If you are taking longer shots toward the basket, then you will want to learn a jump shot. You jump then shoot the ball before you land. One hand holds the ball steady and the other pushes it toward the basket. You will also want your hand that pushes the ball to fall down giving the ball a rotation. \nIf you are taking higher percentage shots or shots closer to the basket, you will want to learn how to do post up moves. Plant your pivot foot (the foot you can't move) Depending on what foot you hold use the other foot to maneuver around your opponet and make a move for the basket. \n\nYou can also gain position on your guard by backing up toward the basket and then turn and shoot a quick jumpshot, or if you are close enough bank it off the glass for a layup.\n\nLayups are very important in basketball. You must be able to lay the ball on the glass so that it falls right into the basket. It is the highest percentage shot that can be done besides the dunk.\n\nWhen you pass the ball you want to either bounce it to a teammate or throw it. These throws need to be at least chest high. If you bounce it make sure that you aren't bouncing it from too far a distance.\n\nDribbling the ball is very important. You can't move down the court or anywhere on the court without dribbling the ball as you walk or run. If you pick up the ball after dribbling you can't start dribbling again. If you do it is called a double dribble and will result in a turnover to the other team. \n\nIf you catch a pass from someone you can move one foot and the other becomes the pivot. You can dribble anytime you want to even after using your pivot as long as you haven't dribbled yet.\n\nHave fun practicing! :) Watch the NCAA tourament and you will learn alot about ball handling and plays that can be run. Pick and Roll, Give and Go. All these things you should be able to watch and get a better understanding for. :)\n\nHope some of these things helped :)

Well that depends. Are you tryin to be a street balla or you just playin some one on one? An easy way to impress your friends is to pull a move on one of them and kinda embarass them. I was doin some moves on one of my friends in one on one and i had him on the ground so i went right by him lol. I aint the street balla type so if thats the type of moves you lookin for look at other answers. But just practice between the legs behind the back and look up some other dribbling drills and in games you can do moves like fake crossovers, one or two hands. or another one to do is if you get good at putting it back and forth between your legs just keep puttin it in between your legs and wait for him to lean one way then fly right by him to the hoop. you can also try the behind the back, spin moves, etc. look some moves up on the internet or id reccomend the Better Basketball Better BAll Handling video. you can download it on limewire..

Just practice as much as you can and dribble the ball all the time before you know it you will be doing it naturally

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

start by practicing your approach to the basket without a ball. timing and movement are more important than anything else at this point. you need to time your foot work with your layup. after about a couple days or so use the ball. this will help you judge more accurately the timing you need to let go of the ball on the height of your jump toward the basket. of course doing this with your left hand if you are right handed will take some time to master but it will help. good luck

Try doing long tackles...Take a running dive at a tackle dummy. Concentrate on hitting the dummy at the waist line. Do high jumps...take a run at a basketball goal try to hit the backboard in the same spot every time. With a fellow player do shuck and jive...have you friend do sudden cuts and turns while you try to stay within 3 ft. Have someone throw a ball over your head or off to one side while you attempt to either swat the ball away or catch it. I used these to make the varsity squad as a 140 pound 5 ft 4 inch freshman who only did the 100 in 12 sec.

You need a partner for all 3 of these drills.\n\nSwitch Hand Dribbling:\nHave a person defend you and go after your dribbling hand to practice you switching over. Make sure you do enough reps to practice both hands and moving the ball from both hands. Try to add in a jab step or a move to counter once you get the hang of it.\n\n\nCatching low basketballs:\nHave someone pass low to you, what you need to do is trap the low ball. Even if you have to, tap it to start a dribble, just to slow the ball up. Try to catch it and go, waste no time. Remember, always know where you are trying to get and get there, relentlessly.\n\n\nFinishing quick after catch:\nHave 1 defender and 1 passer. Have the passer pass from all angles and to all angles, once you catch it, just move. You aren't going to achieve anything standing there. A good defender defends the after-pass defense and not the actual pass. Once you get the ball, just jab in, explode in. Once you're in, you will see that it left NO time for the defender to react and the upcoming defender is your next assignment.\n\n\nOnce you achieve these steps, you need to learn how to finish big, or how to get contact and get to the line. It's tough, but it should work

Before you shoot from a few feet away, try shooting under the basket and hitting it off the backboard. Make atleast ten shots in a row(if you miss one, start over) and move a little farther(like a step or something) and try not using the backboard if you are not comfortable with the distance. Repeat this and you will see improvement in your shot and control of the ball.\n\nGreat Luck to You.

speed drills, dribbling drills, and passing drills.\n\nspeed drills - you run a lot so you get used to the speed that your legs give you and you won't get tired easily in the game. run around the basketball court maybe minimum 5 times and your running speed will increase and gradually become easier for you. Oh and suicides are good too. (If you don't know what that is..its kinda complicated to explain because i've never explain it before...so you'll figure it out or look it up)\n\ndribbling drills (this may help you a lot) -  take the basketball, starting it in your strongest hand and dribble down the court without losing it until you reach the baseline at the other end. then pivet and crossover it to your opposite hand and repeat what you just did. you can also do that by dribbling with your strongest then crossovering it to your weakest around the b-ball court running or walking. \n\ncrossover drills - well, lets say your strongest hand is your right. start out dribbling to up diagonal right. take about three steps and then crossover to your left and go up diagonal left and take another three steps then crossover it to your right and continue the procedure. that'll help your crossover passes hopefully :]\n\npassing drills - just get a buddy and stand a distance away from them then either bounce pass, overhead pass, chest pass, and any other ways of passing to them. You can do that standing still at first. Then, you stand at the left or right side of the b-ball court and your friend stands at the left or right. then, if you or your friend has the ball, you begin running sideways down the court bounce passing it, chest passing it, overhead passing it, etc. all the way until you reach the end of the base line and do that again on your way back switching sides if you please.\n\nHope that helps! Sorry, i had to get that all from memory of the kind of practices/drills that I practice. :]

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.
