Shoot The Ball

I have been playing basketball ever since I can remember. My family has always been very athletic. My siblings played basketball as well as my parents. My grandma told me a story about how I used to shoot a little basketball into a 10 foot hoop and I would make it. I play in the point guard position. I work very hard at what I do so that makes me advance in my skill for the sport. When I really started to realize I had a passion for it was in 6th grade. We had a lot of new people therefore our team didn't blend great. But even with my team being the way it was I still put everything that I had into it. Two things at the end of the season happened to me that made me realized that if I worked at it I could do great things. One parent on the

Shooting a basketball involves many steps. To shoot a basketball a hoop is needed. So, go to a gymnasium at school,rec center, or even your driveway. Grab a basketball and dribble a few times to get comfortable with the basketball before shooting the basketball. Go to a spot closer to the hoop, like the left or right block on the marked court. It is a square shape located on the floor of the gym. After finding the blocks or the place you choose to shoot from, the first thing you should do is line your foot up to the basket. If you are left-handed, your left foot should be lined up to the basket. If you are right-handed, your right foot should be lined up to the basket. Once you have lined your dominant foot up, the other foot that is not lined

Basketball is one of the most popular which is beloved sports that is played today. Michael Jordan, who played for the Washington Wizards and the Chicago Bulls once said, “Just play, have fun, and enjoy the game” (BrainyQuote 2016). Whether playing with friends for fun or by professionals for entertainment or simply watching from home, basketball is very enjoyed all over the world. Beginning with a unique history, basketball has evolved over time from a simple idea into a professional career choice for those with the unique skill set.

Basketball was a new experience to me a few years ago, but i never realized I was going to love it. When I was younger, I’ve always wanted to play the sport of basketball, and I got my opportunity to play when I was in fifth grade at Monte Vista Elementary.

My entire life, I have lived and breathed basketball. When I was only three days old, I was being passed around in the stands of a basketball game while my parents coached my older sister. In first grade, I was begging my parents to let me play. I couldn’t, however, because in my town kids don’t start playing basketball until the third grade. They let me join an Upward basketball league that was near my area, but Upward wasn’t competitive enough for me. So the next year, I went a couple towns over to join their city league so I could play. From then on, basketball was my passion.

Basketball became a place where I could exhibit my talent and it has been so for the past 7 years. Each time I play a match, I set a target for myself to be the top scorer of that game. I only settled for the best. The feeling of a 3 point shot swishing into the net and blocking a shot from my opponent left me feeling immensely satisfied and cool.

Attention Getter: “I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a Baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her.” That timeless phrase coined by Ski-Lo in the early nineties, resonates with so many of us because all of those goals are things that people relate to being successful. And while I can’t help you with the first and the last respectively, becoming a “Basket-baller” is quite feasible, with a little hard work.

When the crowd inspired me to play on I did just that, and guarded like my life depended on it and stole the ball,I zoomed down the court with the ball hitting

The basketball tryouts was fun, but I kept missing layups. Layups are the easiest shots to make in the game of basketball. We practiced so many times with the left and right handed layups. I missed so many wide open layups, it seems easy, but that is difficult when going at fast pace.

There are many skills that I have to practice to become an expert basketball player. Starting today, I could obtain a basketball and start to dribble with one hand initially until I can master the ability to dribble high and low. Subsequently, I could train to do the same with my other hand, so I can become an ambidextrous dribbler to help move the ball forward in an actual game. Later, I could go to a basketball court to practice my shooting skills. First, I shoot the basketball with proper form three feet from the basket until I make 5-10 shots in a row. Then, I could take two steps back and repeat until I reach the three

Every professional basketball player knows how to shoot a ball, and in some part of their life, they learned how to shoot a basketball. It isn’t that complicated to be honest, there’s just some aspects of shooting a ball that need to be perfected. There are very few steps in the process of learning how to shoot a ball correctly. The one that is most used is called B.E.E.F. B.E.E.F is a four-step process, and quickly could be learned, but takes awhile to perfect. The first part of this procedure is known as “Balance.” Most people think a good flick of the wrist is a good shot, but balance is a key part of shooting. In order to have the correct balance your feet must be shoulder width apart, bend your knees, and your dominant foot should be in front of your non-dominant foot. The next step is “Eyes.” Your eyes should be focused on the center of the rim because first of all, you don’t know how much strength to put in your shot if you are not looking at your target. Second of all, aim for the center because the side, front, or back of the rim will probably lead you to miss your shot. After that, the next step is elbow. Your elbow must be cocked back 90 degrees. Also, your non-dominant hand should be on the side of the ball to guide your shot. This is because your shot will go in other directions that you are not intending to aim for. Finally, the last step is to follow-through. To follow-through, straighten your elbow

Shooting the basketball is the easiest thing to improve. The best way to enhance shooting is to keep practicing. Better shooting greatly increases the teams score and gives the opponents a hard time of catching up. Once a player feels their shot is good enough, they can attempt 3-point shots. There is a line pretty far away from the goal

The sight and sound of watching the basketball swish through the net are second to none. For this reason and much more, I have fallen in love with the game of basketball and all the sport has to offer. From an extremely young age until now I have played the game and I hope to be either playing or involved with the game as long as I live. I have tried many other sports including soccer, football, and lacrosse but none can compare to the pleasure and passion that I have for basketball. This has become more than a sport for me, it has become a passion and something that I have dedicated my time, energy and hard work into.

Central Idea: The game of basketball has greatly changed since it was invented, but one thing remains constant: You need to know how to shoot a basketball.
