How to Shoot a Basketball

This intructable is a guide on how to shoot a basketball. It will give you all the steps you need in order to have a perfect jump shot!

First thing to shooting is having a proper stance. So, make sure your feet are squared and if you want put your shooting foot slightly in front.

This step is important so that you have a good grip and so you can control the ball better when you shoot.

Square your arms up with your feet and try and keep those elbows in.

In order to get a jump shot where you can have a far range you need to create the most power in your legs. Many players think that you have to push with your arms, which is true but it is a lot easier when you generate power from your lower body.

People have different places where they like to focus on when shooting. In my opinion I like looking at where the net and rim meet. You can do whatever is most comfortable for you.

This is the last but most important step. With that wrist pretend like your reaching for a cookie in a jar.
