About this product
Inspired by a 2002 ad campaign, the Air Raid 'Roswell Raygun' features a look inspired by the fictional ABA team of the same name. Built with an orange mesh base, the shoe's upper is overlaid by black nubuck, with a cross-strap design securing the fit. A Roswell Rayguns basketball graphic marks the woven tongue tag, while 'For Outdoor Use Only,' the shoe's unofficial tagline, appears on the heel. Underfoot, a high-cut PU midsole and carbon-loaded rubber outsole anchor the build.

What Pros Wear: Jason's Basketball Wish List for Holiday 2020
Editor’s Note: I asked our basketball editor, Jason, who pores over basketball gear all year long, to come up with his faves for the holidays.
Note to Santa, these are the coolest basketball shoes and apparel on my wish list for 2020.
Nike Kobe 5 “Bruce Lee”
Move like water in these bad boys
The sneaker I’ve been anticipating forever dropped this year… and I struck out. The Nike Kobe 5 “Bruce Lee” dropped more than a decade ago and those iconic “Enter The Dragon” claw marks have made quite a few appearances on sneakers since.
Nothing tops the originator though, and I’ve been feverishly stalking StockX as resell prices start to drop. You can stalk along with me (but not for my size 8.5 thanks) at this LINK.
Carmelo Anthony Portland Trail Blazers Jersey
Insert “Anthony” here
The true Melo (sorry LaMelo) was a revelation last year, helping the Blazers sneak into the playoffs after a tough start. I was hunting for a Melo jersey everywhere but couldn’t track one down. Hopefully old St. Nick blesses me with one of these custom Jordan Brand red jerseys on the 25th.
You can also go for a Robert Covington jersey at this LINK, or even customize your own jersey.
For the OG Sneakerhead: Nike Air Raid
If you got got some trash to talk like Tim Hardaway in the classic Air Raid commercial seen below, maybe you should cop that sneaker.
This was the first outdoor sneaker that Nike made way back in the 90s, and still holds up on the black top. If they put back up the rims at your local park, the Air Raid is a good choice to break some ankles. Grab your pair at Nike Store.
For the Futuristic Hooper: Nike Adapt BB 2.0 “MAG”
Ready to go Back to the Future?
Great Scott, these are awesome. If shoe laces aren’t your thing, you’ll love the self-lacing Nike Adapt BB 2.0. This MAG colorway was directly inspired by the self-lacing shoes that Marty McFly laced up in back to the future. From the colorful dots, to the paint splatter midsole, nostalgia is in full effect for these bad boys.
Use CYBER25 until the end of day on December 1 to get these for 25% off at Nike Store HERE.
adidas Dame 6 “Ruthless”
Dame got career-high buckets in these
The Dame 7 might be the latest in Lillard’s signature line, but these loud Dame 6s have my eye. Damian dropped massive buckets in this “Ruthless” colorway, living up to the nickname by eviscerating the Golden State Warriors for 61 back in January 2020. Oh hey, I wrote about that moment and you can watch the highlights HERE.
Grab a pair below retail at StockX.
Literally Any Basketball Hoop
Who misses hooping?
Not gonna lie, the last 8 months has been rough without hooping. As mentioned above, park rims have been taken down and school rims locked away. Yelling “KOBE” at the trash can will only get me so far. If you’re interested, you can currently find many hoops for 50% off at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Jordan Chimney Hoodie/ T-Shirt
Whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, the classic Jordan Santa ad design deserves to be under your tree this Christmas. I was lucky enough to grab the hoodie last year and it appears the 2020 restock has sold out at most spots. We did find the shirt at Champs and sizes of the hoodie at Sheikh Shoes though.
And with that, I must end with the vintage Michael Jordan ad featuring the bearded one himself. Happy Holidays to all our readers!
Basketball coaching hacks: how to score goals for beginners
Even if you are a novice basketball player, we will not give you a training plan, but we will tell you why the ball flies anywhere but into the ring and into your hands. It's all about technique: even with regular training and perseverance, novice adults and children often make simple mistakes. It's a shame, let's fix it. Below are 11 life hacks on how to hone your technique to increase the likelihood of a goal for your team.
Basketball Shot Rules for Beginners
1. Hands up
In pursuit of the attacker, raise your hands, even if you are standing with your back to the pass, and even more so if the ring is in front of you. Your raised hands will increase the chance of intercepting the ball from the opponent by 2 times. Don't overlook this little thing!
2. Make shield rolls
Even Tim Duncan did not neglect them! A square is drawn on the basketball backboard. If you are standing opposite the ring, then aim at the middle of the upper part of the square, if you are standing on the side, then at the corner. If you hit this square, then the ball is at 90% of cases will fall into the ring. The law of physics and no cheating!
3. Look at the ring, not at the ball
Practice driving the ball with your hand, not your eyes, develop tactile control. Your eyes should be on the hoop while dribbling and be aware of the position of your body in relation to the hoop. Then you will be able to take the correct posture, and the throw will be effective.
4. Dribble with the balls of your fingers only
The palm should not touch the ball, only the pads of the fingers. Dribbling should become familiar to you, like an extension of your hand. Then you can change its trajectory at any time and you will have more chances to score goals. Practice with the ball constantly.
5. Throw with one hand
If you throw the ball with two hands, you reduce the chance of hitting the basket. All the efforts of the throw are in one hand (in the right for right-handers, in the left for left-handers). The other hand only holds the ball, the leading one holds it with the fingers, not the palm.
6. Do not jump when protecting the ring
Jumping is the main mistake of rookie defenders. To intercept the ball and block the shot, simply stick out your hands. When you are in a jump, the attacker will easily bypass you.
7. Don't look back
When you dribble, don't look back, but dribble and aim for the ring, focus on shooting (or passing to another player on your team).
8. Bring the throw to automatism
Incorporate the most basic basketball techniques into your training plan and bring the shot to automatism. Throw first from a distance of half a meter from the ring, gradually increasing it. Learn to throw the ball so that it hits the hoop without touching the edge.
Throw the ball with all fives and jump
Throwing Rules:
Head in the center of the body - if tilted, accuracy is lost.
Look at the ring: mentally build a trajectory. If you are far away, the ball flies in a curved curve with a maximum height of 2 meters above the hoop.
A strong hand is in front and throws, a weak hand is on the side and directs, only holding the ball. The elbow of the throwing hand must be in line with the ring.
The ball must rest on the fingers without touching the palm. The fingers are as far apart as possible and grab the ball.
Throwing arm bent 90 degrees, forearm perpendicular to the floor. If you bend less, then you get not a throw, but a throwing of the ball horizontally.
The main thing in the throw is the position of the body and its balance. Place your feet apart and parallel to each other: it is important to orient them in the middle of the basket. Then the direction of the body during the jump will coincide with the direction of the throw, and the ball will fly straight into the ring. When the feet are uneven, the ball flies in the wrong direction or does not reach (although the throw was normal).
Take a deep breath and release as you exhale.
How to hold the ball and shoot in basketball
How to throw correctly: straighten your arm, point your wrist up, and with your hand set the ball to rotate in the opposite direction from the flight. The ball should seem to "roll" off your fingers.
9. Copy masters and play as a team
Watch professional basketball games and try to copy the movements of your favorite players in training. And be sure to conduct game sparring - this will allow you to develop more techniques.
10. Do not throw in a straight line
The higher the arc of the ball, the greater the chance of a goal and the less chance of blocking by the opponent.
11. Do not throw the ball from a full height stand
This is the biggest newbie mistake!
Before the throw, bend your knees slightly and at the moment of the throw, straighten your body, making a jump. You need to straighten up and push off the ground at the same time. When squatting, keep the elbow of the throwing arm close to the body and towards the ring.
The jump will give momentum to the ball and will allow you not to make sudden movements with the brush.
***
And to be a long-term player, do not forget about your health: take care of your joints and muscles, use tapes, do a warm-up. And be sure to strengthen your arms, legs and shoulder girdle, develop coordination. Regular exercises on uneven bars and horizontal bars will help you with this.

What techniques exist and how they differ
Let's first deal with the definition: playing techniques are skills that a professional player must possess. Sounds simple, but what exactly are the skills in basketball? What should an amateur who wants to improve the performance of his game pay attention to? Let's figure it out.
The main goal in basketball is to successfully hit the ball into the basket, and everything that happens on the court only brings the players to this moment. There are skills that basketball players work out in training to bypass rivals and make a successful shot.
Before we list them, let us remind you that basketball is a team sport, and even the most successful players do not master all the tricks perfectly. With a serious approach to training, you should decide on your position on the site and especially carefully work out the necessary techniques.
So the post must deftly pick up the ball under the basket and throw it right into the basket. Back row players are highly regarded for their ability to pass and make accurate shots from medium to long distances. And for an attacking basketball player, it is extremely important to be able to make lightning-fast breakthroughs to the ring. All these techniques and skills are practiced in training.
What are the basic skills?
Holding the throw. Performed with two hands. Widely spaced fingers hold the ball from both sides. One of the basic skills for any player.
Catching the ball. Another basic skill that no basketball player can do without. But are you sure you know how to do it right?!
The easiest way to catch the ball is at chin level. To do this, you need to take a small step forward and stretch your arms towards the ball with widely spread fingers - a “funnel”. In this case, the thumbs should be directed towards each other and brought together up to 3-5 centimeters. This will save you from slipping and hitting the ball in the face if you catch it at high speed. At the moment the ball touches the fingers, you need to make a shock-absorbing movement and transfer it to the chest. When catching the ball above the head, the actions are similar, but you need to extinguish the speed of its flight from the top-front, and then transfer it to the chest in an arc.
One of the most difficult tricks is catching the ball flying behind. Such a pass is often used to quickly break through to the opponent's ring. For him, without slowing down, make a slight turn of the shoulder and head towards the ball, and then catch it with the far hand and move it to the chest with a raking movement.
Basic passing techniques:
There are several technically correct ways to pass the ball. One of the most basic is a transfer with two hands from the chest. In this position, the ball is most protected from the attacks of opponents, and besides, the transfer from the chest is the most accurate and reliable, regardless of whether it is carried out on the spot or while the player is moving.
Two-handed downshift is more commonly used after stops and turns. During the swing, the ball is taken to the thigh, after which it is sent to another player with a sharp movement of both hands. Such a transfer is effective for beating especially tall opponents.
One-handed passes are less accurate and more often used when speed is important. Their development should be given special attention in training in order to achieve maximum strength and accuracy.
The shoulder pass is used when the ball needs to be passed as far and as fast as possible, and the hook pass, performed in an arcing motion, is good for passing the opponent.
To get around a nimble and agile opponent, a rebound pass will also be good. It can be done with one or two hands. In this case, the push of the ball must be strong, and the rebound point must be closer to the receiving player.
What about dribbling?
Dribbling is the most basic thing in basketball. What makes this sport different from the rest. Simply put, dribbling is dribbling. It allows the player in possession of the ball, without violating strict basketball rules, to enter a position convenient for attacking, approach the ring and score the ball. The dribbling is carried out by elastic pushes of the ball with the fingers. It is dribbling that should be given special attention in training beginners.
Well-developed dribbling technique will teach you not only how to move on the court, but also skillfully take the ball away from your opponents, which will bring you closer to the coveted ring.
But we already wrote about how to properly throw the ball into the ring in our other article;)
