Step 1) Keep your feet shoulder width apart and keep them slightly bent.

Step 2) Grip the ball so that your dominant hands fingers are spread apart on the ball and the other had is supporting the ball.

Step 3) The seems of the ball must go across your hand. Make sure that the ball is on your fingertips not your palm.

Step 4) The ball should be brought to your head in one smooth motion, at this point your shoulder, elbow, and wrist should make a 90 degree angle.

Top 3 players in NBA history.

The criteria that I will be ranking the top 3 players will be: Points per game,Points in career, Assists per game, Assists in career, Rebounds per game, Career blocks, Free throw percentage, Field goal percentage, games played (minimum of 800), MVP's and of course Championships won.

1) Michael "His Airness" Jordan
Michael Jordan single handedly turned the Chigago Bulls into a dynasty and a powerhouse for many years. His career stats are inpeccable: PPG - 30.1, Pts - 32,292, APG - 5.3, Ast - 5,633, RPG - 6.2, Blks - 893, FT% - 83.5, FG% - 49.7, GP - 1,072, MVP's - 5, Championships won - 6. There's a reason why they call him the greatest off all time, and just for a bonus stat, he is a 2 time olympic gold medalist.

2) Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain
Wilt Chamberlain was the most dominant player of his time as a LA Laker. His ability to score and rebound at will makes him 2nd place. Just take a look at his amazing stats: PPG - 30.1, Pts - 31,419, APG - 4.4, Ast - 4,643, RPG - 22.9, Blks - N/A, FT% - 51.1, FG% - 54, GP - 1,045, MVP's - 4, Championships won - 2. Wilt "The Stilt" was still able to put those incredible numbers up, even though he would be double or triple teamed every game. Just for a bonus stat, his career high in points in a game was 100 points.

3) Larry "Legend" Bird
Larry Bird was known as a great all round player for the Boston Celtics, but he was mostly known for his remarkable shooting beyond the arc. He was so good at shooting that during practice he would shoot with his eyes closed. His career stats: PPG - 24.3, Pts - 21,791, APG - 6.3, Ast - 5,695, RPG - 10, Blks - 755, FT% - 88.6, FG% - 49.6, GP - 897, MVP's - 3, Championships won - 3. Larry "Legend" Bird was the franchise player during the Boston Celtics dynasty and his numbers don't lie, which is why he was ranked #3. A bonus stat for Larry is that he as well is an Olympic gold medalist.

If I could have any superpower it would have to be super speed. Just think that if you were late for school you could be there in a matter of seconds, or if your really hungry you could get food in an instant. You wouldn't even not to use a vehicle to go places because you would be faster than them, and you would be helping the environment by not releasing harmful gases. So, if I could have any super power, Super speed would be it.
