Basketball Layups
Basketball is a fun sport. Layups are a very popular way of scoring or making a basket in basketball. I am learning about layups becuse there are many different ways to do a layup. Layups can be difficult to do if you have never done them before, but just practice practice practice!. Some people will be able to do a layup there first time, and others may need some practice. To do a layup you should always try doing it with both hands. And to most people it will be easier to do a layup with your dominant hand. But it would really help to perfect your layup with both your right hand and your left hand.
Is it easier to do a right handed layup or a left handed layup?. Well personally i think that it would be easier to do a layup with your dominate hand. For example. I am really good at doing a right handed layup but i am not so good at doing a left handed layup. But if you want to be good at doing both a left and a right handed layup then all you need is to practice more on your non dominant hand and less on your dominate hand.

The two main types of layups are right handed layups, (which are the most popular type of layup, or they are what most basketball players do) and there are left handed layups.
You can do these layups in different ways. You can do them just by running up and jumping and make it or you can try doing it backwards, But that is very hard to do but some basketball players can do it. But if you are just starting out then you should probably just start out doing a normal right or left handed layup. It will be easier to do a layup with your dominant hand but if you play basketball on a team then it would help a lot if you could do a layup with both your right and left hands. So if you're good with one hand and not the other then practice. So next time go to basketball practice then remember when your doing a layup, remember to try doing one with each
hand. If you want to do a layup then follow these steps. For a right handed layup, you want to start out sprinting towards the basket. While you are doing that you want to dribble the ball. You can keep dribbling the ball with just your right hand, or you could dribble the ball by dribbling it with one hand and then the other, but once you get right up to the basket you want to have the ball in your right hand becuse it is a right handed layup. Once you get up to the basket you want to jump up and kinda push the ball of your hand and let it roll of your finger tips and go right into the basket. To do a left handed layup you want to do pretty much the same thing but you just want to dribble with your left hand instead of your right hand and you want the ball to roll of your left hand or else it's not a left handed layup. Also while running and dribbling the ball if you are playing a game the other team will be trying to steal the ball from you so watch out for them and also watch out for any other players on your team.
So, in case you ever find yourself playing basketball, remember to use the correct form, have the proper stance, jump, and follow through. Now that you know all of the steps to shooting a basket all you have to do is put them together. Set your hands, feet, jump, and follow through. It might feel different at first, but the more you practice the more natural it will feel and the better you will
Lead with your elbow to bring your right hand forward. Contact the ball just above and in front of your head. Solid contact is important; keep your hand stiff and open wide, almost like you are high-fiving the ball, to have a solid hit. IMG_0029.JPG
Research suggests a person’s height does not affect their ability to make a successful jump shot. The ability to make a successful jump shot be determined by the arc in which enters the rim of the basket. When a basketball enters the rim on a 45° angle with a backspin it increases the percentage of a successful jump shot. The height of a basketball player is key when the player is taller, they are able to make more successful defensive blocks and able to get more rebounds of the basketball.
In new studies that Larry Silverberg conducted was that “From more than 12 feet away, from the corner to the wing you have a 0-80% chance of making the bank shot. From wing to the other side of the wing you have a 60% chance.” So precisely you want to a bank shot when you are in between the corner and the wing. That’s where you have the highest chance of making the shot. Also when you get closer to the hoop, your chances also increases.
The way people shoot a free throw has been done pretty much the same way for years. People walk up to the line and right handers put their right foot in the middle of the line, while lined up with the hoop. Where left handed shooters put their left foot on the line, while being lined up to the middle of the hoop. The shooter then focuses on the rim and backboard, then takes a deep breath and slowly goes through the shooting process while keeping complete focus, and good form
While the most important parts of being a baller can be debated for years and years. I believe all would agree that you have to be able to put the ball in the hoop. That is why I have spent most of my life learning how to shoot a basketball properly. The process is long and requires using muscles all over your body, but with determination and hard work you will become the best shooter you can be.

When you first learn how to dribble the ball you are required to know the rules of dribbling the ball. In basketball you can only use one hand to dribble.

Rules in a basketball game are extremely important. You and your team try to score on the opposing team's basket. There are 5 players on the court for each team. The baskets are elevated ten feet above the court. Two sidelines and baselines are parallel to each other, being the boundaries or out of bounds. If you go out of these boundaries. On top of that, another way you could lose the ball is to travel or walk with the ball, double dribble; dribble with two hands.
Basketball a sport that is played throughout the whole world. When playing this sport all you need is a ball and basket.

Down two with six seconds to go fatigue had taken it tolls on the players. With little energy left; over time was not an option. I knew I had to go for the win. I walk on the floor confident of my ability that was until the whistle blew quickly turning my confident to butterflies. As I fought to get open I quickly saw the ball coming my way. As I rose for a jump shot time itself began to stay still. An in flesh everything became silent. As I watch the ball leave my hand I envisioned greatness; sure the ball was on its way in I started to celebrate that was until I hear the announcer say my teammate tip in miss shot to win us the game. Mix with emotion I celebrate with my teammate. “Ok guys, we have 24 hours until tip off. Get some rest because this is going to be the biggest game of your life.
