Jump Shot : Basketball Tips And Skills

basketball In basketball, a jump shot is an attempt to score a basket by jumping, usually straight up, and in mid-jump, propelling the ball in an arc into the basket. It is accomplished by the player bringing his or her elbow up until it is aligned with the hoop, then sent towards the hoop in a high arc. It is considered the easiest shot to make from a distance. The purposes of the jump are to make it more difficult for the defender to block, and to put more power behind the shot. It is also usually accomplished with one hand by the NBA players. It is the most effective in open play but can prove to be hard when there is a taller player in front of you. basketb...

The team USA U19 squad and Paul Hewitt got a wake-up call over the weekend with a 101-72 drubbing at the hands of Lithuania. Not exactly exciting news for Mason's new head coach but remember it was an exhibition game. Team USA shot 2-for-15 and were down 32-8 in the 1st quarter. They never got closer than 15 points for the remainder of the game. The 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship for Men is being held June 30-July 10 in Valmiera, Liepaja and Riga, Latvia.

Up And Under : BAsketball Tips And Skills

basketball The up and under is a move consisting of two parts, a shot fake (the up) and a step-through (the under). First the player with the ball fakes a shot by thrusting the ball above his head as if to take a shot, then when the defender jumps in an attempt to block the shot, the offensive player steps by him and attempts a clear, unguarded shot. The up and under basketball shooting move consists of not two but three phases:  The 'up' phase, the 'hang' phase, and the 'under' phase.  Basically, you leap and fake a lay-up in the air by holding the ball up, get by your defender in the air, and do an actual lay-up in a second timing before you land.  First, it takes a decent long jump to perform this advanced basketball shooting...

Tear Drop : Basketball Tips And Skills

basketball The basketball shooting technique called "tear drop" is also referred to as the floater.  Both of them are very descriptive names in that the basketball shot seems to "float" over the defender and drop into the hoop so lightly as if it were a drop of tears.  It is an alternate basketball shooting move in a layup where you take the step-and-a-half early and while jumping forward, you shoot the basketball over your defender before he jumps. To do a decent tear drop, you will need to combine two things at the opposite sides of a pole.  You need to have speed to dribble and force your opponent back while you need the body balance in the air to withstand contact.  Most importantly, you need to have a excellent eyesight...

Lay up : Basketball Tips And Skills

basketball A layup in basketball is a two-point shot attempt made by leaping from below, laying the ball up near the basket, and using one hand to bounce it off the backboard and into the basket.

When doing a layup, the player lifts the outside foot, or the foot away from the basket Lay-up gives rise to basketball scoring without halting a burst. Once you get up in the air, there are many ways to manoeuvre the ball provided you increase your vertical jump to certain level.  Yet, before you take off in the air, there are basically two ways to approach the basketball hoop and lay the ball in.  Spalding Lay-Up...

Reverse Lay Up : Basketball Tips And Skills

basketball Reverse lay-up, or simply the reverse, is a lay-up using the backboard and done with your back facing the basketball hoop and often your defender after you blow by him.
