How to shoot threes in basketball

USA Basketball - 3 Ways to Make More 3-Point Shots

Lots of players would like to be able to increase their shooting range and become a good 3-point shooter. We all know of examples of players, like Robert Horry, who are recruited to join teams mostly because of their ability to make 3-point shots. "Big Shot Rob" has seven--that's right, seven -- NBA championship rings. Shooters with deep range have helped teams on every level win championships.

Here are three incredibly simple drills and concepts that can help any player extend their shooting range and add to their scoring arsenal.

Warm-Up Speed

Jog (but never walk) through each of these shots. This will help you work up a sweat.

Start around five feet from the basket, and shoot until you make a shot all-net before moving back one step. Repeat the process until you get all the way back to the 3-point line. Continue shooting until you make an all-net 3-pointer.

Initially, do this from the baseline and work your way back to the 3-point line in the corner. Then do the other (right or left baseline) and finally go down the middle and finish with a 3-pointer from the top of the key. Finally, do your normal stretching routine.

Practice Speed

This next part of your practice shooting is best done with a rebounder and a passer. However, if shooting on your own, simply pass to yourself, shoot, rebound and speed dribble back to the spot.

You are now repeating the process of working your way back, only this time going as fast as you think you can, then speeding up your perception of what you think is going fast, and go even faster! Obviously this is great conditioning.

There are several kinds of footwork currently being used by good shooters. These include: the classic inside foot 1-2 step, the 2-foot jump stop, the plant rear foot and step-in, and hop into the shot (1-2 step or 2-foot jump stop). Ask your coach before deciding what do to.

Make one all-net shot of each of the following types of shots and work your way back from three distances: start at 10 feet out, then move to 15 feet and finally to 3-point range. Do both a catch-and-shoot and a shot off the dribble, moving left-right-center. That's six made all-net baskets from each spot.

As before, you must make an all-net shot before progressing to the next type of shot and distance.

Competitive Speed

This is the most important part of becoming a proficient shooter in actual games. Do this workout with defenders. Learning this way will give you transference from practice to actual games. You'll play this way and it will be easy to make shots in games and at crunch time.

Have defenders close out on you (sometimes from closer than they will be in the game) to try and steal the ball and block the shot. Want to become a fearless shooter? Have the defender foul you on purpose. But this should be just a slap on the wrist or controlled nudge, so you don't get hurt. Make (again not just take) three shots like this during every practice and you will become a more focused "in the zone" shooter. You probably will also get to the free throw line in games and have a chance to make a 4-point play!

Math + Honesty = Real Results

Have you noticed that doing any one of the stages will cause you to make -- not just take (this includes shots that go in without being all-net) -- over 100 shots!

You shouldn't care about missing. You don't have to make every shot, just shoot until you make the amount of shots needed to progress to the next stage. Do only as many stages as you are comfortable with. The warm-up stage alone will make anyone a better shooter and is essentially what many great shooters in the NBA do a couple hours before every game.

By the way, just because you take a lot of 3-point shots and you think that you are a 3-point shooter, doesn't mean you are. If it takes more than 15 shots to make an all-net 3-pointer and you have to change your shot to get the basketball to reach the basket, then the 3-point shot is out of your range -- for now.

Your current and realistic range is where you can make two all-net shots in 10 attempts or less. Just be patient with yourself and work on these drills and stay within your range and you will soon gradually extend that range.

Before attempting the 3-point shot in games, first make (just get it in -- you don't have to shoot all-net) six out of 10 in practice on three separate practice days. These shots should be from where you would shoot within the flow of your offense. That's when the statistic of probability is on your side, and you will have a real mathematical chance to shoot at least 35-40 percent from 3-point range when you play.

Anyone Can Do This

I have personally used these drills as a head coach at both the high school level and an assistant coach at the NCAA Division I level. I was fortunate to learn quite a bit about 3-point shooting while serving as assistant coach with Craig Hodges. As a player, Craig was on the Chicago Bulls' first championship team with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, both now in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Craig also won the NBA All-Star Weekend 3-point contest three years in a row.

Increasing range and becoming proficient at 3-point shooting will not only help you have more success now, it will also increase your chances to move to the next level. Look at what Pitino, Horry and Hodges have accomplished.

Now it's your turn.

How to Develop Long Distance Basketball Shooting Range

By Jeff Haefner

Would you like to make MORE shots from farther back? Would you like to become a great 3-point shooter?

We have some very effective shooting tips for you...

When extending your range, you need to know about some surefire RIGHT and WRONG ways to get it done.

You need to be very careful because all too often players will try to extend their range and acquire some subtle, yet dead-serious shooting flaws!!

Like this article? Download it as a free PDF! (Download Now!)

The trick is to extend your range while maintaining the EXACT SAME FORM.
There are only TWO ways to increase your range:

1. INCREASE YOUR PHYSICAL STRENGTH AND POWER.
2. ADJUST YOUR SHOT MECHANICS FOR ADDITIONAL POWER.

With that said, we'll teach you exactly how to increase your range both ways. It's up to you to decide which method you choose.

Many times, it's best for players to make very small improvements in both areas.

How to increase your physical strength and power for increased range.

The most obvious answer is to start a weight training program. Increasing the strength of your entire body will help. You'll want stronger and more explosive legs, core, wrist, forearms, and triceps.

In addition, by simply practicing more, you will increase the strength of your wrists and forearms. Taking 500 shots a day will increase your strength.

Lastly, you can try using a heavy ball (twice the weight of a regulation ball) and then going back to the regulation size one. Players usually find it easy to shoot from farther out because of the contrast. Wait until at least junior high before working with an oversized or weighted ball.

If you use a weighted ball, be sure to practice away from the basket. Do form shooting with one hand. Put your guide hand in the normal position, but an inch off the ball so you're not touching it. Focus on shooting the ball high and far, but do not sacrifice good form in order to do so.

How to adjust your mechanics for additional power.

This can be tricky because changing your mechanics can throw off your shot. Big changes to your mechanics will require you to retrain your muscle memory and you'll need thousands of repetitions to retrain your muscle memory.

In most situations, it's best to make very minor adjustments to your shot delivery.

The safest way to increase shooting range

If you want to take the safest route, here's a surefire way to extend your range without sacrificing your accuracy.

Let's say you are proficient at mid-range but you want to become a great 3-point shooter...

The obvious answer is to practice. The question becomes what to practice. Shooting revolves around rhythm and form, so that is where the answer lies.

It might sound strange, but to become a better 3-point shooter, you have to practice a lot, close to the basket. Take 100's and 1000's of shots 12' from the basket. The purpose for this is to really ingrain your shooting form from an area that you can shoot comfortably and have some success. It doesn't make a difference what drills you do or how you practice it, as long as the primary thrust of the work is your form.

Once you have your form ingrained, gradually move back. If you get to a point where you feel the rhythm change or your form start to change, that is the limit of your range. Stay at that spot until your shot feels like it did at 12 feet. Once it feels comfortable again, shoot several hundred shots until it becomes automatic again.

Once it feels automatic again, start to move back until you reach the limit of your range and shoot continually from that spot. Once you feel comfortable from behind the 3-point line, you can start shooting drills that will make you more proficient.

Players struggle from behind the arc because they have to change their shot to get the ball to the basket. This not only makes the shooter inconsistent from the 3-point line, but it affects his shot from everywhere else. Remember, to be a good shooter, you have to take the same shot every time, no matter where you shoot the ball.

Two months before the start of the new NBA season. The best time to argue about who will ignite the 2018/19 championship.

10. Karl-Anthony Towns

Center, 22, Minnesota Timberwolves

Minnesota is the most unexpected team in the 2018 playoffs. And in general, in the NBA playoffs, where the Wolves have not appeared for 14 years, since Kevin Garnett. A big factor in the Timberwolves' rise was the signing of Chicago star Jimmy Butler last summer, but without Towns it wouldn't have been possible. At 22, he is already an established star and proves to Timofey Mozgov that the role of center in the NBA has not died. At the end of last season, Towns entered the league's top 5 in rebounding, and on March 28, he scored 56 points in a match against Atlanta. Nobody scored more in one match for Minnesota - not even Garnett.

9. Russell Westbrook

The most controversial position in this ranking. Some of you will wonder why the MVP of the 2016/17 season is so low, others will be outraged that in his place could be the conditional DeMarcus Cousins, who recently strengthened Golden State, or Joel Embiid from Philadelphia.

Westbrook is Mr. Controversy. Twice in a row he made a seasonal triple-double (at least 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists per game in the regular season), but both times in the playoffs, the Thunder were eliminated in the first round. You can blame Kevin Durant's departure to Golden State in the summer of 2016 for this as much as you want, only after that Russ became even more selfish. No one throws him more often in the league (21.1 tries per game on average), but no one misses that much (11.6). Westbrook is both a super sniper and an egoist. Both the main hope and the main problem of Oklahoma at the same time.

Well, at least he dresses brightly. At the end of last season, he even won the "Best Style in the League" award. Although this is also debatable.

7. Kyrie Irving

The most crystalline of NBA superstars. In none of his seven seasons did Irving play all 82 matches. The Clevelands with and without him were two different teams. In the 2015 final, the team of David Blatt and Timofey Mozgov lost Kyrie already in the first match, nevertheless continued to cling to the Golden State, but still did not leave on LeBron alone. In the 2016 final, it’s a completely different matter: Irving first helped the King to snatch the fifth match (with a critical score of 1-3 in the series), and then scored a decisive three-pointer in the seventh.

Watch on YouTube

There are many theories as to why Kyrie asked the Cavaliers to trade him a year ago. Most likely, he is tired of being number two in a team where the main star is also trying to be the head coach. At the same time, LeBron himself, they say, was against the departure of Irving. Kyrie ended up in Boston, and the league waited all season for them to meet in the semi-finals. But Irving didn’t play until the main games of the season again, his Celtics lost to Cleveland, and after that LeBron and his team got 0-4 from Golden State.

6. Giannis Antetokounmpo

Forward, 23, Milwaukee Bucks

The Greek Freak is what the NBA calls him. He is incredibly gifted athletically, but at the same time, even at 2.11, he knows how to handle the ball and is not inferior to shorter defenders in speed. And how it flies! It is impossible to believe it, so watch with repetitions.

Watch on YouTube

Already this season, many were waiting for Antetokounmpo to be included in the season MVP nomination. But the competition there is too high, and Giannis has his whole career ahead of him. Will definitely wait. Perhaps next season is his. If at 23 he's being compared to LeBron, what will happen when Giannis peaks?

5. Anthony Davis

Forward, 25, New Orleans Pelicans

Another basketball player who knows everything on the court. And he is also still in line for the title of the most valuable player of the season - so far, Davis became the MVP only in the All-Star Game. For a big guy with a height of 208 and a weight of 115, he has excellent shots (sometimes he even scores three-pointers), a free throw, and the ability to handle the ball. Look at those dunks, passes and dribbles.

But what is the main feature of Davis? Someone will take this question literally and answer: "His unibrow." In fact, it's about his defense: Davis has already led the league in blocks three times (last season he covered opponents' shots 2.6 times on average per game!). Or maybe it's somehow connected and the opponents themselves just throw not into the basket, but into Anthony's hands at the sight of his unibrow.

4. James Harden

Guard, 28, Houston Rockets

But if you have a phobia about facial hair, then you definitely shouldn't date the Houston defender. James Harden finally won the MVP title this season, which he had been close to for several years in a row. But all the time someone interfered: then Westbrook would make the first triple-double in 45 years on average per season, then Stephen Curry would score a cosmic 402 three-pointers for the regular season, then LeBron James ... Yes, just LeBron James. This time, Harden jumped above his own beard and for the first time in his career scored over 30 points per game (30.4) in a season! Yes, and statistics are in hell. Look! How he does it?

Watch on YouTube

In addition, another superstar has joined the Rockets in Chris Paul, and this pair of defensemen deserves to be considered the best in the NBA. Even cooler than Steph Curry and Klay Thompson from Golden State.

As a result, Houston even won the regular season, which never happened to him at all. But still, as usual, the Warriors reached the NBA Finals from the Western Conference. Therefore, Harden - although, of course, a very tough player - remains outside the top three.

3. Stephen Curry

It's pretty simple. Steph is a three-time NBA champion and simply the best shooter in history. Not the one who scored the most points (although this is possible over time), but simply the best sniper. Who doesn’t care where to score from – even from the center line, even from the tunnel under the stands.

2. Kevin Durant

Forward, 29, Golden State Warriors

Seven years ago, he and Harden played together in the NBA Finals against LeBron. Then Miami destroyed Oklahoma, and the King became the champion for the first time. But it was then that Kevin and James had championship ambitions.

By the way, all three have something in common in their biography: an unpleasant departure from their native team in search of a champion title. All three were criticized. Someone's T-shirts were even burned. Durant was the last to go through all this - two years ago. And now he is a two-time NBA champion and two Finals MVP. Such people are not judged.

Curry is said to have won the finals MVP title this year. Just to be fair, based on the sum of three playoff victories, Steph certainly won at least one MVP. But it was Durant who covered his partner's back when his main weapon stopped working. Curry without three-pointers is as if Igor Akinfeev stopped hitting penalty shoot-outs.

In the third match of the final, Curry was denied a “gun”. At all. Of the first 9 shots, 0 came from behind the arc. And Golden State without Steph's three-pointers is like Stanislav Cherchesov without a mustache. LeBron and Cleveland could break the series here and get 1-2 instead of a dead 0-3. It was then that Durant scored the most important three-pointer of the third game and the entire final. From 10 meters.

Watch on YouTube

Imagine Aleksey Shved with his technique, dribbling and jumping ability, with the ability to create an attack from nothing and with a killer shot. Now imagine the same player, only 15 cm taller and about the same wider at the shoulders. It's impossible to stop him at all!

1. LeBron James

You can either admire him or hate him. Cheer for his next team or wish her defeat. The only thing you can't do is argue that LeBron is the best basketball player in the world.

Watch on YouTube

Donald Trump heard somewhere that many people hate LeBron for moving to the Lakers, and decided to hype on this. But he missed the moment - and tweeted just when James opened a super-cool school for poor children with his own money and his public rating flew into space. If LeBron ran for president of the United States right now, then Trump would have to move from the White House back to the hotel.

LeBron opened a $8 million school. Does anyone else hate him?

"Defending against LeBron is the hardest job in basketball," says Golden State head coach Steve Kerr. The last eight NBA Finals say the same. The MVP of the golden series is either LeBron himself, or the one who defends himself against him. In 2014 - Kawhi Leonard, in 2015 - Andre Iguodala, in 2018 - Durant (and that's why not Stef).

James was said to have no average shot, but last season proved otherwise. The king became even stronger. At 33, he continues to add. So love it or curse it - but enjoy the moment. We live at the same time as LeBron and we can watch his games.

what is it, when is it appointed, execution technique

Free throw in basketball is a free throw. At matches, he is appointed by referees for violating the rules. Regarding this throw, there are a number of rules, they need to be known not only to the players, but also to the fans. It would be useful to learn about the features of the markings in the free throw zone, when and under what circumstances it is appointed. In this article, we will look at the rules, as well as detailed free throw technique with practical recommendations. You will also learn interesting facts about this action: players of what positions and with what height are especially successful in making free throws.

In basketball, free throws are a great opportunity to improve your playing position. They are performed from a comfortable position and without resistance from the opposing team. This way you can get up to three points. A penalty kick is given as a punishment for breaking the rules. Most often, the referee makes such a decision when a player hits the ring, and the opponent violates the rules regarding him. In such a case, the hit will be counted even if the ball went into the basket after the foul, in addition, another throw will be awarded as a penalty. If the ball does not hit, then there will be two throws.

There is one exception to this principle: when a player is fouled on a three-point arc, he may receive another shot or three. If he scored - one, if he did not score - three. The explanation is that a hit from this position is worth three points. Such a fine may also be imposed in case of other identified violations. In the event of a technical foul, any of the players on the team will be able to convert it. For each ball scored in this way, one point is awarded.

About markings

The free throw itself, the rules for its award and execution, as well as the marking features were invented by James Naismith. All the current rules of the game were created by him. Initially, the penalty line was located at a distance of about six meters from the point on the parquet, which projects the middle of the ring. However, later the distance was shortened, now it is 4.6 meters.

This line is parallel to the front, if measured along the edges closest to each other, then the distance between them will be 5.8 meters. Midpoints can be connected with an imaginary line. The length of the penalty area reaches 3.6 meters, it limits the penalty area. The edges of this zone are marked with penalty lines and two more that connect them. The outer sides of the zone are three meters away from the center of the front, they end with the ends of the penalty lines.

It turns out that the entire zone is a trapezoid, but it is often drawn as a rectangle. It is also often made different in color, but according to the rules, its color corresponds to the circle in the very center. The free kick is made from an area that has the shape of a semicircle with a line in the middle, where the kicker is located. The boundaries of this semicircle continue further, but not as a solid line, but as a dotted line.

The rules of street basketball are slightly different from those in the hall. If you are interested in street basketball, then refer to the article “How does street basketball differ from ordinary basketball?”.

Rules

Not only situations in which a penalty kick is awarded are regulated, but the specifics of its execution.

When performing, the basketball player is required to:

• stand on the line designated for this in the center of the semicircle;
Throw
• in any convenient way. You can throw from above or when rebounding from the shield, it does not matter;
• you need to throw in 5 seconds after the moment when you received the ball;
• not touching the penalty line and all the space beyond it while the ball flies to the ring, until it becomes clear whether it will hit it or not;
• imitating a throw is also prohibited.

There are provisions for other players:

• five players, three defenders and two attackers, may be on the strip along the delineated zone;
• two of them, the defender and the attacker, are located on one side, the remaining three on the other. In this trio, the striker occupies a position in the middle;
• on each side the first position is occupied by the representatives of the opponents of the one who will throw.

They are strictly forbidden:

• to hold any position other than that indicated above;
• move out of position until the thrower releases the ball from his hands;
• obstruct, influence the ball in any way until it enters the basket or until it is obvious that it will definitely not enter it;
• touch the backboard and basket when the ball contacts them;
• try to knock him out of the ring from below;
• take any action after a free throw if there is one or two more to follow.

The free throw episode can end in three scenarios:

• the ball hits the basket;
• misses and touches the parquet;
• flies out of bounds.

Refer to the Basketball Scoring Rules article to see how many points are awarded for other activities.

Curious Facts

Rick Barry is the most successful player in NBA history. He is the best in their execution from the penalty line. His career lasted 14 years, during which time he repeatedly brought decisive points to his team in this way.

According to his personal statistics, he successfully realized 90% of his attempts.

There are also general statistics that matter to everyone who plays and cheers. Most often, players from the far line of short stature successfully score in this way. For centers, successful implementation is less likely. That is why they are often deliberately fouled in professional leagues, especially towards the end of the match. Often this strategy is used against well-known centers when other players know in advance that they are not very good at taking free throws. The most famous examples are Shaquille O'Neal, Wilt Chamberlain and Ben Wallace. The tactic when a team gets the ball through a foul and a bad free kick is called Hack-a-Shaq. It should be noted that it is not the most reliable, since a basketball player can still score. In view of this, it is used only with high confidence that the opponent will not score, or in the last minutes, when the situation is risky.

Despite the general trend, there are still some center players who are excellent at making such shots. Lithuanians Zydruns Ilgauskas and Arvydas Sabonis are an example. Ilgauskas does it so masterfully that in case of a technical foul the right to make a free kick is always given to him. There are few such players in the NBA.

How to do?

As it became clear from the rules, the technique can be any, but most often they resort to several solutions: one hand from the shoulder, two from below or two from the chest. Most often in such a situation, you can see how a basketball player throws with one hand from the shoulder, and the second is used only for holding. This technique is used so often that it has become a classic. When performed in another, the audience is very surprised, as are the players themselves. However, this was not always the case, for the 50s the option with two hands from below was more common, this action in basketball is called “from under the skirt”. In those years, the level of players was completely different and only a few were able to beat like modern athletes.

Technique

With perfect execution, the whole body will participate in the throw. A good throw combines the swing of the arms and the bend of the legs, and a good basketball player makes it automatic and repeats every time. Before throwing, you need to completely relax, take a breath and look at the basket, imagining the desired trajectory. The stance is of great importance - the feet are at shoulder level and parallel to each other, the knees are slightly bent, the arms are directed towards the ring. The diameter of the basketball allows you to control it at all stages, and this should be used. First, the movement is performed with the whole arm, then it moves to the hand and to the fingertips, from which the ball comes off. In the final stage, the fingers twist it slightly.

The psychology of hitting

The technique of the free throw is not difficult, it can be easily mastered and does not take much time. This begs the question: why can't even the most famous and successful players always hit from the penalty line? After all, it's not difficult at all. There is a simple explanation - success depends not so much on technical aspects as on psychological ones. The internal state greatly affects the accuracy.

The most fatal mistake is to think about the consequences before committing. You can’t think about the fact that you are surrounded by spectators, you cannot disappoint them, as well as members of your team. If you put it out of your head, it will become easier. For this reason, it is much easier to make a good free kick in training, there is no burden of responsibility, only technique. But the player must show himself in competitions.

Therefore, you need to get rid of all unnecessary thoughts and concentrate only on the basket and the ball. Don't worry about letting your teammates down. Everyone who plays basketball understands that a free throw at a game is a lottery with a bit of luck. Also, your team members simply don't have time to judge you for a miss, as they are already preparing to take over on the rebound if it does not hit the basket. Therefore, just leave doubts and worries for those whose basket you are now hitting, and just do it. You can remember that in training you did it dozens and hundreds of times.

Exercises

The first is aimed at defeating emotions, helping to suppress emotions and just throw the ball at the right time in the right way. Set a challenging yet achievable goal. For example, successfully score from a free kick five times in a row. The first times will be easier, as you will understand that this is a part, one step towards a big goal. If you miss, then increase the target by one throw, complicating the task. Thus, you will be focused only on the set goal, it will be a pity for you to lose the already deserved progress and imaginary points in your head. You will have an awareness of increasing responsibility, but at the same time there will be no time for worries, since you will focus only on technology.

There is another exercise, it is aimed at working out technical moments. You are required to churn out free throws in a row and do it quickly enough. For implementation, you will need a friend who will serve the balls. There is a subtlety: the success of this exercise depends on the basketballs, more precisely on their weight. The execution will be useful only if there are identical balls in the hall. Doing it with different ones does not make sense, since it is aimed at automating the action. Having worked out the technical part, you will become more confident in your strengths and capabilities, and this will certainly affect your psychological self-awareness.
