What is basketball ranked on the popular sports list ?

Out of all the sports what is basketball ranked as a popular sport ?What is basketball ranked on the popular sports list ?
its ranked 2nd behind football
Globally..



Football (Soccer) is still the most popular Sport.



But..



Basketball is the fastest growing Sport.



I would say Basketball is 2nd after Football and Baseball is 3rd.



You could see it in the NBA, it has become more and more 'international' over the years and more and more pre-season games are held outside the states.What is basketball ranked on the popular sports list ?
3rd or 4th. nfl, mlb, nascar, nba
In the early to mid-90's, with Michael Jordan in his peak, the Dream Team success, and the baseball strike, NBA basketball was actually the NUMBER ONE sports league in America. It also helped that celebrities liked watching it, so it glamorized the game.



But that was only temporary. Today, it is 2nd after football (maybe 3rd if you count baseball).



In the world, soccer football is number one, and basketball is number two and getting more popular.



There are some countries like Canada which prefer ice hockey, and some Commonwealth countries like India and Pakistan, which prefer cricket.



But both in the USA and worldwide, as a general rule, it is the second most popular team game after some form of football (soccer or American).What is basketball ranked on the popular sports list ?
Depends on your defintion.



In America in terms of spectators and television ratings, football and baseball are ahead. Auto racing is pretty close to basketball in numbers, although basketball probably gets an edge simply because you have to add in college and pro.



In terms of participation, basketball certainly ranks around the top of the pack.



Worldwide, basketball probably only trails soccer in popularity. It's a cheap game that can be played virtually anywhere, inside or out.
U.S.- Football 1st, basketball 2nd

World- Soccer 1st basketball 2nd

What is a good training program to dunk a basketball?

I want to dunk a basketball and i can't jump that high.What is a good training program to dunk a basketball?
just do some good workouts
go **** kobe bryantWhat is a good training program to dunk a basketball?
do stuff to strengthen your leg muscles that u use for jumping like jump roping and if u have money u can get these http://www.eastbay.com/product/model:385鈥?/a> there supposed to increase ur vertical by up to 10 inches which could be enough to make u dunk
Work with weights, i.e. squats, leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls and calf raises. Then do some plyometric drills. Remember though that vertical leaping ability is genetic or god-given. If these exercises don't work, it just means that you don't have it so you gotta accept it. Anyway, you can be a good player without being able to dunk the basketball.What is a good training program to dunk a basketball?
plyometric drills will work.

i'm a 6 foot white boy and after working with plyos and stretching alot i got up to a 29" vert and dunk with ease.
If you really want to improve your vertical jump, first you need to figure out what type of Jumper you are, a power jumper or a leaper, as using optimal biomechanics is just as important as having explosive muscle power. Next you need to figure out what type of power or strength you are lacking. The three basic types of strength are: Base strength, transitional power, and explosiveness or "Reactive" power, they are all different and must be trained in different ways. Now I know a lot of you are wondering what's the difference between the three. Well in short Base Strength is how much weight you can move, Transitional Power is how fast you can move said weight and explosiveness is the maximum speed and distance you can move said weight with each single movement. A good Vertical Jump training routine will include the following exercises:



Base Strength

1: Traditional Squats and Pistol Squats

2: Deadlifts/base building olympic lifts

3: Lunges

4: Core Work (Functional Performance Core Strength= The ability to make your pelvis and spine "lock" and work as a single stable unit, not simply having a 6 pack or being able to do 100 crunches)

5: Stretching



Transitional Power:

1: Box Squats/Tempo Squats

2: Power Cleans

3: Push Press

4: Core Work

5: Stretching



Explosiveness:

1: Ballistic and jump squats

2: Traditional and Compound/Hybrid Plyometrics

3: Sprinting

4: Core Work

5: Stretching



You'll also want to figure out which individual muscles/muscle groups are working inefficiently. You can figure this out by completing a full vertical jump test progression and a baseline fitness test to diagnose any muscle imbalances that you may have. Remember no matter what type of training program you do you must make sure that opposing muscles are strengthened and balanced (e.g. Quads and hamstrings, abs and lower back) so don't skip the quad extensions and hamstring curls. If opposing muscles are not strengthened they will lead to weak links, energy leaks and imbalances will result in poor or slow improvement and raise the risk of injury significantly. Do a routine that combines plyomertic/bodyweight, free weight and or acceleration routines. Make sure you are consuming lots of protein to aid in muscle repair after tough workouts You'll also want to replenish your bodies ATP and glycogen stores as they are the fuel for those type IIa and type IIb muscle fibers you will be (AKA FG and FOG) shredding during your workout. In order to gain inches you'll need to tax your central nervous system and force your body to create new motor pathways. If you train correctly you should gain at least an inch a week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PxcPllTy鈥?/a>

  • Why do people say black people are better in basketball and football?

    I'm seriosly wondering why people say black people in basketball can jump higher, run faster, and shoot better?



    Im white so is this a disadvantage?



    Is this true?



    Why do people say black people are faster, jump higher, and catch better in football?Why do people say black people are better in basketball and football?
    This is just a guess and I don't mean to convey a negative message here. Perhaps people think the black athlete is better than the white because there are more blacks in basketball and football. The black athlete has depended much more on sports for economic success than whites to get out of poverty in American society. Since there is such a disproportionate number of blacks in sports, this may answer why blacks are perceived to be better athletes than whites.



    The white athlete appears to have a much better advantage to achieve economic success outside of sports. Consequently, we don't see as many whites in these sports as we do blacks. This may be attributed to discrimination against blacks in certain segments of society. Also, other means of economic success in the black community may not be stressed because of the lack of education and resources not available to them.



    Just some food for thought.
    Muscles...lol.. I have seen white people that can play ball very well. White people raise their children to do well in school. Blacks tend to teach there children the same thing but are not given the greatest schools, so basketball is a way out. http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2008/black.in.america/

    Why do people say black people are better in basketball and football?
    You can do it...C'mon. No one is good at EVERYTHING!!!
    Black people are somewhat more athletic due to genes, but that doesn't mean you are at a disadvantage. A good percentage of athletes today are black, however, this doesn't mean you can't be just as good as them.
    African American are genetically, physically better built to their advantages, they are better athletes.
    Bubblez you are an idiotic racist. People like you make me sick, you are whats wrong with the world. Grow up!



    The only reason this is often said is because the majority of professional leagues (nba, and NFl skill positions) are african american people.
    Skills are natural and can be worked at for everyone. Generally, people of African descent have genetics that make them faster and jump higher. If you look at Track %26amp; Field, all of the sprinters and jumpers are black. Catching a football has nothing to do with being black, it has to do with reflex and depth perception, as well as timing. Same with shooting, shooting just takes practice. All you can do is stay in shape, study your sport of interest, and practice practice practice. Remember: practice makes permanent, not perfect. Don't think of anything as a disadvantage, just work as hard as you can. In team sports, the intangibles are just as important, so be supportive, be a leader, listen to your coach, and do all of the other important things as well, on and off the court/field/etc.
    coz white men cant jump!!!!
    its all about the genes
    Most of them are but that doesnt mean you dont have a chance if you work really hard you could be the best on a team with all black players.
    THEY CAN, THEY HAV AN EXTRA MUSCLE IN THEIR LEGS
    Some of the answers are worrying. Does this mean that only old white men can coach winning teams in the NBA?



    Color is immaterial. Many of the athletes who fail in the NBA are black, but that doesn't mean black athletes are more prone to failure. You draft on talent and ability and you worry about color only when someone else raises it as an issue.
    Well practice can make you really good, just ask Steve Nash. But honestly, both those leagues are mostly black, so that's where people get the idea.
    I dunno why do people say Chinese people can't drive?
    its just a conspiracy so white people can be the owners and general managers......
    Some sport stars had had bad lives, so I guess that made them work harder.
    African Americans have fast twitching fibers which allow them to be fast. They build muscle easily compare to whites. Yes during slavery strong black men and women were bred. Not all whites are slow as their are some fast whites and slow blacks. Most WR,RB and CB are black while most QB are white.
    Because we are were always better at contact sports like basetball and football.

    White people need to sick to hockey and keep trying to play soccer!

  • How can I not get feet blisters when playing basketball?

    I find it strange that whenever a play basketball I get these blisters on the part of the soils before the thumb, where feet support the most. One on each foot, the size of a bottle cap. I dont know anyone else having this problem and it happens everytime I play, after having done so for some time (+25 mins)



    What can I do to stop this from happening?How can I not get feet blisters when playing basketball?
    There are a couple of things you can do:



    1) Get powder for your shoes that makes the shoes more "breathable". I have used something like this and it helps A LOT. You can get this powder from any pharmacy store or sports stores.



    2) Your shoes are not right for you. Someone said to where tighter shoes but I have noticed, the tighter my shoes were, the more blisters I would get. So, try to find some shoes you are comfortable in.



    When the blisters are dealt with by using the powder and maybe new shoes, you have more time to focus on getting better at basketball.How can I not get feet blisters when playing basketball?
    Try wearing a very thin pair of socks under your regular socks. That way, it's the two pairs of socks 'rubing' each other and not just you.



    Make certain you always wear cotton socks, or at least cotton rich socks, that can help a lot.How can I not get feet blisters when playing basketball?
    Wear thick cotton socks to absorb your sweat and try to wear tighter sneakers or lace them up tighter to reduce the foot rubbing the inside of the shoe.

  • How do you solve for the number of different ways to score 31 points in a basketball game?

    How do you go about approaching this problem?



    A basketball team scored 31 points. The points were made up of three pointers (3 points), field goals (2 points), and foul shots (1 point). How many different ways could the team have scored 31 points?How do you solve for the number of different ways to score 31 points in a basketball game?
    Let's call the various shots A (3 points), B (2 points), C (1 point)

    And we can use the notation (a, b, c)

    to mean a A's (3 pts each), b B's (2 pts each), c C's (1 pt each).



    You can have from 0-10 A's.

    With 10 A's

    (10, 0, 1) is the only possibility

    If there are 9 A's,

    (9, 2, 0) (9, 1, 2) (9, 0, 4) ... 3 ways

    For 8 A's

    (8, 3, 1) (8, 2, 3) (8, 1, 5) (8, 0, 7) ... 4 ways

    For 7 A's

    (7, 5, 0) so 6 ways (b = 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)

    For 6 A's

    (6, 6, 1) so 7 ways (b = 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)

    and the pattern will continue

    Because 31 is odd, it jumps whenever a is odd.

    A's: . 10 . . 9 . 8 .. .7 . 6 . .5 .. 4 .. . 3 . . 2 . . 1 .. 0 . . A's

    ways: . 1 + (3+4) + (6+7) + (9+10) + (12+13) + (15+16) ways



    96 ways.

    .How do you solve for the number of different ways to score 31 points in a basketball game?
    If the order of the scoring matters, (so 2+1+1 is different from 1+2+1 is different from 1+1+2 in counting the scoring 4 points) then the formula for how many ways to score n points is the nearest integer to:



    a^n * (4a^2+3a+2)/(7a^2+4a+3)



    where a is the real root of x^3-x^2-x-1=0 (so a ~ 1.84)

    How do you solve for the number of different ways to score 31 points in a basketball game?
    The advanced way to do this is to use something called generating functions.



    First, note that (1+x+x^2+...)(1+x^2+x^4+x^6...)(1+x^3+x^鈥?br>
    is:



    sum(i=0,oo) a_i x^i



    where a_i is the number of ways to score i points.



    But the terms in the above multiplication are geometric expressions, so:



    sum a_i x^i = 1/[(1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^3)]



    Mulitply both sides by (1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^3) = 1-x-x^2+x^+x^5-x^6, and recombine terms, and you get:





    1 = sum(i=0,oo) x^i * (a_i - a_(i-1) - a_(i-2) + a_(i-4) + a_(i-5) - a_(i-6))



    where we set a_i=0 for i%26lt;0.



    Then a_0 = 1, and for i%26gt;0;



    and a_i = a_(i-1) + a_(i-2) - a_(i-4) - a_(i-5) + a_(i-6)



    This gives you a recursive definition of a_i, and you get the following values:

    There's a closed form solution that you can write as:



    a_N = 25/72 + N/2 + N^2/12 + r_N,



    where r_N cycles through the values:



    r_0 = 47/72

    r_1 = 5/72

    r_2 = 23/72

    r_3 = 29/72

    r_4 = 23/72

    r_5 = 5/72

    r_(n+6) = r_n



    In particular, since all of these are values between 0 and 1, exclusive, you can just compute 25/72 + N/2 + N^2/12 and round up to the next integer.
    First, don't expect a very fancy method. This is sort of like ways of making $1 in change with 16 coins. If you call the scoring numbers, T,. G and F for three points, goals and fouls respectively then.....

    3T + 2G + F = 31.

    If F=1, T=10 max.

    If F=1, G=15 max, and

    if T and G=0, F=31.



    So you have a lot of "wiggle room" to come up with combos to score 31 points.

    How can I improve my basketball shot?

    I am pretty athletic so I get by when I play basketball with some good kids but I am not good at finishing on offense. I don't play any serious basketball but I would like to know how I can improve my shot? Form, tips, whatever you guys got.How can I improve my basketball shot?
    Get used to setting yourself up for a shot. Unless you are a confident shooter, only take your shots from in and around the key. When taking a shot, stand with your feet shoulder width apart, with your knees bent. Hold the ball with your dominant hand at the back of the ball, with your knuckles near your forehead and elbow bent. This hand is where the power and the spin come from. Your other hand (in my case, left) you place on the side of the ball. This hand controls accuracy. Practice this hold on the ball - it is also the hold used for push passing. When ready to shoot. Extend your legs and jump, extending your bent elbow and pushing your right hand that was at the back of the ball forward. To put backspin on the ball, use your fingertips on your right hand to spin the ball back as you push it forward. If you get confused with what is said here, read it while watching a video of someone shooting to see what I mean. Hope this helps.



    PS. This takes practice, so don't worry if it takes you a while to get the hang of it.How can I improve my basketball shot?
    Shoot like Jimmer



    http://www.google.is/imgres?imgurl=http:鈥?/a>How can I improve my basketball shot?
    Practice your form. Like the way you shoot. Also do some ball handling skills. And just go outside and practice. Freestyle. Improving your basketball shot, you should shoot how its comfortable. Don't stress. Good Luck.

    How many possible outcomes are there in the NCAA basketball tournament?

    Mathematically speaking, how many different possible outcomes are there in the NCAA men's basketball tournament? There are 64 (65 counting one-play in game) teams arranged in four different brackets. Each bracket starts with 16 teams. I am too lazy to figure out the math. Can someone explain the number of possible outcomes mathematically?How many possible outcomes are there in the NCAA basketball tournament?
    A great question at a wonderful time of the year!



    First notice that the 64 teams play 63 total games: 32 games in the

    first round, 16 in the second round, 8 in the 3rd round, 4 in the

    regional finals, 2 in the final four, and then the national

    championship game.



    32+16+8+4+2+1= 63



    Now let's answer an easier question.



    If there were four teams, and they played three games, how many

    different ways would there be to fill out a bracket? You can write

    them down. There are only eight of them. Where do that eight come

    from? Well, there are three games, and you have two possible choices

    for each game. Hence, 2^3 = 8 possibilities.



    Now back to the real tournament. Since there are 63 games to be

    played, and you have two choices at each stage in your bracket, there

    are 2^63 different ways to fill out the bracket.



    2^63 = 9,223,372,036,854,775,808



    That's more than nine quintillion possibilities.How many possible outcomes are there in the NCAA basketball tournament?
    If you were to count the play-in game, that would increase the total number of games played from 63 to 64. So then the number of different ways to fill out the bracket, or the number of different possible outcomes in the Dance, would be 2^64, or 18,446,744,073,709,600,000.

    You can use NON acetone nail polish remover along with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser!
    The best suggestion to date is to use rubbing alcohol (mainly isopropanol) but you could also try surgical surgical spirit which is commercial grade methyl alcohol plus a small amount of olive oil.



    If you are left with a small amount of residual colour, try rubbing gently with a little toothpaste.How can i erase a pernament marker from a basketball?
    Try rubbing alcohol. It dissolves some kinds of permanent markers. My toddler swiped a Magic Marker right across our new couch. I removed the cushion cover and cleaned it with alcohol - came right out.
    The acetone in nail polish remover might work or you can try hair spray. Just about any kind will take most inks off of most things. Blot the stain do not rub as smearing may take place.How can i erase a pernament marker from a basketball?

    How can I jump higher and run faster for basketball?

    I play basketball all the time, so I want to get stronger legs to help me play. I just don't know how. I'm thirteen years old, so maybe I need some different exercises than older players.How can I jump higher and run faster for basketball?
    Work out in the gym.

    Can I tone up and loose weight without lifting and just playing basketball?

    I just want to go to the gym play competitve basketball for about 2hrs everyday. I want to just shed pounds and tone up with just basketball is this possible.



    I weigh 375 very over weight.Can I tone up and loose weight without lifting and just playing basketball?
    yes you will lose weight if you play basketball for that long every day. I strongly recommend warming up and stretching before you start. also stretching afterwords. In addition to playing basketball there are little things you can do during the day that will help a lot. there are lots of opportunities that present themselves to us everyday that allow for some type of physical activity. taking the stairs instead of the elevator, perhaps walking to the store down the st instead of driving, or sometimes walking to the corner store for coffee instead of using the office supply. on the other hand think about this before you do it. if you work in an office running up 20 flights of stairs may not be a good idea considering those other people in the office will have to be around your sweaty *** all day. just try to be more thoughtful of how various events that don't really take much more effort could help out a lot. I wish you success in your journey. please feel free to email me anytime through yahoo answers if you have another questionCan I tone up and loose weight without lifting and just playing basketball?

  • Whats a basketball plan to get me better at everything during the off season?

    I want to get better at basketball and be able to own all of my friends can someone give me a plan to get better like 100 freethrows a day and then some ball handling practices to help me get better etc..Whats a basketball plan to get me better at everything during the off season?
    You can be like the old Larry Bird and not leave the gym until you hit 10 freethrows in a role after practice, and also just dribble between ur legs when you get bored that what i do and i shoot 100 shots. hope i helped good luck

    What summer sport should i play to help my basketball?

    i play basketball in the winter and it is my first sport, but i don't know what i should play in the summer to help my game.What summer sport should i play to help my basketball?
    netball is always good.

    teaches you to throw the ball.

    and to shoot with out a backboard.

    giving you a better aim.

    =]
    What helped me the most is having a public pool with a hoop on the side. Also playing volleyball in the pool will increase your vertical and develop some smaller muscles that otherwise you don't use on the court, but will come in handy at crunch time when you're dead tired.

    Like smb above recommended, swimming is a great endurance sport.

    I never did handball, but that will develop your footwork well, just like soccer will. If you are in your early teens, I also recommend gymnastics as, if you have noticed, the best players in the sport have that balance and acrobatics advantage. Also gymnasts have the best verticals behind volleyball players, dancers and weightlifters (bet you did not know that basketball is the fourth sport when athletes' verticals are measured).

    As you get close to the season, start running about 4 miles a day and increase up to 10 miles a day. There is no substitute to running when it comes to getting in shape.

    What helped me the most is getting to the court a couple of hours before the heat is gone. By the time everybody else got on the court I was warmed up, but a little tired, which helps you as most of the sensation you will experience during basketball games is tiredness and fatigue.

    Plyometrics and jumping on and off of boxes did miracles for me, but that is only if you are a serious player, and at least in late high school.

    And don't forget - do not overdo any of the above. Your body can progress only so much. Wearing those vertical enhancing shoes and braces to school and all Summer like a fool (like I did) can only help so much. 90% of basketball is attitude and knowledge of the game. What summer sport should i play to help my basketball?
    if your tryin to raise leg strength then do

    -running(also raises stamina)

    -long jump/triple jump(also raise endurance)

    -biking(also raises stamina and endurance)



    to build up hand eye try

    -baseball(very useful)

    -hand ball(also known as wall ball)

    -even somethin like drums or guitar help



    pick the ones u like combined with basic excersise and healthy eating and i guarentee youll improve greatly
    Try football. Kobe, Nash Ginobili etc. play that sport for their footwork Try also swimming for endurance. What summer sport should i play to help my basketball?

    this is my first year in basketball so i suck and im in 7th grade so i really need some practice to get readyHow do I practice for basketball without a hoop or basketball?
    hmm...i'd definitely try to get a basketball at least, that way you can at least work on your dribbling without needing a hoop. Other than that, study the game, learn more about what you should do on the court and do some conditioning drills and speed and agility training.



    If you have any other ball that bounces you can use that as a replacement, or better yet, tennis balls. Practicing dribbling with a smaller ball will make you more comfortable with the real thing as well.
    get a ball.

    then find a gym or a park.



    and make sure you hustle a lot in practice.How do I practice for basketball without a hoop or basketball?

    What does it mean for someone to clap in basketball?

    Okay, so I am trying out for my High School basketball team. Another boy who is trying out asked me if I knew how to clap. I said that I did, and I'm not sure exactly what it is or if he's using a different word for something I already know how to do. If anyone knows, could someone tell me what it is and maybe refer me to a video?

    Im planning to get one of those basketball court...one that is durable yet cheap price.What portable basketball courts are cheap but good?
    They've got a few models but this one is the best value:

    Lifetime 1221 Pro Court Height-Adjustable Portable Basketball System with 44-Inch Backboard
    List Price: $179.99
    Price: $99.99
    http://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-1221-Heig鈥?/a>

    Look at this user review that mentions its durability:

    I didn't expect this to perform like a more expensive glass backboard, but it performs fine for my kids. The assembly was simple, although the part to install the backboard and hoop requires two people. After filling the base with water (you can also use sand), I can easily tilt the pole forward to move it around given that I'm only 5'6" and weighs 150 pounds.

    I set the height of the hoop at the lowest setting of 7.5 feet, and it can be set at 6-inch increments up to 10 feet. The backboad is sturdy although it needs a better backboard support system. Since this is a portable system, the backboard is not as stable as a permanent one and the backboard does not provide as good of a bounce to the ball. I think the backboard will be more stable if I fill the base with sand instead of water.

    For $100, I'm happy with the purchase. It's durable and serves the purpose for me and my kids.

    What are your reasons for a girl not playing basketball or football?

    Just want to know your opinion. Do you think girls should or shouldn't play basketball or football? If you think they should tell me why. Or if you think they shouldn't tell me why. If it doesn't really matter, tell me why.

    Thanks everyone! I would love to hear your opinions!What are your reasons for a girl not playing basketball or football?
    Women/girls DO play basketball. I, myself, played for eleven years. They have their own professional league and everything. There isn't a reason for girls not to play basketball. It is viewed in society as acceptable, not that it should stop you if it didn't.



    Football, on the other hand, is controversial. I, personally, believe that girls can do whatever guys do. I've seen girls smaller than football-playing guys, so saying that they aren't built to handle football like men can is completely stereotypical. There have been girls who have played college football and are allowed in the NFL. I don't see why it should stop you if you want to play. I view it as discrimination if anyone says that girls CAN'T play football. It should be based on a person to person basis, not a gender basis.What are your reasons for a girl not playing basketball or football?
    Women and girls already play basketball, so I say if you want to play basketball, do it.



    As for football, women need to stay away. Football is an aggressive and very physical sport where you are hit HARD. Women are not designed to be hit like men are.What are your reasons for a girl not playing basketball or football?

    practice dribbling a lot. first try to sprint and dribble at the same time in your street or in a court (of course without looking). Then try dribbling around your feet (figure 8 motion), try that without making a mistake. then try that closing your eyes and do that. practice and practice will make you perfect. if these don't help, try searching Pete Maravich drills on youtube.



    Hope this helped!How can I work on my ball handling on basketball?
    Two ball dribbling drills are by far the best for improving your dribbling. two balls at different heights, dribbling them opposite, dribbling figure eight with two balls, behind the back/through the legs, anything you think you should be able to do with one ball, do with two.How can I work on my ball handling on basketball?
    Get 2 balls and pound them on the ground and count to 1000, do this 3 times a day along with other drills and you'll be great.

  • What should I do to prepare for high school basketball?

    Im in 7th grade, almost in 8th. I plan on playing high school basketball right away when I get in high school. What should I do to prepare starting right now?What should I do to prepare for high school basketball?
    speed and ball handling. those are the two most important aspects, you simply can't beat a team that's faster than you, or a team you can't get the ball from. just run as often as you can, work on your stamina, make carrying the ball through traffic second nature to you.
    get in shape and run a lot, play with people older than youWhat should I do to prepare for high school basketball?
    Don't let a basketball leave your hand. Walk to the school with it, walk to the pool with it, etc. Run often. Do some light lifting. You're too young to be doing more than your body weight. Practice in gyms, outside, wherever you can. Play against people often. You need to play against people to learn. Go to basketball camps. Every opportunity is a chance to learn and get better at the game.



    And my favorite, watch old school players. ESPN Classic.
    practice, practice and practice,,also set up cone in your driveway and do some speed dribblingWhat should I do to prepare for high school basketball?
    I would start hitting the weights, when you get in high school a lot of kids leave that out and are not as strong. Be in good shape, map out a plan that works for you. Run as much as you can because you want to be in the best shape you can because the difference from middle school to high school is a big change. I would sit down make a list of things that you want to accomplish and just do them. I always ran in the morning and did my work out in the afternoon. Just make sure and do it at least 3-4 times a week. Good luck!!!
    You should first start out by getting in shape. Conditioning (running) for basketball can be very tough, especially if your not in shape. Lift weights, exercise and run to help your body grow stronger so you won't have a hard time when you try out. The coach's will look for the person with the most desire for the game and physical capability to last throughout tough games.
    RUN RU RUN RUN RUN



    maybe run cross country in the fall or join some type of track team for endurance
    You should start running to build up your stamina. Start out slowly maybe a mile every other day and gradually increase. Also do a lot of ballhandling drills using both hands which will give you a heads on a lot of kids since, at that age most of them can't handle the ball with both hands. Work on those basics first and then evrything else will fall into place.

In fact they also had a gym where they had basketball goals inside too! My church doesn't have these things.What do you think of churches who have video game systems and basketball goals?
    i am frowning....that is a waste of money....USE BOARD GAMES NOT VIDEO games..
    Our church has this too in the youth lounge (I go to a really big church). It's great because every day they have "after school hangout" and the kids go up and play in a safe place. They can talk to the youth ministers if they want because they're all there. It just gives them a place to hang out.What do you think of churches who have video game systems and basketball goals?
    Sounds like the green eyed monster(jealousy) is eating your heart out.

    Do you think it is wrong for them to enjoy things that other kids enjoy?

    Just because they go to church doesn't mean they have to be bored silly.

    Maybe you ought to switch churches.

    Too much emphasis is put on recreation and NOT on what Jesus wanted us to do...that has not changed...

    Kids at your friend's church have a positive view of church because they associate it with fun, not boredom. The fun opens their ears and hearts to the message of the gospel. We cannot quarrel with that, can we?

    it is very important, you have to be in good cardio shape to run for the full game whether it be a full 48 minutes or less depending on what level you are. Playing defense alone is hard to do without cardio, because you are constantly moving and defending, and offensively you have to be moving and trying to either shoot, pass, or hit the offensive glass, so if you dont have proper cardio it can cost you points in the long run.How is Aerobic Fitness related to your success in Basketball?

    if you can't walk comfortably on it, why would you think about playing basketball; you need to ask your doc, but your leg will tell you;; your best bet is to ask the doc for a PT referral IF you intend to get back to playing a sport; 1) they can get you prepared for your sport %26amp; 2) a lot quicker than you can do this on your own;; they are the pro's who know exactly what %26amp; what NOT to do with this ankle;; %26amp; btw, just cuz you get to a point of walking, doesn't mean it can take the very high demand that playing basketball asks for..if too early, you'll be back where you started with a re-injury...could even be doing that by walking on it before it's ready..get some crutches, they'll help ya treat this leg a little better while it's healing...How long to i have to wait to play basketball if i sprained my ankle?
    if you couldnt walk for 2 days then its not a minor sprain...



    you probably sprained it very bad depending on how you sprained it (jumping and landing on someones feet??) it happened to me before and it takes atleast 2-3 weeks to heal....How long to i have to wait to play basketball if i sprained my ankle?
    until it feels right. they re-sprain easily.

    How to get recruited to play division 1 college basketball?

    I'm going to be a junior this coming up school year. I'm only 5'9 and about 150lbs. I never been on a team before but i'm looking forward to getting on one this coming up school year. Is there any tips you can give me on how to improve my game to be good enough to play d-1 college basketball. also, I'm a good shooter, my handles need to improve a little bit, and my all around game is pretty good.How to get recruited to play division 1 college basketball?
    1-get good grades



    2-practice like 6 hours a day during the summer

    try shooting the ball from every spots on the court. Mark like 25 different spots and nuber them from 1-25. Start from 1 and move on only after you make it. If the ball goes out of bounds, you start over.



    3-At 5'9, you should play point guard so try bouncing 2 basketballs and start running with them when you get better and you can bounce the ball off a wall. You should also get faster. try running up a hill at full speed at least 5 times a day and improve your stamina. Do like 15 suicides a day or run 2 miles.



    4- Since your position should be PG, have a pass first mentallity.



    5-What school you go to and where it is is also important. Weschester or Fairfax High here in LA are always one of the top teams and get a lot of notice.



    6- You should be really good if you think you can make a D1 school. Being one of those players is like 1 in a million.



    Hope I helped.How to get recruited to play division 1 college basketball?
    good shooting is a great start but shooting alone wont get you there what you need to do is go on youtube.com and look up dribbling drills and google.com would help too

    than you need to make driving a threat taking it to the hole is key to opening up your shooting game

    defense put up like 2 blocks per game or 2 steals something so they know your willing to play defense

    and GET GOOD GRADES key is to have straight Bs with maybe one c or better or your not getting to a good D1 college like UNC and ones like thatHow to get recruited to play division 1 college basketball?

  • I hurt my hamstring during the first week of basketball practice?

    I'm thirteen and during the first week of basketball practice I hurt my hamstring. I don't think I pulled it because I can still walk. My walk is more of a limp and my right hamstring hurts really bad. Please give me some good answers that don't involve not practicing.I hurt my hamstring during the first week of basketball practice?
    Injuries commonly happen during the first few weeks because players are not in shape. Before practice you should stretch to get your blood flowing and warm-up a little. This will help you in practice and you won't get injured as easily.

    How can i over come my fear of making mistakes in a basketball game?

    Every time i play in a organized basketball game i am afraid that i will make a mistake and lose my dribble or get a air ball. This fear lead me to a starter to a bench warmer. How can i over come my fear when playing a organized basketball game.How can i over come my fear of making mistakes in a basketball game?
    I'm telling you man, you just have to believe that you can do it. If you miss it doesn't really matter or turnover the ball. I mean, hey, Dwyane Wade shoots airballs and turns it over, same as Kobe and LeBron. Just be confident. And remember, practice makes perfect. Work your hardest in practice and you will improve and your confidence will be boosted.
    For me, when I get on the court on an organized basketball games, any butterflies or jitters go away. Listen to music or something to calm you down before the game. Sometimes players or the fans won't laugh at an airball, but if it's reaaalllly off then they will - but you can't miss like this kid:



    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8dcE0fOC鈥?/a>



    As long as its near the rim, don't feel to bad. You can drive to the rim, instead of settling for a jumper also. If you play strong and aggressive and focused you won't make any mistakes. Just get in the heat of the game, find a rhythm.How can i over come my fear of making mistakes in a basketball game?
    I have experienced something like this... in games I'm always afraid of missing lay-ups and I over think, this results in me missing the lay-up, I find that when i forget about my mistakes and just play, I play really well, so my advice is to just play, don't over think, forget about your mistakes and move on
    You may have heard this a million times but the key it's to practice, practice, practice. I knew this child that loved football but was really good at baseball. He wanted to play so badly. So at practice he would try to impress the coachs and try to get in the football games. And the coaches did and he rocked at football..... because of PRACTICE!!How can i over come my fear of making mistakes in a basketball game?
    just play your game and dont put too much pressure on yourelf,trust me...i used to be like that too...dont hesitate to take a shot or drive in,if it looks good take it,
    Well I know exactly what your going through. I do the same thing! Just relax say something calming to yourself. Stay confident in yourself. Forget about the mistakes and play.
    Just dont be so scared so what if you air ball you just got to keep shooting. Even the pros make mistakes but if you play scared then u will forever be horrible.
    Practice makes perfect i was like that give it time you will forget it and become a great player
    Who cares dude.. its just a game
    play with some people worse than you for a while to get your confidence up
    dont think to much play hard with confidence and u'll do fine

    at the top of your jump while shooting release the ball in front of your head, not above or beside. keep your shoulders pointed at the hoop and give the ball a high arch by snapping the wrist.

    Get in good running shape and work on agility. Play pick up games. Are you trying to walk on or something? It sounds like you don't play alot so maybe don't set your eye on making the team this year.

    How to keep good fundamental skills while playing a Basketball game?

    My fundamental skills in Basketball are very decent, such as my shooting and lay-ups, but I tend to do very terribly during a 1v1, 3v3, or a full game. It seems that I "force" my shots and other moves. How can I use my good fundamental skills during a game, and not "force" or abandon those skills just because of "excitement" and etc.How to keep good fundamental skills while playing a Basketball game?
    Relax and stay focused. Always think a step ahead. Before I get the ball or while I dribble I think about what move I will use next, then when I'm ready I enhance and do my move whether it be a pump-fake into layup, spin-dribble, double crossover or pull-up jumper. Think ahead and don't worry take your time.How to keep good fundamental skills while playing a Basketball game?
    relax, take your time and look for opportunities, if its not there then its not there. in one on one a lot of it is about footwork, speed and ball handling. you have to be able to play every position or at least have some skill at each. communication with your teammates is also a big factor, when i don't know the people im playing with or i don't feel comfortable i sometimes rush shots or make dumb mistakes, just make sure there's lots of talk on the floor and relax.

    How are basketball leagues structured in Israel?

    I understand that their is the Israel super league which is the top league in Israel. But how does a player get to try out for one of these teams? Is their college basketball or a sub league over there?How are basketball leagues structured in Israel?
    To answer you,Ligat HaAl comprises the top ten basketball clubs in Israel, and was founded in 1954.



    The league itself is most known in Europe due to the success of the Israeli teams in the European competitions such as the Euroleague, ULEB Eurocup (formerly ULEB Cup) and FIBA's EuroChallenge (formerly EuroCup). Many undrafted and free agent players from Europe and the NBA play in the Israeli league as an alternative to NBA competition.



    The league is the first division in Israeli basketball: the two teams that finish last in a season are relegated to the Second Division, while the Second Division's top 8 teams compete in a play-off system right after the end of the regular season, with the teams that reach the final series being promoted to the Premier League for the following season. The four teams that finish the season on top in Ligat HaAl compete against each other for the Championship title in a "Final Four" tournament format.

  • How do you get yourself mentally ready for a basketball game?

    I am a basketball player with great skill on the offensive and defensive side. I have an NBA shot which goes in nearly everytime, i am an excellent rebounder offensivly and defensivly, i am a fantastic dribbler so good that i am 6' tall and i am an SF and PG on my AAU team. I have been told by coaches and other players that i may have a chance at playing in the NBA but the problem is i sometimes i have off games and i want to fix this. Can you guys help me out?How do you get yourself mentally ready for a basketball game?
    Whenever I have good games, i know it's because i belittle the other team. I keep in my mind that i'm better than them. but don't trash talk to them like that. Just keep in your mind that you are better than everybody else on the other team, but not ur own squad.
    Yea, find a song or a saying that you listen to or say to yourself that gets you on track, make sure it fits your attitude, if you play focused, get a focused song, if you play loose make sure its a more up-beat and energetic song, i know every time before i shoot a free throw i say, " you could hate me now" from a jj redick highlight tape i watched, and it gets me focused, and also make sure your teammates are in the game because if there off task and not focused you wont be either a quality of an nba player is leadership. good luckHow do you get yourself mentally ready for a basketball game?

    Everybody has off games. You just have to keep on working on your game to the point where you are like lebron where your off game could be someone's best game. Mentally just be prepared for your opponent. Hope you do well!
    Well even nba players have off games...

    To get up for my games i usually just dont think about them and treat them like practices. I just get all ready and bounce around to music.... then when the game comes i just turn it on
    listen to pump up music such as:

    Right round

    Remember the name

    and Stronger.

    Also, take some alone time to think about what you need to accomplish.
    listen to music and go into "power mode". dont think about anything except the game
    Just exercise practive taking shots, listen to some music just relax

    How do I get better ball control in basketball?

    is there some way to dribble the basketball or anything to get my ball control better? or should i just dribble the ball normally alot?How do I get better ball control in basketball?
    Well there are a quick ways to improve ball handling, like dribbling the ball closer to the ground. Also you can keep your hand on the ball for a little bit longer, try catching the ball from the side when you dribble instead of directly on top of it. You'll see almost every pro player doing this, the only trick is to not let your hand go past 90 degrees, because then its a carry.



    But for more dramatic results, you need to do ball handling workouts. search "2 ball dribbling drills" in Youtube and you will get a bunch of good results. Practicing with 2 balls will give you much better results, and afterwards dribbling with one hand will be a breeze for you.How do I get better ball control in basketball?
    Try to get both hands acquainted with the ball. Dribble the ball with the left hand through the legs. Then try dribbling the ball with the right hand through the legs. Do multiple dribbling drills,etc.How do I get better ball control in basketball?

  • How Do You Get More Playing Time In Basketball?

    I play on a local basketball team. I had to tryout and I made the team. I know im good, because I wouldnt be on the team if I wasnt. Im usually on the bench 3/4 of the game. There are these little six graders 4`5 getting more playing time than me and im in 7th grade. It disturbs me to no end because I KNOW im better than 3/4 of the team. Yet im playing 1 minute a game. Can anyone give me advice?How Do You Get More Playing Time In Basketball?
    Hustle hustle hustle...its not about how good you are at that age, its about who puts the most into it...change your attitude and if you have the skills you will get your PT
    well in middle school basketball, the coaches have to let everyone get some minutes, no matter how good or bad you are. If you made the team, you'll get minutes. Maybe he's letting the little kids feel good? idk, but in high scool basketball, the starters often play for the whole game.



    Edit: if all else fails, suck up to the coachHow Do You Get More Playing Time In Basketball?
    You probably are not as good as you think you are . Frankly, you don't sound like a team player. Basketball is a team sport. If you are serious you should respectfullly ask your coach how you can get into the game more -- and don't tell the coach that you are better than the guys he's playing.
    When you're on the court be more aggressive, want the ball, call for the ball. Fight for the rebound. Jump higher, score more, be a team player. Create assists, hustle. Listen to your coach. Listen in practice and play just as hard in practice as in the game. Leave all of your energy on the court every time you play. Encourage your teammates at practice, on the bench, and in the game. Don't foul. Help your teammates. Don't be selfish. Get your points or just do what you do best. Play your role and if nothing changes at least you've done your best and worked your hardest and you should not be ashamed!How Do You Get More Playing Time In Basketball?
    even if your good playing bBall compared to ur teammates ..i think coaches will give you lots of playing time if you have the heart and attitude..whats the use of being a good player that you think if you dont have the respect and teamwork that your coach looks to his boys..



    i guess thats another thing that you need to consider..



    i belong to the varsity team thats why somehow i can understand your situation..
    in practice show your coach how determine and hardworking you are. If you want to play long minutes you need to work your *** for it. Doesnt matter if your 7th grade and the others are 4th graders.

    I'm going to try out for JV basketball this year. I know I need to build endurance. And practice shooting. What else should I do?How should I workout to get ready for basketball?
    Practice dribbling in addition to your shooting. You also need to make sure that when you practice, whatever you can do with your dominant hand you should work on with your non-dominant hand as well. This makes you harder to guard and more of an asset to your team. If it comes down to you and another person for the team, the coach will be looking for what sets you apart and versatility always helps. Most of all have fun and be as coachable as possible...meaning, be open to what the coaches advise you to do.
    well it matters if your 11 or older you should work out your legs so your not lazy to jump or run! just shake you legs around or stand on 1 leg and pull the other 1 back so it almost toches your back!How should I workout to get ready for basketball?
    just do all the small things and do them right like diving after all loose balls you can get to, taking charges when avaible, go after every rebound (dont know your height but if you are a small player coaches love seeing the little ppl going after rebounds) , playing good-hard nose defense is another one, and every time you get the ball make the most of it wheather its passing to an open teammate, shooting when the opportunity presents itself, using ball screens, etc. well hope this helped out.
    Nothing. Get in shape. Be able to score. That's the essence of the game.How should I workout to get ready for basketball?
    Eat lots of burritos
    Do a bunch of wall jumps every day... these are standing against a very tall wall and jumping up and down as fast and as high as you can every time for mayb 5 min a day.... This helps with legs strength and explosiveness...... It will also help your recovery timing so that u can dominate the boards..... also run a lot...... don't just shoot by your self play a bunch of pick up basketball games with some of the kids that might be better than you because there is no other way to simulate a game plus if the kids are better it will make you push yourself more.... also start to hit the gym and lift atleast every other day so that you are stronger plus it helps build endurance and helps with coordination..... also i'd say hang out with the other kids trying out for the team, coaches love kids who are liked by the team because it shows that everyone respects them so if you do all this and the things you say you will it will show the coaches your great work ethic and help you a lot too
    Some weight training would also be good. Work on both your legs and your shoulders. For your legs, work on things that simulate jumping (squats and heel lifts) and playing defense (adductor machine).

    Be sure to practice shooting with good shooting form. Otherwise, you are getting good at being bad.

    Work on dribbling as well, especially crossover dribbling at game speed, not jogging speed.

    Play pick up games whenever you can. Game experiences make you better.

  • How can I increase my vertical leap in Basketball ?

    How can I jump higher in basketball ? I'm 11 years old and 5'3" and I have a vertical jump of 21 inches and I want to jump higher.Can anyone give me some tips on how can I gain some inches in my jump ?How can I increase my vertical leap in Basketball ?
    look up some exercises on something called plyometrics. its like stuff that makes you get a lot more power. i know your only 11, im 16 but when i was your age i did a lot of exercises for strength and you need strength to jump higher. ok now im rambling on haha. what you need is a mix of speed and strength. that creates power and helps you jump higher. but yeah just jumping around DOES actually help, but obviously there are a lot better ways to do this
    Just keep on jumpin jumpin Lolz practice baby

    I luv bb btw ;)How can I increase my vertical leap in Basketball ?
    well you can start jumping rope, standing in one place and start jumping as high as you can, you can get blocks and jump on them then jump off, so on and so forth until you are ready to increase the hight, another good way is to run up and down hills, you also want to stretch before and after these exercises.
    Do cone jumps, jump over benches and explosion squats ( jump from a squat position and catch yourself). Don't train everyday though , do it every other day and get some rest. Trust me my football trainer taught me these things and now i can catch like Moss.How can I increase my vertical leap in Basketball ?
    i have been coaching basketball the past 8 years. jumping higher is an added factor to excel in basketball game in and game out. how to achieve a higher leap, when you do your regular jogging, it is best to strap some weights on your waist, and on your legs. during practice and drills, putting on weights will allow you to develop your jumping skills.
    At your age you should probably just keep being active and playing sports. That alone will make you stronger, faster, and more athletic in general. When you hit puberty you can start lifting weights. Squats will be the best thing for you. If you can start out by getting strong, you will create a lot of potential for huge athletic gains in the future. Read this report http://www.mediafire.com/?jyyzmd3zimd

    How can I build up my stamina for basketball?

    Hi,



    I'm looking to build up my stamina for basketball so I am able to run back and forth for long periods of time.



    Where I live there is alot of snow outside during the winter, so running or biking is not an option for me. I have a membership and a gym, however, it does not feature an indoor track.



    What are some ways I can build my stamina at home, or at the gym?



    Thanks!How can I build up my stamina for basketball?
    There is a tried and true exercise used in football practice that takes very little space, and will do just what you want.



    Run in place fast for about 15 seconds, then drop all the way down to the ground on to your stomach as fast as you can, and then instantly get back up and start running in place again for 15 seconds and keep repeating. Do this about ten times, take a short break, then repeat the whole thing three more times.
    Does the gym have a treadmill? You can run on that for a couple hours everyday... that should help.How can I build up my stamina for basketball?
    I agree that you should check for a treadmill in the gym. I usually run for about 30-45 minutes at least three times a week. I don't know if you play any street ball or anything (at your gym perhaps) but I like to run on days that I play basketball.



    Try running on the treadmill and then go play full court games after. You will be so used to playing full court while tired that running in a real game will seem easy.
    is there any mountains with high altitude u can climb.

    Since there's air u use ur air less and then when u get to normal altitude ur will have an increase in performance.

    Thats what bikers do.How can I build up my stamina for basketball?
    Maybe u could go to the stadium for a jog from 1-2 hours or more,try eating lesser greasy food and eat more veggie.i do not like to eat veggie myself,but its good for building up your body.try doing pull ups in the fittness corner and maybe push ups at home?and practice more.

    good luck!

  • What Muscle is the most important for a basketball shot?

    What Muscle is the most important for a basketball shot?What Muscle is the most important for a basketball shot?
    The triceps, which extend the arm from bent to straight, exactly what a shot motion is.What Muscle is the most important for a basketball shot?
    Hi,



    This is a difficult question because it can be answered in so many ways. If you are asking what muscle is used the most for shooting, it is the forearm muscle. The muscle from your wrist to your elbow. When you shoot you are using the flick of the wrist to get back spin, arc, and distance too.



    Your legs are very important too because if you do not use them your shot will always be short, but I don't think it is necessary to workout your legs to improve your shot. Just make sure to use them when shooting to get lift on the ball.

    How come I have trouble scoring in a basketball game?

    I'm 10th grade and currently in the JV basketball team. I'm very quick and can shoot the ball well, jumpers and 3 pointers. When we have scrimmages in practice, my shooting percentage is about 50 - 60%. But when it comes to games, I have trouble scoring and I don't know why. Our team has played 3 games and I'm 0 - 6 shooting. Any suggestions?How come I have trouble scoring in a basketball game?
    Well that happened to me when i was in 10th grade(i am presently in 12th grade). it is probably just nervousness because i get nervous too when it comes to games. Just Focus on the Basket ignore everything else. Keep your eyes on the hoop and when your in the air( about to shoot) try thinking about you are alone and nothing else is there just you and the basketball court. It helps, all of those distractions, people yelling, cheering, and chanting bothers you. I just only shoot jumpers when i am open and know I have a high percent chance of making it. Or maybe in practice time you can try making shots from 5 different parts of the court 3 inside and 2 outside. Then you can master those areas and you will know the right amount of power to put in the shot and viola, use my method of imaging you and the basketball court only and you'll be sinking those shots.
    Try to get involved early in the game, you know take early shots in the game. If you need a little motivation to get you going try faking shots and driving it in into the basket. Another you can do is stay focused defensly, a steal or a block can easily motivate you to start playing offense better.How come I have trouble scoring in a basketball game?
    I definitely had that same problem back in 7th grade. The only reason it happened to me is because I didn't play so good under pressure. I tried tuning it out, but that only works for some people, not me, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try it. You can also try scrimmaging under pressure, that might work.
    the good thing about your situation is that it is only jv. everyone i know says playing jv is way more fun than playing actual high school games since its way more laid back. my advice is just to go out there and play like its a pick up game, like you have nothing to lose and you should feel a lot more comfortable.How come I have trouble scoring in a basketball game?
    do u get nervous before games??? if u do it could be that you have more confidence in your scrimmages b/c you know you can score off them... but as for playing games against other teams... maybe your nerves and lack of confidence ruin your shot.... hope this helps! sry if it doesnt...
    be focused on the rim and the basket and DONT be afraid to make the shot
    get ASSISTS! haha I don't shoot much either i only score like 4 a game
    post up get layups and put back easy butckets


    u suck.

  • What is the best way to train to become a good basketball player?

    You see I am 5feet 3 and I really like basketball and I want a training programme so that I will be able to play on the basketball team when I go to high school for my fresshman yearWhat is the best way to train to become a good basketball player?
    You must play everyday, and dedicate as much time as you can.

    1. Dribble, all day, while playing, while laying down, while walking. keep dribbling until the ball feels like second nature to you, also keep your head up while dribbling. Also keep in mind that through the legs all the time does not make you kobe.

    2. Shoot- practice on your release, make sure your release is almost identical every time. Remember that a shot is not just arms, wrist and fingertips, you must also use your legs. I use to say in my head a simple phrase, "Release, Rotation, Splash". Meaning keep my arc straight, keep the rotation perfect, and splash, make the ball go in and return towards you once the shot goes in. If you can make your shot do these things you can be good enough to not only be in the team, but be a consistently good player.

    3. Run- You must make sure you can keep up with the rest of the people, and also make sure that you are not tired by the first minutes of playing.

    4. considering your height, you must be able to shoot well, and dribble extremely well, and playing great defense does not hurt, so in order to develop all these things together you must play as much as you can, and give 100% all the time.
    With your height, I'd say the best way to become good is to somehow make everyone else you'll ever face worse. Being perceived as 'good' is relative anyway. I'm a 'good' basketball player compared to senior citizen basketball players and people your height and under.

    So I'd say your training should consist of ways to poison opponents before every game. Maybe give opponents complimentary dinners with poison the night before games or something. You'll become better in no time. I have a source on a book that might prove useful below.What is the best way to train to become a good basketball player?
    The best training is to play. Play everyday and after you play work on your individual skills. Basketball is a sport that you have to practice everyday if not you will lose what you have
