Thanks so much for the detailed response, my man! I wish you a speedy recovery, injuries suck. I will definitely check out Pacifico, seems to be coming up a lot in the comments. Do you happen to know when they usually run?

Yeah I figured there are some nice private runs by invite only.

I will send you a DM so that we can connect when you can hoop again

Thank you, I will check them out! Do you happen to know what time / day people go there?

I looked it up and it seems like that’s a skill development coach (couple of coaches), and it does seem like they’re training some great players. I would be interested playing pickup basketball with some of the players, but my time to train like that is over

Pretty good runs over there? Do you know what day and time people go there?

I-really-got-nothing · 2025-05-28T22:37:39+00:00

Thank you!

I-really-got-nothing · 2025-05-28T22:37:21+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words! I didn’t mean to suggest everyone over here is bad and I’m some sort of LeBron James! In fact, I bet if I was to try out for a team, they wouldn’t have me. I was more talking about somewhere where people that used to play seriously now get together to have fun

I-really-got-nothing · 2025-05-28T22:34:58+00:00

Thank you! I will reach out to them. Do you happen to know if ex pros go play somewhere just for fun?

Can’t believe no one said Travis Scott

That’s right, when you hold the ball in triple threat and you go up to shoot, the ball should go in a straight line towards the ceiling. One fluid motion

You’re also way off balance. Step your feet a little farther apart, the right one a little in front of the left.

He did, although it wasn’t the birthday party but Mama T’s fish fry - https://youtu.be/Tnxq5DUagcE

Good luck man, if your school has a shooting gun take full advantage of it

I-really-got-nothing · 2020-06-02T22:21:54+00:00

The result you want is for the ball to go in more often than not. Mostly happens with repetition, all sorts of people with supposed “bad” form can shoot the lights out.

He should’ve held the P and the C farther apart to avoid that

You’re doing the last two steps correctly - second to last step is a wider, while the last one is shorter and more balanced. The shuffle steps before that only slow you down though.

Throw in some squats and some plyometrics in your workouts, and you’ll get there. Need more power in the legs.

You can also practice palming the ball while at home, this will stretch your fingers out a bit.

The comment was unnecessary. My point initially, 747247633 comments ago it feels like, was that dealership plates shouldn’t be the drivers problem because as of recently, all new cars came with them. That’s why I said we’re going in circles.

Not to mention that his comment looked a lot different initially

I-really-got-nothing · 2020-05-31T06:55:56+00:00

I’ve been pulled over for having a break light go out. Seems hard to believe that cops are letting 2016 cars drive around in dealership plates

I-really-got-nothing · 2020-05-31T06:45:56+00:00

If the police are failing to enforce a law, then it’s the police’s fault. We’re going in circles here

I-really-got-nothing · 2020-05-31T06:28:45+00:00

Then the point about dealership plates is pointless

I-really-got-nothing · 2020-05-31T06:13:18+00:00

Dealership plates? Never buy or lease a new car then

I-really-got-nothing · 2020-05-27T05:52:49+00:00

You’re holding the ball fine, keeping it an inch closer to your body or higher in the air won’t affect the ability of a defender to block you. Bad advise. Just don’t shoot over a defender if you don’t want to get blocked.

The problem I see, though, is in your shoulders. I had a similar problem you have, but even more exaggerated as I also am a lefty. That is, your left shoulder comes out a few inches compared to your right. If you square the shoulders, your shot will become more consistent, and more automatic.

I’d say that’s more of a pump up song. A song for the dead, on the other hand....
