If you mean NBA players, try visiting a nearby strip club about an hour after the game.

Make sure you have the proper, comfortable stance and balance.\nSee the rim.\nExtend your wrist backwards.\nThe basketball should rest on your fingerpads.\nTry to keep your elbow in and under the ball\nUse your legs... the longer the shot, the more you use your legs.\nRaise the ball smoothly and in one, fluid motion.\nFinish high with your arm to get good "arc" on the shot.\nFlop your wrist with a constant, relaxed follow through to get that backspin for a "shooter´s touch".

2 suggestions:\n1) when you are looking down and doing your dribbles, pick out a small dent or mark on the floor and try to hit it all 3 times. This action of "aiming small" will make the hoop an easier target.\n2) Do some free-throws in your head when you find the time( when you wake up, when you are about to fall asleep, and before a game ) studies have shown that ppl who practice free-throws in their head before actually shooting shot 20% higher than those who did not  ;)

The best way of practicing before a game is to shoot around and do calf raises to make you faster and jump higher. All so do lay ups and practice your 3 pointers and jump shots

just chat casually with him, and once you get to know him ask him out. make up an excuse to talk to him. for instance is he plays a sport, say "i saw your game the other day you did really well' or something like that

The first guy who answered was retarded. If you want to get better you must\nA.)Practice your jump shot. Copy Jordan's. You must be able to jump in the air then shoot. That will enable you to do more difficult things like turn arounds, and fade aways.\nB.)Practice your ball handling. It may not always be fun, but unless you are 6 foot 8 you will need superior ball handling skills. You need a crossover and to be able to dribble with both hands.\nC.)Your inside game. The left handed lay-up will give you an edge because you will be able to go left or right. Work on hook shots, and floaters as well. \nD.)You must play people better than you and be willing to get your butt spanked for a while before you will learn little tricks they do and eventually surpass them through practice and hard work.\nE.)You must be in great cardio shape. Which means running a lot. Sprinting makes you faster.\n\n*Here's a little trick. Notice which foot your defender has closest to you and drive in that direction. They have less time to adjust that way. It's less effective to drive the other way unless you're gonna pull up and fade away, or your defender is slower than you.

Well since he play basketball then that makes it okay for you as a popular girl to go out with him.  What you can do is this, the next time you are together with him, reach out and grab his hand and pull him close to you and give him a big kiss.  That should get your message across to him

I think you should learn how to get your teammates involved. I know making buzzer beaters and shooting three pointers out of now where are cool but If you wanna win a title and get your name out there you need to learn on how to get your team to make more points and score ALOT. Maybe even more than you. Be there for your team but more importantly let your team be there for you.

Play as much basketball as possible. I mean alot of basketball. To get to the NBA, you have to have three thrings...Natural ability, strong work ethic, and lots of luck. And being over 6 feet doesn't hurt at all.

a good thing to do is to try to get the defender off of their feet if they are as tall as you.. so pump fakes work really good... another thing to do is a drop set since you are so tall it will be easier to do this all you have to do is step back and turn toward the basket while clearing you defender out without fouling.. another good move is a little hook shot just turn toward the inside and lay it in
