How Can I improve my Jumpshot?

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.

it doesn't matter what pose you have.. as long as you got that "feeling", it'll always work for you..

That feeling gives you confidence to shoot it.

You can practice form by doing that wall bouncing practice, and you can practice by urself shooting with one hand, rolling the ball off your fingers and flicking your wrists, because sometimes, if you're not strong enough, you tend to compensate and your off hand kind of pushes the ball as well, so try with one hand, starting close like 3 or 4 feet from all angles and gradually move back.
You can also do this before games to get warmed up before you start taking proper shots.

Why are people giving advice.. I said disregard what tehy say and follow my 7 easy steps and you'll be the best shooter on the block!
  • Get a cell phone
  • Call up the local Coke dealer
  • Buy an ounce of illest blow
  • Line up 15 rails on the kitchen counter
  • Snort the coke
  • Close your eyes everytime you shoot
  • You're better than Reggie Miller now

Preparation will only take you so far. After that you've got to take a few leaps of faith.

Meh, i'm a two handed shooter , My form is horrible , but my shots go in . Thats what matters I guess . Shoot how your comfortable dude . I tried to shoot normally once , didn't work out to well . So I'm sticking with my two handed shot.
