How to Become a KNOCKDOWN Shooter (Full Guide!)

In our global camps, one of my big focuses is helping players understand HOW to train, so even when I'm not there, they're able to work more efficiently! In our recent Iceland camp, one of the big focuses was shooting, and hopefully I have a pretty good blueprint of how to train one of basketball's most important skills!

[@VonDaSnip3r]

Something I've noticed recently that I see in a lot of great shooters especially booker and Klay is that just like their shooting hand they put space in the palm of their off hand and use just the pressure of their fingers to guide the ball and Devin will sometimes even take his entire thumb off the ball on his lift

[@VonDaSnip3r]

Something I've also noticed with great shooters is that on release their off hand arm doesn't fully extend it kinda locks up at the elbow the same time the hand comes off the ball

[@StarkLazux]

I think on long range 2s and on 3s the elbow should be above eye level b4 release starts to gain more momentum or sumn like that

[@nypkingpen3933]

Footwork and having a strong base is key!!!

[@davidgibson4007]

I would say shooting shot blocking just for striking fear into players hearts also passing and shooting opens up passing for you too

[@Tracey.Carroll]

Step 1: Aim for the hoop, not the referee. Trust me, it makes a big difference!

[@Luka-eu4vr]

When is your documentary about basketball in Serbia coming out?

[@davidgibson4007]

I can sit here and set you screens all day just to make things easier cause I really care about is setting screens and playing defense passing shooting shot blocking rebounding hustling guarding guys that are much bigger and taller than me too the best offensive player on the floor doing the little things and I was in the NBA I would prefer to come off the bench and earn my playing time and in every single way too which is exactly my point

[@OmriCaspiFan916]

could you use punctuation cuz i can’t understand you bud

[@user-xl1dg8mw4j]

Do you have any exercises on how to make your wrist flick strong and consistant apart from form shooting?

[@user-jj5um9vt1y]

I'm not a pro coach but I had a similar problem, what I did was first(without the ball) I would go through my shooting motion and really try to focus on the flick, think of curry, his wrist flicks so hard it bounces, I tried to emulate that kind of flick then when it came to the acc shooting the flick was in my muscle memory and ready to put it into my game

[@shadow_death2002]

I been doing the first drill this whole time and I didn't know that it was an actual drill I was just practicing different shots 😭

[@rohandandapani5030]

So I've been in an awful shooting slump lately and I'm trying to figure out why I've been shooting horrible in both pick up and league games. When I'm shooting practice shots I'm shooting an excellent percentage and then I'm getting the exact same shots in games and missing them. It might be mental I'm not sure and it's not like they're heavily contested they're good rhythm shots off the catch that I've been accustomed to knocking down. The other day I literally got shots up for a whole hour right before playing and they felt pure and soon as the game started the same shots I was practicing I was fucking bricking its so frustrating. Worst part about it is that there were non shooters who were hitting more shots than me. And I know what I'm capable of Ive been playing for a while and I've gotten hot plenty of times not too long ago I just don't know what's been happening in the past few weeks any advice would help.

Bro I’m 14 and every time I shoot a 3 it airballs maybe I’m weak but I can shoot a mid range so I don’t know

[@OmriCaspiFan916]

i was the exact same when i was early 14, im still only 15 but i’ve been able to change my mentality and workout routine and now the main way i contribute to offense is knocking down threes.

[@zerg4764]

If you can hit mid range shots, you should be able to hit 3s. You might want to make adjustments to your shot though if you are constantly missing short. E.g. lowering your release point, shooting on the way up/shooting in one motion or even just shooting with a higher arc

[@joshuatreez2440]

u are probably more of a set shooter and should bend your knees more when shooting from farther away or you are shooting with too much arc and should lower your release point slightly.

[@tylorbrand7802]

Your strength is still developing, and the 3 is probably just outside of your natural range of your comfortable shot form (especially if you've got a 2 part shot). You can dip a bit deeper into your shot pocket and rise up with through the balls of your feet to try to pull strength from your legs and core to boost your natural arm and shoulder strength.
