MadNice - Developing into a better Shooter

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Seriously though, the best advice is simply practice, practice, and then practice some more.

agreed, my jumpshot was developed through years of practice....95% of that practice was solo practice....whether it be under the floodlights, in the rain, the cold....there's no quick fix for being a good shooter....

Exactly. I suppose studying some training resources on shooting form wouldn't be a bad idea but the bottom line is once you find a shooting form that is comfortable, practice shooting as much as possible from all angles on the floor.

Even simple games like "Around the world" against yourself would serve as good drills to start out with but you should really being putting up a lot of shots from all over the court if you want be a strong shooter with range.

I didn't even think about that. Well, the advice is there for anyone who may have the same aim.

Oh and one little detail that many people tend to forget is the follow through. It is what every coach will mention about and it really does make a difference. :)

Of course, there have been some effective shooters who've had a rather unique form, including the follow through. I think ultimately you have to aim for a textbook form, developing a motion that works for you. No one would ever teach Shawn Marion's form but he makes it work.

Nearly all the great scorers didn't have the textbook form like Ray Allen. Who do you think has the best shooting form in the NBA?

Now that is one disturbing lolcat. I'd rank it #1 until I see another one which is more disturbing. It made me laugh though ;)

Favorite lolcats:
1. suicide bomber cat
2. serious cat (original)
3. joker cat - even though its serious cat, gotta love the Dark Knight reference.

The situation didn't really call for it, but given original serious cat gave Andrew the heebie jeebies, I couldn't resist not posting this one.

Especially with my painfully raging hardon for Batman Begins/The Dark Knight/Christian Bale/Christopher Nolan.

In a way, the Joker makeup lessens the impact with that one. I can't explain it, but for some reason I found the first one you posted really creepy. :lol:

It's lost a bit of its impact but it still disturbs me. I was waiting for the video to turn into a screamer though.

Same, expecting something to just pop out, like that car "commercial" or something

That's one of the more creative screamers out there. The ones with Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist are overdone (though effective if you're not expecting them).
