How where you taught to shoot?
How did your (former) coach teach you how to shoot? What kind of method did he want you to use?
Do you feel you were taught to shoot in a manner which resembles the pros?

I had a hard time understanding what you even meant.

How were you taught to shoot?*
I was taught by a old urban dude at my local park, he took me under his wing and all he asked for return was a quick handie after our session.

Yeah sorry about that, was too fast writing it.
I mean like what kind of method where you taught to use when shooting, 10 toes to the rim? etc
Also I'm sorry you have to jerk other guys off for basketball lessons.

Taught? I just went to the court and started hoisting up shots, week after week.

Re: How where you taught to shoot?
My pops and in the United States of America. On a basketball court, even.
I started playing ball when I was 3 so.. I didn't initially learn to shoot properly. I couldn't even get the ball to reach 10 feet rims until at least 5, I think. And even then, they were mostly push shots from the shoulder.
Around 7 or 8 is when I got really comfortable with 10 foot hoops. By that time, I had 2 years of club basketball under my belt and strong idea of how I felt comfortable shooting the ball. No one was changing it after that much repetition.
The only time I ever had to alter with my shot was when after I first started lifting in high school. Very minimal changes, though.
So unfortunately I shoot a little like Matt Bonner, except not even close to as accurate.

Very good NBA starter
Re: How where you taught to shoot?
i had lots of different coaches, each that emphasised a different aspect
shoulders square to the basket, bend your knees, make an 'L' shape with your arm, release straight up, and follow through.
one coach empasised aiming for the inside of the back of the rim, and that helped me a lot.

Re: How where you taught to shoot?
Coach Kobe taught me that balance is overrated. The only bad shot is the one you didn't take.

Seems pretty standard to me. I'm not sure how to describe it. I jump and release over my head. My shot is very inconsistent though and I'm not that good. I get hot sometimes though and can drop deep bombs from three.
