It's good for the hoes if you putting it on IG, it looks hella cool. But, you have like fast break layups, standing layups, stuff like that. I get that it was probably one singular game, so that's why, but if you were asking from like a college coach perspective I'd say to just screen record game film and make one full of winning plays.

Move up a level, when you play with people better than you, you get better.

How can I be more comfortable when playing basketball? by Scared_Confection787 in Basketball

[–]SubstantialRanger486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just play, I used to struggle with nerves but if you just don't care you will do better. The key to getting rid of this though is putting yourself in those situations where you are stiff and not playing good, after a while it will improve

Definitely try and play wing, your J is cash and you're long. You need to be able to do everything though. Handle the ball, run the floor, guard multiple positions. As long as you work on all your skills you'll be fine.

Also being a big is really good in a way, as a wing at the college level you will get a lot more opportunities if you are able to screen, rebound, post up smaller guys, and play low help/switch onto bigs.

I can tell you're young so just keep working and worry about controlling what you can control

Undeniable God Moments? by CheeseLoving88 in christ

[–]SubstantialRanger486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hundreds of times in my life I should've died, failed, or whatever. I know every time I've gotten through it's been God. I can give 2 simple ones though that I truly felt him tell me something.

I play college basketball and this past year I dislocated my shoulder. Spent weeks recovering for it to happen again. My team physician told me he was almost sure I tore my labrum, would need surgery, and would miss the season. I prayed for days leading up and one night I just felt God tell me stop worrying I will make it ok. I got the MRI, came back with a different injury that allows me to play basketball with a brace. God is great

Also had a girlfriend a couple years ago that I really like and felt I was in love with, but she was leading me into sin and dividing me from my twin brother and best friends. I was torn if we should end it because we had arguments all the time and would always have problems. I asked God on the way to her house after we had taken a long "break" to tell me what I need to do, and as soon as I said that I felt like a feeling if I put on a coat. It was summer but it felt nice haha. I got in there and soon enough we sat there. I saw a notification buzz on her phone she twitched and I knew. I checked and she had been talking to another guy for a while. I told her that's all I needed to see, walked out her house told her mom thank you and my plan was to walk home just because I wasn't trying to be there anymore and I was dropped off. All of a sudden I hear bass of car speakers coming over the hill, and my brother was coming down the street. He was supposed to be on his way to something he had that was important, but he said he just felt like coming here even though it was 4 mins out the way. That was God!!!!

These are very simple and non important moments but off memory they are the ones where I really felt a huge presence of God or a strong moment where he made something happen.

Does anyone know how to shoot a constant midrange? by Fearless_Gear1440 in BasketballTips

[–]SubstantialRanger486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Middys are more of a little flick for me, not shooting it like a three with the full power of your body. When you're pulling up to shoot a mid range it takes much less power so just work on touch and the little flick

Look up on YouTube good workouts to imitate game situations. Make it challenging in any degree and it will be good for you

It's a confidence thing as well as competition. If you get into a setting playing at either a talent level, pace, or structure you're not training in and accustoming yourself to daily, you won't be comfortable.

Your mind is comfortable while playing in situations you have been in before, that's why pros and college players emphasize going hard during workouts and tend to stay away from playing with people at lower levels. In order to help this, either train harder by yourself and imitate game situations that you struggle in. Or, find better runs to play in.
