Maybe jump shot is not as exciting as slam dunk or ankle breaking cross over, but it is the key to win basketball games.
In order to make a freeze pull-up jumper (to freeze the defender), you need to make some great deceptive moves, such as between the legs, behind the back etc. But all these beautiful moves mean nothing until you make the jump shot.
One of the most common mistake people make is to catch the ball at the wrong place when they finish dribbling. One of the
most important thing about shooting off the dribble is: pick up the ball in front of your shooting knee.
If you pick up the ball somewhere else, you need an extra step to bring it in front of the shooting knee. Sometimes that will cause you off-balance, sometimes will slow your pace and good defender can knock it off.
Check out one of the greatest shooters in NBA: Ray Allen’s jump shooting, and take a close look at how he catches the ball off the dribble.
“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”

LEARN THE SHOTS THE PROS USE

The “Runner” is easier than most believe. Essentially it is a jump shot off one foot rather than two. When an offensive player has a defender on his back hip, he does not always have time to pull-up and shoot. Therefore, he may utilize the runner to shoot successfully. As with any shot, the shooter must get balanced before he shoots and must square to the basket; run into the shot by jumping off one foot, in stride, and floating into the shot. Shoot the ball high, as most player miss short because they fail to shoot up, pushing the ball at the basket instead. Read the rest of this entry »
EUGENE, Ore. — That Eugene has hosted the U.S. Olympic track and field trials more times than any other city is not surprising. What is shocking is that this year’s trials are the first held here since 1980, more than a quarter-century ago.
Not to demean any other city, but where would you want to hold America’s most important track meet, other than the city that calls itself “Track Town, USA” and gave rise to Steve Prefontaine and Nike? Read the rest of this entry »
