00:25to you as soon as possible
00:27now for what you have been waiting for
00:29i'm about to show you how to get your
00:31shot better now for all you guys out
00:34there they got all the moves in the
00:38hit a shot okay your shot
00:45but they're going in tonight nick
00:49if you have that broken shot you want to
00:52come close to the phone or the computer
00:55and listen listen very clear we're going
00:57to teach you how to fix that broke
01:03now the first thing that we're going to
01:07feet are very important when it comes to
01:09shooting a good jumper all right one
01:13thing that you have to do is you have to
01:14make sure your feet are set up correctly
01:16there are a few ways that you can have
01:18your feet and i'm going to tell you the
01:20best way that i would prefer first thing
01:22first i would like to have my feet
01:23staggered so i would like to have my
01:25right foot in front of my left foot
01:27that's my shooting hand foot i like to
01:29have a little bit in front of my left
01:31foot because it aligns me better for the
01:33jump shot also your feet tilt a little
01:36bit but that is a natural thing that
01:37happens do not try to tilt yourself a
01:40certain way it's going to naturally
01:41happen you're naturally going to tilt
01:42yourself you're not going to have your
01:45aimed directly at the rim that's never
01:47really going to happen unless you're
01:48really conscious of trying to point your
01:50feet right at the rim so don't do that
01:52don't worry about till your feet it will
01:54happen naturally next thing we're going
01:55to talk about is elevation elevation is
01:57basically how high you jump off the
01:59ground when you are shooting a shot now
02:02i love guys that jump really high
02:04elevate on their shots but what we have
02:06to understand about jumping really high
02:08on your shot is it is a little bit
02:09harder to stay consistent and shoot
02:12consistently when you're rising so high
02:14up on your shot when i shoot i try not
02:16to ride super high from the ground
02:17because i want to shoot the same exact
02:19weight every single time so when i shoot
02:21i do jump but it's just not an extremely
02:23high jump so for you guys that are
02:25having troubles with your shot and you
02:27notice that you jump higher than
02:28everybody else when you're shooting um i
02:30would say probably tone it down how high
02:32you're jumping so that way you can stay
02:34consistent with your jump shot next
02:36we're going to talk about how we hold
02:38i like to hold the ball in the exact
02:41form that i'm about to shoot so i like
02:42to have my weak hand or my guide hand
02:45directly on the side of the ball i like
02:47to have my shooting hand behind the ball
02:49okay it's off to the right a little bit
02:51it's not directly straight behind it
02:53it's off to the right just a little bit
02:56then from there we talk about our set
02:57point our set point is basically where
03:00we put the ball right before we release
03:02it all right it's where we put the ball
03:04where we set it at before we get into
03:06our full motion of the shot now my set
03:08point is right above my eyebrows i like
03:10the ball to come a little bit in front
03:12of my vision um while i'm shooting some
03:14people say that's bad you shouldn't have
03:15the ball come in front of your vision
03:16but that's how i like to do it and it
03:19works for me once again everybody's shot
03:21will be unique everybody's you know
03:23different parts that i'm breaking down
03:25will be slightly different from the next
03:27person but what's important that you
03:28know what exactly works for you and you
03:31do it the same exact way every single
03:34time that's how you get your shot better
03:35so like i was saying my set point is
03:37right above the eyebrows right before i
03:39get it all the way up i set it right in
03:41my eyebrows and then i go up and release
03:43next thing we want to talk about is the
03:44release point now when you release the
03:46ball you want to release the ball at its
03:49highest point all right you don't want
03:50to hang in the air too long and it
03:52shoots on your weight coming down or you
03:53don't want to shoot it on your way
03:55coming up you want to shoot it once it
03:56gets to that highest point that's called
03:58perfect time like i know when you play
04:002k and you get that green light they're
04:02talking about when you release the ball
04:04you released it right on time okay so
04:07you don't want to wait too long on the
04:08way down and you don't want to wait
04:10release it too early you got to have
04:11that timing on point all right release
04:14it at the top of your jump shot another
04:16important thing that you want to do is
04:18try not to involve your your offhand
04:20thumb as much i know you guys say steph
04:23curry uses his um kyrie irving uses
04:25their thumb but the amount that they use
04:27their thumb is very minimal in affecting
04:30that shot i have a lot of kids that are
04:32just shooting and pushing the ball out
04:34with their thumb sometimes when they
04:35shoot their guide hand is completely
04:37facing the rim just because they're
04:39putting their offhand thumb
04:40involved in the shot so much so try your
04:42best not to involve that offhand thumb
04:45in the shot as much and last but not
04:47least is the follow through the follow
04:50through is extremely important all of
04:52the kids that are trying to always say
04:55all you talk about is follow through
04:56follow through follow through the reason
04:58why i tell kids to follow through so
05:00much there's there's a lot of different
05:01reasons first off when i'm training you
05:03if you hold that follow through up we
05:05can instantly see what you did wrong
05:08okay if your guy hand wasn't straight if
05:10your fingertips wasn't down all of those
05:13things like that so make sure you hold
05:15that follow through also when you hold
05:17that follow through you direct that ball
05:19right into the rim so what i want you to
05:21do with your follow through on your
05:23shooting hand your fingertips should be
05:26and they should be like you're trying to
05:27put your hand in the rim and then your
05:30off hand your guide hand it should be
05:33straight lined up on the side of that
05:34rim guiding the ball directly into the
05:39the guy hand is kind of like when you're
05:41bowling and you're and you have bumpers
05:43up it basically just guides the ball
05:45directly down in a straight line and
05:47that's exactly what you're doing for
05:49shooting when you have that guide hand
07:01coach howard here howard lee basketball
07:03i just taught you how to shoot the ball
07:07everybody shot is going to be a little
07:09different the only thing that i broke
07:11down for you was different components to
07:12the shot and then you adjust them the
07:14way that works best for you create your
07:16shot you're in the lab just like uh on
07:192k you know i mean you customize your
07:21own jump shot but the main important
07:23part about it all is that you shoot the
07:25ball the exact same way every single
07:28time and if you do that you will become
07:30more consistent all right don't just go
07:32in the gym and just keep just shooting
07:33the ball any kind of way make sure you
07:35think about those components that i
07:36taught you today and get better all
