100+ SHOOTING LESSONS
FROM THE BEST IN THE WORLD How To Shoot a Basketball Like a Pro – ECBAHoops.com
HAS A 20-POINT SHOOTING CHECKLIST...
...CLAIMS THERE'S NO SECRET POTION
"I think
the secret to shooting is finding a shot you
can make exactly the same every single
time and then do it a whole lot. There's no
secret potion to it all." - Kyle Korver
find your own shot
"You just gotta find something, however you are, like, whatever
feels good to you, but shoot it so you can make it the exact same every
single time." - Kyle Korver
eye the
bottom of the
rim
"Look at the bottom of the rim. There are always three hooks facing you no matter where you are
on the court. That’s almost the width of the basketball. This promotes better arc because I know I have to get it up in the air to get it on my target. That’s what your eyes are looking at." -
Steph Curry
when 100 >
500
Shooting 100 game-speed shots
is more valuable than 500 lazy
shots. lazy shooting is a waste of
time. - Jeff Hornaceck
shoot with
your
fingertips
"Shoot with your fingertips. It’s the same
thing when you’re dribbling. You don’t
really dribble with the palm of your hand.
You dribble with your fingertips because
you have more control." - Steph Curry
BALANCING ACT
"The key to
being a good
shooter is
balance.
Everything
follows
balance."
- Larry Bird
THE ELBOW
ELBOW IN, UNDER THE BALL
SHOULDER, ELBOW & RIM ALIGNMENT STRAIGHT SHOT =
STRAIGHT ELBOW -> STRAIGHT SHOT
POINT A TO POINT B
you can shoot a straight shot from any spot on the
floor if you keep your elbow straight (in, not out)
Think of your shooting shoulder, elbow and the
Reggie Miller and Peja Stojakovic are 2
exceptions to the rule: don't stick your shooting
elbow out like a chicken wing.
Fire shot with one hand
As your shooting elbow crosses the eye
level, take your off hand off the ball so that
you release with just the shooting hand
primarily. The longer you keep the guide
hand on the ball the more likely it will
misguide your shot.
spread
fingers and
hands wide
on the ball
"Chip Engelland (Spurs shooting coach) taught
me to spread my hands out a little wider on the
ball and use my index fingers more than my
middle finger. It made me a more consistent
shooter by allowing me more control over my shot
and making it far less likely that the ball would slip
and roll off my pinky fingers." - Steve Kerr
Shooting Tricks?
The Perfect form?
life hacks?
"Don't look for the big, quick
improvement. Seek the small
improvement one day at a time. " -
Coach John Wooden
visualization: daydream
shots going in
In practice and in games take the shots
you're most likely to get and take. If you're
a big man who likes to take flip shots,
bank shots, hook shots etc… see yourself
making these shots before taking them.
Picture yourself before games while taking
deep breaths and eyes closed making
shots from your primary shooting spots.
Feel yourself in the actual moments with
the defense the crowd the shot clock
running down making that shit!
go straight up, come
straight down
As you come off the catch, or pull up for a
shot off the dribble, your momentum can
carry you forward, backward, or to the
sides. Use your feet to re-gain balance, by
planting your toes and raising your heels
up.
As you go up for the shot, go straight up,
perpendicular to the floor, and land down
and forward, so you don't fire your shot too
much to the left or right, or too short or
long.

dirk shot
“I came up with a shot where I just have to
basically lean back, don’t be athletic at all
and just hoist it up."
“I came up with my own ‘Dream Shake’ I
guess — the white version.”
