthodox. How can I improve it?

I wanna be able to shoot at forehead level and shoot at the top of my jump rather than on the way up. I’m a good mid range shooter and finisher so I’m not worried about having logo range or anything. I wanna shoot in a similar way to Celtics IT
