By: Julien Hill, Karell Grosvenor

This slide is to show you how to shoot a basketball

1. Basketball
2. Sneakers

• You need to grab and put the ball in your hand, also make sure your body is aligned with the court.

• Now have the ball in your hands , put either one of your foot in front of the other by only about an inch.

• Put your dominate hand on top of the ball and your other hand on the side of the ball
• (The reason to have your dominate hand on top is to push and flick the ball/basically shooting, and your other hand on the side to control the ball and not to make it fall )

• You basically pick up the ball, at least to your head or a little higher
• While you or picking the ball up your hand that's on top,should roll back to the bottom or close to the bottom of the ball
• When your picking the ball, don't forget to bend your knees

• You can either jump in the air or stand still, it's what ever feels comfortable

• Aim at the court, (The hand on the side of the ball is to make sure it is steady

• Flick the ball when the ball gets to where (step 5) had explained to you and push to with the same hand
• (Now how hard you push off depends on how far you are away from the court)

• You just did the right way to shoot so, be happy
• But if you don't make the shot it's okay, you won't be shooting like Kobe Bryant in the beggining, you need to practice so keep at it.
