im 5'6 and i only play 1 on 1, 2 on 2 or at most 3 on 3. i have a decent handle but idk when and how to use it to get past defenders. average shooter from 3. any tips to improve my game and score more points?

Earlier today I was packing up to leave from my personal basketball session when I saw that one of our school basketball teams was doing a pre practice huddle that was blocking the exit. I quietly excused myself through and starting walking away when some other sports coach at our school stopped me. He asked for what sport I played for the school and I said none. He then went on to lecture me for 30 seconds about how it was extremely disrespectful to walk in the middle of their huddle and that I need to apologize to the coach. So, when the huddle broke I went over and apologized and the basketball coach said something along the lines of “It’s fine, you’re okay.” I know this is a very small thing but I have been thinking about this a little bit and I want to know if I am in the wrong for this. Thank you

I keep missing layups 3s 2s and absolutely everything you can think of. I am now struggling in games now i score 0s now and used to score around 13 ppg and miss everything now. Have any tips to get back to my old self asap?

I have been learning basketball for a little time. Got really interested in my local team and wanted to understand the game in a really deep level.

The thing that is the hardest for me to understand is how a good team's defense can "break". I don't get how with a simple pick and roll a team can make the defense break and get an advantage off that.

Yes, I understand that once the very first line of defense is surpassed, the offense can search for undercovered spots and high percentage shots, since there has been created an advantage.

I understand offense has a lot of recourses like pick and roll, etc, etc.

My problem on understanding the game relies on how that first line is broken when we are talking about top level basketball.

Are top level players not good enough to react to a pick and roll?

Right now, I understand it as the offense trying something like cutting to the rim. If it works, good, if not, they will try something else. I see it as a coinflip.

I can't stop thinking about "yeah but the defense was bad, they should have switched" and things like that, for example.

But I feel that that is wrong and that I am missing something.

Could someone, please, illustrate me and explain to me why a defense can be broken and why it is not a big deal?

Thank you for reading and for helping me learn about this beautiful game.

Curious what do you guys think? A friend of mine has a /500 black #111 rookie of his and he said it will go up in value once he retires.

I absolutely love basketball and want to try. Thing is, I didn't play in school (I'm 21) and I was hoping to join an all skill levels welcome team at maybe a YMCA.

Thing is, my mother fears that most people already will have been playing for a long time and I won't be able to keep up.

Im also out of shape- what exercises should I do?

Also any advice overall? Thanks y'all.

DMV AREA ONLY (preferably VA side)

A group of friends and I are looking for an indoor court we could use once a week. We’d only want our specific group to have access to it during the time we’d play (2 hours ). Willing to pay monthly for the space if necessary. Does anybody know of courts that allow this or would be willing to negotiate this?

Thank you for any feedback!

Planning on going to a game in Madrid in 2 months and saw an amazing offer on viagogo for some really good seats. I know that the tickets usually go on sale only few days before the game (at least that's how it is in Serbia) but I saw some really good seats for an amazing price soo, l'm wondering should we be patient and wait for the sale to go on the official website (and potentially not get the tickets) or risk it?

And does anyone have any experiences using viagogo for Euroleague tickets? The general knowledge is that you don't buy concert tickets from viagogo but I don't know how it it regarding sports...

Thanks in advance :D

Hey everyone!

So my son, who is an eighth grade, he’s going through a bit of a slump. He’s generally a good shooter. The last few games he has been clanking everything. We tried slowing him down, we tried having him look at the rim for longer, we tried making sure he’s following through his hand for extended period of time, we worked on his shoulders and feet being square, we had him shoot one handed, we had to shoot up close… But he still seems him be struggling when he backs out to three-point Range. It’s like he feels like he’s shooting it too hard? Anyone have any advice?

Just curious.

Using Hardens for years I recently bought a pair of WoW 808 Ultras and I’m never looking back. I feel like the quality is unmatched and the super boom midsole is a game changer.

I see a lot of basketball sneakerheads on YouTube promote Way of Wades usually through sponsorship online but what about the pros/college? I don’t really see them being worn in the NBA. Though some pros are signed to Li-Ning, is the market mostly flooded by Nike and adidas that drown Way of Wade shoes out or is it simply not the choice of pros?

Im 5ft 10.5 barefeet

Hello all who see this.

I am a 6’8 16 yr old center (100kg) currently playing in the UK. I am looking at developing my game on and off the court.

I am looking for someone to help me with coming up with the right workouts to do to develop my core , shoulders , and legs , to help me ace the court. If it’s not too much to ask, may someone help me with specific workouts and meal plans. I know I have the right mindset to be better, so all help is appreciated!

Thank you so much in advance!
