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.

F#kc that, don't relax, you need to focus, right now you are choking, when you shoot layups you need to go up like no one is around you and just focus on getting the ball on the glass. You need to play with confidence and under control....You will be fine.

peopl play basketball becuase it is a sport that not every body is good at also becuase it is a sport that needs hand eye cordination so people with those type of skills also enjoy basketball. I also i like playing basketball because no matter what state you are in basketball is a popular sport?

It takes a lot.  You need to shoot tons of jumpers, work on your handles, know when to pass and when to shoot, when to go to the hole and when to stop and pop.  You gotta watch a lot and play a lot.  You always need to try new things as soon as you are good at what you have.  Ball is about getting better all the time and the best thing for it is practice and play.

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!!!!

Your local rec center.  There will be places to shoot around alone, or play with different types of competition.  Also try renting a couple of basketball tip dvds from your local blockbuster if you need induvidual skill improvement.

I bet you are probably the most over-hyped, over-rated, Least talented player ever on Yahoo Answers.  I have never seen you play but the one thing I know is that you're all talk.  You may talk big, but you have not proven one thing to me.  I have never even seen you make a shot, which brings up the question Are you even able to make a layup?  If not then you can't play ball.  \n\nI mean look at your question.  You made a whole lot of grammatical mistakes:\n\nCapialize all of the i's,\nspace in between 170 and cms,\nspace in between 43 and kgs,\nCapitalize the D in do,\nthe period after basketball should be a question mark,\nyou misspelled good,\nspace between comma and passing,\nand finally you did not end with a period.\n\nAll of these mistakes in your grammer leads me to believe that you did not put a lot of focus into asking the question.  How can I be sure that you have the same lack of focus on the court?  \n\nYou also have not proved to me that you are a team player.  From the question it sounds like it is all about you:\n"I am 170 cms"\n"do you think I can play..."\n"I have..."\n\nYou might just be a totally selfish player who only cares about himself.  \n\nOne more thing, You probably can't even do a 720 dunk.  I've seen a guy who wasn't even in the NBA and he could do a 720 dunk.  \n\nMY final advice:\n\nKid, you got a lot of growing up to do.

I COULD NEVER PLAY BASEKBALL NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRACTICED. I FINALLY GAVE UP ON BASEKBALL AND TOOK UP BASKETBALL. ALTHOUGH I BECAME A FAIR BASKETBALL PLAYER, I NEVER GOT OVER MY FAILURE AT BASEKBALL.

Yes!! It's kinda like yours. Mine is Basketball! Everytime I play the game it's like nothing else matters. I don't care where I am or who I'm with. My life problems don't matter anymore. When I have my hand on the ball reality isn't real anymore. It's weird. I never thought I would like something so much. My favorite things to do is Box out and play underneth. My favorite shot is Free throw becuz I don't have to worry about anybody grading me.

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.
