Practice shots that you'd take in a game. Stand still, catch and shoot. Stand still, catch, dribble and shoot. Catch while on the move and shoot. Catch while on the move and fake or just go right into the dribble and then shoot. And, creating off of fakes (while a pivot foot is planted). Make sure you square up to the basket when shooting. Both feet should be pointing at the basket, and your body should square up to it. Make sure your power is coming from your legs, not your arms. Remember to follow-through on your shot. Practice like crazy. And be intense. Don't be lazy, work hard. If you half-heartedly practice getting shots off, they won't be very effective when a tough defender is near you in a real game

I'll say right now you can't really compare yourself to LeBron James, maybe you play like him but you can't really compare yourself.  But you really can't ask what your chances are online because none of us have seen you play against other people or even by yourself.  I'm not saying you're not good, but no one in their right mind can make a decision on if you could be in the NBA until we actually see you play.  But keep in shape with lots of conditioning, shooting, and keep lifting.  You can get a lot of notice if you're good enough to attend the ABCD camp, or especially if you're good enough to be in the McDonald's High School All Star Game.\n\nTransferring might increase your chances of being noticed.  I'd say Mt. Zion in Florida, just because a lot of good players have come out of there.  But usually Christian academys have some great players.  Check out this months SI and they have some outstanding information about good high schools for basketball players.

Go to Duke, there is such energy, and you are guaranteed to go through a good season through at least sweet 16 in the NCAA tourney.  Coach K is the best, too.

First of all...congrats on trying out for the team! That's great that you're willing to try something new.\n1) you have to dribble the ball when walking (bounce the ball) if you take more than to steps without dribbling then its a travel\n2) get the round thing through the round thing! \n3) there are 2 hoops. one is for your team and the other hoop is for the other team. make sure you know which direction you're going.\n4) you can't stop dribbling and then start dribbling again...its called a double dribble\n5) There are five people from your team on the court at a time. ask your coach what the different positions are that he would want you to play.\n6) Each shot is worth 2 points, unless it's outside the three point line which means its worth three points. Free-throws are worth 1 point.\n7) there are four quarters in a game. The different times of them vary a little.\n\nThere are a lot more rules, but it would take me a long time to explain all of them. I hope you make your team. Remember, coaches like it when you show them that you work hard and do what they tell you to. Just work hard and have fun!! DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

Deffinatly play!  Number one it shows great detication, which will help for next year.  Also it will help you improve, you can't get any better if you just give up because your friends arn't on the team.  In my middle school for modified basketball we have an A and  B team and I was put onto the B team, and I hated it!  But I stuck thought it and played, and now I'm a starting point guard on my Highschool Varsity team.  So deffinatly stick with it no matter what, if you love the sport just practice a lot.

You should do plenty of layups, make sure you can do it both right handed and left handed.  Do lateral side skips (as if you were defending someone)...actually, here's what you should do:  rent "Hoosiers" and you will see all the classic basketball drills when he's whipping the team into shape.  Those drills are still relevent today...if you do them, you will be better prepared for tryouts.  Or you could order the instructional videos at www.betterbasketball.com\n\nAs for endurance, if it's too cold to run, you could do jumping jacks for 20 minutes or more indoors.  Or skip rope.  Or you could get to the basketball gym early and run laps, or stay late and run laps.

submit  your  biodaata to the  NBA and  write  a letter to the  management of NBA and  then  wait  for your  call if they  want  to let  you   enter the  NBA

Typically there are no try-outs for NBA teams.  Most often, a player obtains an agent and declares himself eligible for the draft.  The teams will have workouts and scrimmages to watch the players in action.  \nYou can ask them for more details via email here:\nhttp://www.nba.com/email_us/

When it was in Asheville you just picked up an application at the arena or call the office of the team....They hold open try outs and the competition isn't as good as you would think at the try outs. If he goes tell him to be a ball hog and not give it up if he wants to be noticed.

http://www.guidetocoachingbasketball.com/\n\nstart here.  click the links and learn what you can about skills, drills and strategies.\n\nPractice playing.  If you cant get in a game, practice by yourself: shooting and dribbling and passing against a brick wall.\n\nif you have the money, order a fundamentals dvd.  make sure the coach who produces the video is a good college or pro coach or former player.\n\nmost importantly, the NBA playoffs are gong on now.  WATCH the game as the pros play it.  and listen to the commentary.  basketball is 50% physical and skilled and 50% mental.  and any real player will tell you the same.\n\nGood luck.
