How easy is it to get good at basketball trickwise?

I'm average at basketball, I know the rules, I have height advantage, and now I just want to learn the techniques and tricks such as fadeaways, dribbling the ball between the legs, and fakes and stuff, just so I can get past people with ease.


Can anyone show me a link to a video or something to a technique on how to do this stuff, or is it just one of those things that comes naturally with practise?|||Practice makes perfect

How do I start off an essay about basketball and young hoop dreamers wanting a scholarship from their skills?

I need to write an essay about how kids grow up in poor inner city areas with the dream of playing basketball every single day in hopes of maybe, just maybe getting a college scholarship.


I have some really good ideas for this paper but does anybody have a good opening sentence or paragraph so help me get started?


Anything would be great. Thanks!|||How about this:





Basketball, saviour or deceiver?





Basketball is a way out of the ghetto, that is for the very few exceptional players.


But common knowledge and numbers show it is more of a deceiver than a saviour. The vast majority of youngsters that pin their hopes on basketball as a way to college and beyond leave their smashed dreams on the hardwood of a high school arena.


We need to emphasis that not every one from the ghetto is not skilled enough with a basketball to play their way into the future, but all of those inner city kids have what it takes to study their way to their dreams..................|||well i think that u could use t mag as a example of that because he grew up on a very dangerous street look it up and you could start it by saying " a man with ambitions , a kid with dreams t mag|||Actually a better example would be Sebastian Telfair, who grew up in Coney Island with dreams of being a professional who bypassed college and made it into the NBA.|||u should be like... u know whats sad? all the nigs on the street getting high and drunk when they could be having just as much fun playing a harmless game.. obviously not in those words but i think u get the idea

How do you get power for shooting a basketball above your head?

I am getting a new form like nba players so How do you get power for shooting a basketball above your head?|||Before I tell you, I should let you know that it's not all about shooting above your head. A good form is a proper jump shot that you can perform every time you get a good look. But if you are dying to shoot overhead, what really helps the most (aside from your legs) is your height. The taller you are, the easier it is to shoot over head, but if you are 6'0 or shorter than you probably want to work out and get stronger. The stronger you are the more power you will get, also your shooting range will gradually improve. Also, you should start by shooting overhead close to the basket then slowly work yourself to the three point line. So let me summarize it:





1. Use your height to your advantage.





2. Work out at the gym to get more power in your arms and your legs.





3. Start shooting close to the basket and slowly work your self to the three point line ( to get the flow of the jump shot)





4. Never chuck the ball to get more power, always be steady and use the same jumper from any distance, whether your shooting a free throw line jumper or a three pointer, your jump shot should always look the same.





5. Your jump height is an important factor in shooting over head. But you don't necessarily need to jump high to get a good jump shot. Take a look at Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks.|||Practice, and power .





You need to practice , because you'll never improve unless your practice!





You need power , because you need to have enough power to be able to throw the ball some distance.





Work out, exercise, and keep practicing. and well for the form , legs flat on the ground, get the ball above your head , and then "stretch" your arm out with force, making your ball going either up in the air, to forward .





Hope that helped !|||SAME ANSWER ABOVE





ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRACTICE TO IMPROVE...|||Use ur legs.

How do you play basketball on wii deca sports?

I'm thinking of getting it mainly for basketball...but i'll also play the other sports. Just wondering but how do you control when playing basketball so i know if it is worth getting.|||Never played it, but here is one user review of the basketball section of the game, from Gamefaqs:





"Every single time I have played this game I have gotten my *** handed to me. I just don't understand how my stupid guys cannot defend the ball and practically give it to the other team. EVERY SINGLE TIME! This game mode infuriates me and usually results in a tantrum of epic proportions. Great for parties. The Wii remote is used for motions such as stealing the ball and throwing at the hoop while the nunchuk is used for movement."

Since NBA Live 08 for the Wii was also very poor in terms of gameplay when it came out last year, I would recommend NBA Live All-Play '09 if you really want the best basketball game out there for the Wii. But that's not saying much, because the reviews for '09 weren't too good either (but at least are better than Deca Sports).
