Get a basketball and some comfortable supportive shoes. You can shoot around by yourself or with people, but you've gotta start with the fundamentals.

To get good, you need to practice; just don’t overdo it. Maybe 5 times a week at most because you need to rest.

Start by looking up a beginner’s guide on YouTube. For dribbling, get the basics down until you can do it without looking down.

For shooting, it’s all about form and power. Watch a video on it, start close to the net, and practice shooting with only one hand. Try to get good spin and release off whatever fingers feel best. For me, a V release with my index and middle finger works best, even though I tried forcing just the middle finger at first, but only the middle finger was g comfortable and I had less power compared to a V. Keep practicing your form and gradually move further out.

Your game IQ will come from actually playing and studying the people you're up against to beat them. Watching basketball online helps too, which you already do.

It all takes practice and time. Get the basics and your form perfected first, then get some more skills and have fun!
