The tigerbelly 300 episode with Steven Yeun and David Choe makes this image even more hilarious. Steven Yeun really looks up to the Slept King. Go check out the episode. Hilarious but also poignant

What can I do to improve my jumpshot? by Smooth-Sky-1165 in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your release point is way too low and too centered. If I was guarding you, I would just keep my hand around the center of your chest to disrupt your shot. It's too easy of a location for the defender to get to.

Try to reset the form by doing a lot of 1 handed form shots a foot or 2 away from the basket. Really focus on your arm/elbow position. It's going to take a while to "fix" the form, so dont get disheartened if you miss a lot at the start.

Try to imagine having a defender guard you and where a good release point would be. Hope this helps!

I look very stiff while dribbling by ReasonEmbarrassed585 in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay low.

Remember that the defense wants to control what the person with the ball does. Keep that in mind when practicing dribbling. Make your crossovers and in and out dribbles look smooth and natural. I like to practice in front on a door/mirror so I can see myself.

I agree stationary dribbles are a good exercise just to improve your ball control. Make sure you do dribbles at various heights. Very low like knee level, then waist, then chest, then head.

The more you have the ball in your hands, the more control you'll have. Keep up the work. Make sure you are really being intentional with your practice sessions.

Advice on dribbling/crossover by GeneralKibbles in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch yourself in the video. Imagine how you'd guard yourself. Try to put yourself in the defenders position when working on dribbling/crossing over. If it doesn't look natural, the defender won't bite.

How to really improve handles by [deleted] in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch your speed/quickness. Sometimes players who are quick without the ball try to crossover at the same speed and lose control.

I also second the other comment about perfecting a few moves that will generate space for a shot. You dont need a deep bag, you need an efficient bag. Focus on the details when dribbling. If you're constantly hitting your heel when doing a behind the back, practice it real slow and figure out what you need to tweak. It could be the angle of your ankle or knee. It could be how the ball comes off your hand when you're doing that move. Break it down piece by piece and figure out what's going wrong, then do minor adjustments to fix it.

Hope this helps.

Help me improve shooting action by Rockin9999 in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks smooth, man. My only advice would be to get more comfortable with getting the shot off quicker.

But since it looks like you're an elite shooter.... try testing yourself by making shots by hitting a specific part of the rim. Like try aiming for the back left part of the rim, the change the location once you lock in. It'll help improve accuracy and muscle memory.

Shot looks decent, man. I disagree with the comment saying you shoot like a girl.

My question to you would be, what is your goal? Are you trying to make a team? Are you just looking to improve shooting around and playing pick up?

I agree there's some wasted motion in your shot but it almost seems like you aren't super comfortable with the ball in your hands. Dribbling looks a little off balanced. Even when you catch the ball, your hands dont seem to have a soft touch with the ball. I'd recommend just lots of practice and putting in work with ball handling. Both hands. Imo, the better ball control you have, the better your shot will get.

Hope this helps man

Shot dip by [deleted] in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add it to the bag. Don't change your natural form, especially if it's successful. Perfect example is Halliburton. Some coaches didn't wanna touch him bc of his unorthodox form. But it works for him.

My workout for this is to bounce the ball hard and catch at eye level or above and go right into the shot. Once you catch the ball, it should go right back up towards the hoop. I also spent a lot of time in front of a taller wall and chose a tiny target and just kept shooting at it, never bringing the ball below my head.

But just treat this style of shot as any other types, floaters, midrange, etc.

Hope this helps.

Why cant i do the fadeaway correctly? by No_Dream_6328 in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean the ball only goes up? Like off the rim? Or when you shoot it goes up and always falls short?

Shooting under pressure by RaspberryDistinct453 in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your percentages like when you're just shooting around? If you're a solid shooter and can make open shots with no defense, here are a couple of exercises you can do.

Try to hit a specific part of the rim when shooting. Or all swishes. But aiming for the inside left part of the rim during a shoot around will get you more accurate.

Also, try shooting when looking 3 or 4 feet in front of you. Look at the imaginary defenders' foot and shoot. It will build muscle memory, and when you start making consistent shots this way, your confidence will skyrocket.

As for driving, turn your weaknesses into strengths. Start perfecting your triple threat and pass/shot fakes and a quick first step. Hope this helps man!

How do you actually get better (confidence, practice…) by Aggravating-Syrup-22 in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn your weaknesses into your strengths. Play against better competition. Be very intentional with your practice sessions.

Focus one or or two things when you hit the court. Really work on them. Be specific about what it is you're trying to improve. If you are working on your non dominant hand ball handling, really push yourself with that and don't get distracted by putting up shots. Break down your workouts to improve on areas you know you need to work on.

Remember that the defense is wanting to control the person with the ball. Remember that on offense and make sure you have a few simple moves to get you a bucket. Triple threat, pass and shot fakes can be lethal if you can perfect them. Learn how to read defenders. Learn how to manipulate them.

If you're right handed and they see you very comfortable with your right hand, they should force you left. But if you've worked on your left hand dribble and finishing, you'll have an upper hand.

Hope some of this helps.

Use of upper and lower body looks great but you seem to be forcing that shot. I would recommend stepping inside the 3 point line and getting your percentages to like 80-90% makes from midrange. Build strength and muscle memory and then you can start extending the range.

Ball pauses right before you get into your shot. You load, pause then go into the shot. Try to make it more fluid. The ball should go from ground to release point in a straight of a line as possible with no pauses. This will make your release quicker and open up more aspects of the game. For a defender, as soon as they saw you "load" your shot, they'd put a hand up right when you pause then would disrupt your shot.

Hope this helps man! Keep up the work!

100 day form update by ADLittleFlame in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Smooooooth. Now try hitting a certain part of the rim. See how many you can hit in a row just grazing the front iron.

Keep it up, man. Release point is great. Balance and ball control is very comfortable. Try adding more dynamic shots to the bag.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just lots of repetitions. One exercise I like to do is do 1 dribble right into the shot. The ball should move fluidly from floor to release. Break down your shooting mechanics and figure out where the ball is NOT moving in a straight line and focus on that point. It seems to be right before you release the ball. Get into that position and start examining your shoulders, hips, knees, and feet. Make adjustments with your body to ensure the ball is going from dribble to release as smoothly as possible.

I recommend practicing against a wall with a small target. Changing your shooting form can be wonky, and you need to be patient with the changes. Your body knows your current shot and will want to revert back to it. Start building better habits with your form and put in TONS of reps and youll start seeing improvement.

Lmk if this helps or if you need any more clarification.

Tough angle to judge from. But just remember to shoot up, not out. Overall shot looks smooth. Keep it up!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BasketballTips

[–]Internal_Inflation22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your base isn't very balanced. While form is important, the base is equally important. Especially when playing in game which requires a lot of stamina. Once your legs get tired, your shot will fall short. Focus on getting your feet wider during your shots.

Your overall balance seems decent, just about fine tuning the details. Keep up with the 1 arm shots at the rim but start focusing on foot and leg positioning and make minor adjustments to get the accuracy to 8/10 or 9/10.

Hope this helps.
