NBA 2K23 - How to Make Every Shot! How to Shoot! Become a Better Shooter!

[@youngdirkk]

I MADE A PART 2 TO THIS VIDEO! LINK TO THAT IS HERE! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4WceKCVqN6AhZI

[@jarardx2312]

This video definitely did help me. Because I've been struggling from 3 and I never knew your feet to consistently have the same shot timing. My fist game I started out 11/12 from 3 and ended going 14/18 from 3. I haven't had another game close to that since but I've been shooting over 40% from 3 since.

[@youngdirkk]

Really glad I could help

[@bow1543]

@@youngdirkkwhy is my pee red

[@AM-dl7ot]

Same happend to me, 1st game I was 8/10 with 78 overall 3pt. I upgraded my shot to 84 wit badges and still haven't had a game like that.

[@chadams7753]

What I hate about Gatorade court is that it’s so aggressive. Just moving a tiny bit drains stamina, it’s hard to get in the corner without going out of bounds or in the arc. Whereas shootaround before MyCareer games isn’t ridiculous or controller vibration or stamina taxing. Love the video.

[@youngdirkk]

lmaoo facts and thanks man Im glad you liked it

[@9ffadlandiramuhammadshabri464]

bro pls bro how to find the oscart Robertson and the nikola jovic 🙏😕☹️☹️

[@kiingtv3578]

Its easy to shoot on the left side as a right handed person and left handed easier on the right as a ball player

[@kiingtv3578]

I dont know how to explain but iykyk

[@S7ayMelo]

It’s because the arm your shooting from and the alignment of the body is in a more natural form for the opposite side of ur handedness

[@kobethegoat9907]

That’s weird bc I shoot w lot better on my right and I’m right handed😂

[@flackobpg2683]

Facts im left handed when it comes to writing but whenever i picked up a football basketball baseball it was already thrown or shot with my right hand . It used to amaze my classmates and coaches 😂

[@anoofahmed5934]

​@@kobethegoat9907 why are you gere then😂?

[@tyskii757]

i remember i was in like 6th or 7th grade and you was doing the mascot glitch on 2k16 and was helping people for 25$ xbox card and i bought a 30$ one and sent it and you did it on my account, it’s a genuine core memory i have of you, my favorite OG 2k youtuber fr

[@youngdirkk]

lmao that was like my first business, I appreciate the support bro

[@fromtheslumsofbethlehem2743]

This video is “VITAL” to say the least. Most informative video I have seen this year!

[@youngdirkk]

Really appreciate it man.

[@privateuser7]

I have a 90 three rating on my scoring machine, and an 80 on my stretch, I literally don't notice a difference. if you can't hit every open shot in this game, you are just bad or have bad reflexes

[@youngdirkk]

99 three ball really only benefits shooting super deep IMO.

[@scottb3034]

i also find that having decent takeover progress and playing intelligently and good team basketball helps shooting for me and I noticed when i saw a different video mention that takeover progress boosts ratings not just the takeover activation. you also obviously don't take bad shots then which makes you go cold.

[@youngdirkk]

yeah, its easier to shoot when the meter is filled

[@TheRoyaleClashDuo]

im a man of my word im subscribing and liking

[@youngdirkk]

appreciate it fam

[@_dboy_]

Thank you for this one man. I'm a decent shooter. I can quick stop, I can catch and shoot, I can even fade decently. I do suffer from what you said about not thinking a lot of my looks are open and then either driving or swinging the ball to the next guy. I tend to focus on my feet and jumper queue rather than checking for the contest and if there's any doubt I usually play it safe. I'm going to start firing more of them up like I did in 2k22 and seeing what works. Great video.

[@youngdirkk]

I feel that for sure, even I tend to pass up on open shots, dont stress it, I need to work on it more too lol. Appreciate the compliment and glad I could help.

[@andrsenhophmen]

I’m so casual that I didn’t even now how to stop when shooting

[@youngdirkk]

Haha it’s okay bro, glad I could help!

[@tylermarr6488]

The practice footage proves the shot works. If you're missing, its your own fault. Good stuff.

[@youngdirkk]

lmao I appreciate it bro, I wouldnt use the shot if it was broke lol

[@WayneCoolin]

Just commenting for the algorithm. Also I’m surprised you didn’t include release timing. Certain shots work best with different release timings. Anyways great video man!

[@youngdirkk]

Really appreciate the support, and yeah my fault, early and late is meta.

[@Theodoredarling]

This video helped me so much! I’m not bad at the game and I have like 20 shooting badges already but I guess I wasn’t reading contents correctly and passing up shots that would have been considered open and I wasn’t setting my feet properly

[@youngdirkk]

so happy I could help!

[@johnw3162]

Finally, a content creator that doesn’t say you suck simply because you’re not confident in shooting the ball when there’s a defender close to you… respect my man for encouraging the low confident players instead of downing them.

[@youngdirkk]

Appreciate it man

[@suitedmonkie]

These are great tips, I highly recommend them.

Workout is pointless if you don't get 4 stars on every workout.

I mean yeah, but even if you only get 3out of 4 or a few a week you'll still get gym rat eventually. I'd also rather have 3 stars in 2 categories than none. But yeah I usually do it till I get the double boost because I want that gym rat ASAP

If you fail a workout just close the app and try again they super easy when you get used to it
