Chris And I'm the rawest SG(shooting guard) and im better than 80% of yall in SF(small forward) i'll play any of ya in (2 on 2) (5 on 5) and especially in a 1 ON 1 game. ill break ur ankles any day. 9/15/2009
Chris Um I play basket and you are not supposed to shoot with two hands. You are supposed to shoot with one because of accuracy reasons. If you shoot with two hands you put power on both hands and the ball will go to the sides of the basket if you slightly put more power on one had and can miss the basket most of the time. Sure you shoot with more power but you are most likely going to miss. With one hand you have less power but you will make it from close range. practice on your range and you will eventually make it from the 3 point line.
I put this up as a helper and so you wont get laugh at when good players watch you play. Just a thought.

Herman don't shoot with both hands. use your dominant hand to propel the ball into the air, using the off hand to keep the ball in your dominant hand. dont use the off hand to propel the ball at all. 6/9/2009
