So I Just Picked Up Bsaketball For The First Time Two Years...

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

And I have completely lost my game

This happened to me before and I couldn't buy a shot when we were just shooting around but once the game started I suddenly got my stroke and handles back and didn't miss a shot

Wish I was like that. If I take a day off it seems to take me a week to get back to wear I was. I guess I never really had a "game" though. Just a recreational player.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

Well I'm more of a recreational player as well. Never played on a team or in a league or anything serious. Just pickup games. But I mean I couldn't shoot, lost my handles, everything lol.

I made 1 shot when we were shooting around and the shootaround lasted for like 20 minutes at least

But once the game started I only missed 1 shot. Ironically it was my signature shot, a turnaround jumper on the left block

I notice most casual players warm up shooting three balls and long range jumpers.

Start closer to the basket and progressively move out.

I took my first jumpshot after like a year the other day. Air ball..

It's odd to me how you guys are some of the most active posters on these forums and can't play ball/don't play ball regularly?

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

I use to play ball all of the time especially when I was in high school. But in my new area I don't play as much. Plus it's been to f*ckin hot outside to be hoopin these last few days

True lol.
I'm trying out for the basketball team this year so I play like EVERY day.

That's what it boils down to. Just practice everyday there's always something to be worked on. I wish I would've played more when I was younger. I had great talent I just needed to work on fundamentals and I could've played on a team. I just never tried out. I'm sure I could've made it though.

Last time I played organize basketball was almost 1 month ago. I am no longer nervous while playing with people that I barely know.
