You have to know somebody who knows somebody..or you could go to the Staple Center and ask for an application.

First pick Lebron, the best there is and strong for the playground.  Then Ben Wallace causr our the block you want him on your side, then Kobe cause dude can ball and to top it off give me Allen Iverson, heart of a lion which helps on the street.

Your biggest problem is Nowitzki is on your bench. That should NEVER happen, Morrison is okay for a rookie but seriously!!! You need a couple of better centers and maybe switch Parker into a utility spot and sit Cassell or Smith instead of Parker. Try to trade Shaq and Baron-he cant stay healthy and could get you a quality center but overall seems like a pretty good team and you should be in contention all season.

after playing division I basketball, u prolly won't get drafted by an NBA team\nafter college, ur best bet is to play in the NBA devlopmental league or the euro leagues\nfrom there, u can very well make it as a professional\nremember ben wallace went undrafted as well

well first of all it depends on what kind of league ur in.\nhead to head or rotiser. once you know that u gotta understand how to win in each. but these are some guidelines to drafting\n\nif your in the top 5 pick a star who you can ride throught the season. \n\nmake sure you get a quality Center as they are hard to come, and a quality pg. there are many of them, but some have horrible turnovers or fg percent and jack the 3 to much. so get a quality pg\n\nyou also need a flat out scorer like ray allen, redd, j-rich arena's the top scores will be taken, but someone who can put up 25 30 on any given night is key.\n\nremember you dont have to go in that order center pg scorer, just get the best possible person and look to take a chance like if you feel no will will pick up lets say mike bibby till the 4th round take him then, and get a better scorer. \n\nmost importantly remember this conversation\na steal in the nba is worth 10 points and a block is worth 7 points. i say this cause any person can average 30 to 20 points in a game, but the average steal is little less then 2, and blocks is little less then 3. so if you have lets say ak47 or ron artest who will get you like 1.5 steals and 2 blocks a game and still get you 20 points and 8 reboundsa i would take him him over a ray allen who gets you 26 points 3 threes and like 2 steals. \n\nand last pick players you like, i am a raptor fan and i hate what vince carter did to my team. so neva in the 3 years ive played fantasy have i traded for or drafted for that bitch carter.\n\nenjoy the season\nand then look for the best players availble.

It depends on  what position you play and who you like. \n\n#20 damon and salim stoudamire, raymond felton, gary "the glove" payton\n\n#21 hakim warrick, tim duncan, k.g., chris duhon or even the human highlight reel, dominque wilkins\n\n#22 rudy gay, mike "the 3" redd, and tayshaun prince\n\n#23 j. rich, quentin richardson, marcus camby, lebron and the man himself jordan\n\n#24 richard jefferson, antonio mcdyess, mo "shoot in yo' eye" peterson, andre miller, and "the kid" kobe\n\n#31 jason terry, shane battier, charlie villanueva, ricky "i got hops" davis and shawn "da matrix" marion\n\n#32 larry hughes, "rip" hamiltion, shaq and "the legend" magic johnson\n\n#33 mike miller, sheldon williams, grant hill, larry "big guns" bird, and scottie pippen\n\n#34 paul pierce, ray "i got 3's" allen, and "the big nasty" charles barkley\n\n#35 adam "da rookie" morrison\n\nso you got options, it just depends on who you want. good luck this year and make sure you PRAY, before, at halftime and at the end of each game. Tell GOD thank you for keeping you safe and breathing.

shoot the ball 1000 times every day, work on your passing.  also you got to be smart, if your a shooting guard your probably smaller than most other players so you have to make up for your size by shooting and being smarter than the other players.

First of all, it's great that you're out there playing every day after school... you'll never get better by sitting at home playing NBA 2K6 or whatever the latest version is.\n\nThis might not be easy (but few things that are worthwhile ARE), but ask the coach to show you some drills you can practice to improve the weaker aspects of your game... \n\nBelieve me, it is in the coach's best interest to help you improve, since you'll eventually be playing for him (we hope!).\n\nIf you're an exceptional rebounder, that's great! There are way too many players out there who don't play a good all around game because shooting is THEIR only skill. And they're a dime-a-dozen. \n\nCoaches consider good rebounders to be worth their weight in GOLD!  Forget Dennis Rodman, ever hear of a guy named Bill Russell?\n\nIf shooting is the weakest part of your game, then practice your shooting...\n\nBut don't worry about practicing 20 foot shots... if you're going to be a center, you need to be a proficient offensive player around the basket. Ask the coach to show you the proper way to shoot turn around jump shots in the low post position. \n\nAlso, work on being able to shoot with EITHER hand. If you can shoot with either hand while you're in close to the basket, it'll be a HUGE advantage for you in game situations. This way, you'll be able to shoot no matter where you are in relation to the basket (sometimes, you'll find that the only way to get a shot off is by shooting with your "off" hand, especially under the basket, in traffic). This will also enable you to get a lot of shots off without having them blocked.\n\nBut as I said, don't worry about outside shots, you can practice those once you get proficient around the basket (and they'll come easier once you develop a bit of a touch).\nBut DO practice free throw shooting. If you become a good offensive player around the basket, you'll find yourself at the free throw line more than you think. Especially if you're a good offensive rebounder!\n\nAsk the JV coach to work out with you one time after school...he'll be able to tell what your strong and weak points are, and then give you some exercises to improve your weak points. \n\nThe earlier post was also correct about upper-body strength. You will NEED this big time as a center.... the coach can put you on a weight workout routine (probably every OTHER day, not every day), but make sure you stick to what he tells you, and don't cheat, because you'll (all together now, kids) ONLY BE HURTING YOURSELF .... very good, kids.\n\nAlso, DO run a lot... but rather than running a mile every day (not that there's anything wrong with that), work on sprints.  \n\nBasketball is not a marathon, it's a game of starting and stopping. And it's the starting and stopping that tends to wear you out, especially if you're a big guy. \n\nIn practice, basketball teams run what they call 'suicide' drills... in this drill, which is a running drill, the players line up along one of the end lines... they then do the following:\n\n1) run and touch the nearest foul line (or a spot on the floor even with the foul line, this way the players can be spread out more)\n\n2) Run back and touch the starting line (end line)\n\n3) Run and touch the mid-court line\n\n4) Run back and touch the starting line\n\n5) Run and touch the foul line at the other half of the court\n\n6) Run back to and touch the starting line\n\n7) Run to the far baseline on the other end of the court\n\n8) Run back and cross the starting line.\n\nIf you don't have an actual court available, you can do this in your yard, or in the street (make sure there's not too much traffic of course!).\n\nThe distances to these points are: 15 feet to the nearest foul line, 47 feet to the mid-court line, 79 feet to the foul line furthest from the starting line, and 94 feet to the other end line.  And if

I love the game of basketball beyond what most people do.  I follow high school, college, and pro.  I played two years of Junior College basketball, and I've coached.  From the time I turned 14 til the day I turned 18 I played 8 hours a day during the summers.  Currently I am 8 autographs shy of having the Top 50 of All-Time.  My favorite autograph is a 16x20 of Larry Bird and Julius Erving-"Dr. J".  Other than God, family, and friends-basketball is my love.  If you love to play, I hope you put in the time to become the best you can be.  I

NEED to watch the Laker Game?\n\nNO, I think you already know the answer.  You need to sacrifice some immediate pleasures to ensure your longterm happiness.

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.

well you have do develop speed and quickness. try running sprints often. also ball control is very much needed. this can be achieved by dribbling 2 balls at once this will give you great ball control. then of course your shooting. just shoot 100 shots per area on the court. If you use to be a 4-5 and can achieve this you will be a good 1-2
