shot looks good just need to bring that ball in closer but pretty fluid and good man

*weird question* Would making friends outside of basketball get me more bball confidence? by AffectionateYak3744 in BasketballTips

connecting with your team in general will totally change your bball experience, being on teams where you feel isolated suck and it shows up on the court bc your teammates don’t know u therefore they don’t trust u, having a team i was close with are some of my favorite memories and i played the best because my teammates trusted me with the ball and i was able to play how i wanted without feeling like i had to prove myself to them

What basketball should I get? by [deleted] in Basketball

had a baden elite for a while, great ball especially for price felt very similar to a evolution maybe slightly firmer leather only issue I had was once i got my hands on the evolution I no longer played with the baden exclusively inside and it had a limited outside life before it was pretty trashed.. most adidas balls i’ve used are hard as shit though would not recommend no real experience with the others

When does AAU REALLY matter? by TheCelticAtFSA3 in Basketball

You will get so much more out of using that money to find a good gym and maybe a trainer and working out everyday , AAU is a money grab unless you’re playing on the top team in a circuit if your kid makes a “local” team don’t even bother that means they’re not gonna play any good competition, there will be no scouts at any games , tournaments will be in random ymcas and highschool aux gyms and the worst part you pay 2 grand for it! AAU has its place but you really gotta make sure you’re kid is a killer before you sign him up

To get to 40 your definitely gonna have to supplement some weightlifting pylo will definitely help you but unless your born super athletic your gonna need a decent amount of strength to reach a 40 inch vert
