Shooting a basketball isn't as easy as just picking up a ball and lofting it into the air toward the hoop. A good shot has to be practiced and developed. You must always be aware of angles and distance from the hoop. The standard rule for shooting is BEEF, which stands for balance, eyes, elbow, and follow through. While helpful, this only scratches the surface of a good basketball shot. There are far more mechanics and rules involved in making the perfect shot.
Step 1
Set your lower body and face the hoop with your feet a
shoulder width apart. Position yourself on the balls of your feet. Don't stand
flat-footed or up on your toes. Keep your dominant foot slightly forward and
your knees bent.
Step 2
Set your upper body by keeping your back straight. Keep your
butt out slightly.
Step 3
Set your arms. Your shooting arm should form an L shape. Keep
your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle and your arm straight up and down. Keep
your wrist cocked back at a 90-degree angle, with your fingers pointing back at
you. Your non-shooting arm should be raised next to the other one, with that
hand assisting in the shot.
Step 4
Set your hands. The palm of your shooting hand should never
touch the basketball, only the fingertips. Keep your fingers spread apart
evenly and comfortably. Keep your hand under the ball. Your non-shooting hand
should be on the side of the basketball, lightly guiding and supporting it.
Step 5
Execute the shot in one fluid motion. Many things will happen
at once. Bend your knees and straighten them out as you release the basketball.
Roll from the balls of your feet to your toes to gain momentum. Raise the ball
from your chest to above your head and shoot from the center of your body. Push
your arms up and toward the basket. Flick your wrist and release the ball.
Follow through and keep your shooting arm pointing toward the basket.
