How to Play Basketball
How to Shoot a Basketball
Knowing how to shoot a basketball correctly is the most important skill you need to master in order to play the game. Using the right form helps you score more points. Below is a list of nine steps that can help you improve your basketball skill.
1. Face the basket and place your feet shoulder width apart. Point your feet in the general direction of the basket. Your feet should be slightly staggered, with your dominant foot, referred to as your "shooting" foot for these purposes, slightly in front of your non-dominant foot. Take a comfortable and balanced position. There is no perfect stance; the important thing is to find a stance that helps you launch your best shot.
- Bend your knees slightly. Locking your knees makes it easy for you to get knocked off balance. Bend your knees comfortably so you're in position to jump as soon as you have the ball.
- Some people prefer a closed stance, in which their feet point squarely at the basket, while other prefer an open stance, with their feet pointing slightly toward the side of the basket opposite their shooting hand. For example, if you're right handed, an open stance would mean pointing your feet slightly toward the left side of the basket.
- Keep your stance in mind as you learn the art of shooting and begin to practice. Once you find the stance that suits you best, use it every single time. The goal is to get so used to the stance that you don't have to think about it before your feet take the right position to let a great shot fly.
- Holding the ball too high or too low greatly affects the accuracy of the shot. Make sure the ball is positioned right in the pocket, a comfortable launching point just above your waist.
- Position your elbow so it's under the ball, not cocked to the side.
- Learn to position the ball in this same place every single time you get ready to take a shot. When someone passes you the ball, they should aim it right for your pocket. If you don't catch it there, you must position it there before you shoot.
- Leave be a little space between your palm and the ball, so the ball will be able to roll off your fingertips with ease. The ball should sit on your finger pads.
- Spread your fingers wide so you have greater control over the ball.
- Don't let the ball go behind your head or off to the side; shoot it in a fluid, forward motion.
- Your non-shooting hand serves only to guide the ball to keep it steady while your shooting hand exerts force.
- Don't jump forward or backward. Your feet should land in the same position where they started.
- Don't lean forward as you jump, either. If your body is balanced, you will jump straight up as you shoot.
- As you release the ball, your guiding hand should fall away.
- Roll the ball off your fingertips toward the basket. You can tell whether you shot it properly by looking at the backspin; if the lines of the basketball spin symmetrically, you positioned the ball properly.
- When the shot is complete, your shooting hand will resemble the shape of a swan; your arm is arched elegantly toward the basket, with your hand loosely cocked downward and your fingers pointed toward the hoop. This is called follow through.
- Practice free throws. Free throws, or foul shots, are taken from the free throw line, located 15 feet from the basket. It's a good distance to practice from, and since it's located in front of the backboard behind the basket, the ball will usually bounce back to you and you won't have to chase after it as frequently.
- Practice from other angles. Shoot from all sides of the basket and from a variety of distances, using the same form every single time, whether you're shooting from the 3-point line or closer to the basket
- Your aim will be slightly different when you use the backboard. Practice shooting for the basket and shooting for the backboard until you can intuitively feel the difference.
- Use the backboard when you shoot layups, which are taken off the dribble rather than from a standing position.

Video Project
For the video project assignment, Duffy and I will be focusing on hockey.
We will be focusing on Matt Drew as a goalie facing many different shots coming at him. This will take place indoors, as it will be in the Intramural's gym.
There will be an interview with him focusing on what it was like to be the goalie, how difficult and various other questions relating to what it was like as a goalie.

Posting to Blog: Duffy
Sound is going to be on Matt, the sound of the hockey ball hitting the post or the wall behind it. The usage of the natural sound will bring the piece to life. The interview will be tied into the piece by having both a live interview with him and using pieces of that interview in the final project.
The project will have Matt introduced as a goalie heading towards the net. Then he will block some shots, have an interview scene, and then block a few more. This will all be done with sequential filming.
