How To Shoot A Basketball

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.
Step 5) While extending your knees, extend your forearm at the same time and snap your wrist just before full extension. The ball should last touch you middle finger.
Step 6) Make sure to follow through with your wrist (like putting your hand in the cookie jar).
Note: Step 5 should be performed simultaneously with step 4.
If you follow these 6 easy steps, your shooting will be just like Michael Jordan's... and we all know what he did in the NBA.
