In the NBA, after a shot attempt, can you get you own rebound if the ball hits nothing or is that traveling?

No you cannot. It's not traveling it's a less known call known as a "self-pass".

It was Juliues Erving or Dr J that made the famous move not Larry Bird. He did it in the Game 4 of the 1980 NBA Finals against the LA Lakers.\n\nThe famous Larry Bird shot is probably the one where he rebounds his own miss, switches the ball to his other hand while still in mid-air and lays it in. That was in Game 1 of the 1981 NBA Finals against the Rockets and was called the "greatest play I have ever seen" by former Boston coach Red Auerbach.

Lay flat on the floor with your feet flat on the floor bent at the knees, take the ball in your hands in shooting position and practice shooting toward the ceiling.  The goal is for the ball to return to your hands in the original shooting position w/o having to move your hands from position.  You should have perfect rotation and perfect form in this process.  Do a hundred with each hand each night.  I improved my free throw percentage in college from 50% to 85% in one year.  It also strengthened my shot.

Depends on what level they play. In college there is a device called the possession arrow that changes directions every time a jump ball situation arises. The team with the arrow gets the ball & the possession arrow changes to the other team so if a jump ball situation occurs again the other team will get the ball. That was done to supposedly speed up the tempo of the college game (mainly before shot clocks were instituted at the college level). In the NBA, a jump ball is just that - but normally the ref will call a foul on one of the players involved.

I would say try to move around on offense, and try to get open where you know you can make a shot. If you don't have a nice touch or are not a 3 point shooter, obviously it does you no good to get open there. However, if you get open within your range, how could they not pass to you? Also, make smart choices. If you teammate has a better look give him the ball. Always look for who has the best shot or the weakest defensive matchup against them.

Shoot the basketball every day. Practice driving into the lane and laying the ball into the basket. Also practice your rebounding. Try to improve your vertical leap and quickness off the dribble. When you are in a basketball game, shoot the ball with confidence. Don't be thinking that you are going to miss your shot. Be thinking that the ball is going to go in the basket.

In a layup you take ONE step..\nYou lift your leg the second time.\njust remeber not to take two steps then lift your leg.\nthat IS a travel.\nalso if you pump fake DON'T JUMP!\nthat is a travel\nif you lift you heels that's ok..\ni see where your getting at with trying to make it more realistic

Do you and your partner only use sports metaphors in the bedroom? Is getting lucky a slam dunk? Do you try to score every night. If you don't get enough do you become a basket case, or do you just bounce off the wall? Is she right down your alley, or are your thoughts in the gutter? Do you try for a hole in one with a stiff putter? Is this the fairway to do things? You just bowl me over sometimes. Remember there is a penalty for high sticking.

Not as simple as the previous answers.  The pass must directly lead to a made shot.  You usually don't give an assist if the player that receives the past has to work to get open to take the shot.  It's judged on a case by case basis.

The lay up shot is a very common type of shot used in basketball.  You never get much of a chance to take a shot at the net from a standing still position.  You usually have to find an opening and move in quickly.  If you do the lay up shot correctly it almost always scores.  It is a very difficult shot to learn because you have to dribble, know when to jump and aim for the sweet spot on the backboard.\n\nTrust me, it is almost always an effective shot.  Try standing still, and throw the ball at that sweet spot.  The ball always goes in.

This is an easy question. There is but only 1 shot that looks best and its only done in perfection by one person. The shot I'm talking about is the pattented, "KOBE BRYANT TURN-AROUND FADE AWAY JUMPER". It is unguardable....period!!!

do either a fake shot pass dribble and or maybe even do a hesitation dribble....that works evertime and then after doing it bust you butt down the court to get a good shot!!!!

A deadball rebound occurs on a first foul shot when the ball is "dead" and the team taking the foul shots is automatically going to get another shot.

not unless your player has the ball. If the player doesn't have the ball in his hands, it does not count as a turnover, it just turns the ball over, without counting for stats.
