Millions want to make the NBA yet not many people can make it... My tips (if you give a shit what I think): Practice every single day for HOURS Get your offense and defense at an extreme level If there are people in your school better then you know that you have to work much harder, and know when you aren't gonna get somewhere I'm not trying to tell you to give up but if your not at least the best in your team there's no way your going to the pros Get your basketball IQ higher, know what plays to make, what to do, who to pass to, when to shoot... KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING Don't overestimate or underestimate your game otherwise you'll regret it
thank you for this, im a grade 9 6'5 my shooting has been gettimg better as well as post game and dribbling, but new this year there are kids who play for lincoln prep i believe im the best of the grade 9 team but school
Had my first tournament today and in the first game we lost by 3 i scored 14 pts and a block second game i scored 10, we won. The next i got 3 blocks and 8 pts. In each game i got many rebounds. Is this good?
Gunner I aint the best on my tam but I play more than anyone else on my team... Also Ive only been playing basketball for a year and I have improved a lot.
I was a walk on at San Bernardino valley, I've never was a great highschool Player, it's my second year now and I got a couple D1 offers, I've always pushed my self towards The limits and now I feel better than ever!, Portland, Washington State, and Tennessee are the division one offers I have! I haven't committed to one but this is my last season and looking forward to choosing from one!
You just need to discover what you are good at, then you try to do that more and more, then coaches will see that quality in you, just try to get more exposure, if you make it to the NBA you need to accept your role and embrace it, make the most of your role and you will move up in that rotation. Good luck.
I'm going to tell you my whole story and you tell me if I have a chance to go to the NBA... 5th Grade I started playing basketball and I never made the basketball team in middle school by the way...I did go to one camp called In the Paint basketball, but all I was doing was lay ups and didn't learn any defensive or offensive drills. The only good thing I had in middle school was defense and a little bit of dribbling....Now, it's my freshman year in high school...Didn't make the team...So, now it was time for me to practice because I finally got that chance because the school I went to was close to a park district. After practicing for about a week...I had handles somehow but the problem in my freshman year is that I couldn't shoot, finish with a layup after I get pass people, and my handles were good freshman year but, my ball control was kind of off. Over the summer I was trying to work on my shot and the only time I could do that was at the streetball court near my house. Sophomore year, it felt like I was losing my handles and I made junior varsity but then got kicked off the team because of my grades, and we barely played any games. At this point my height sophomore year was 5'7, so I was kind of touching rim. Towards the end of my sophomore year, I had a little shot but it was inconsistent. My handles were still decent though. Junior year is where I'm at now...I'm 5'8 and I made varsity. I have a good shot now and I can probably play shooting guard...I would say point guard but, I need to get use to the fundamentals and drills coach has us do. Also throughout those years, I started watching more of what type of moves nba players do when they have the ball (My favorite nba players are John Wall, Jamal Crawford, and Kyrie Irving). Mainly watched Jamal Crawford because I like his style and the way how he dribbles...Although I'm not as long as him, I try to do that little hop he does when dribbles. Right now, I'm trying to really work on my basketball IQ, defense, offense, ball control, and shot.
Leo_Cerberus not trying to be messed up but I started playing in 7th grade now I'm on the 8th grade team and I'm dropping 11 points a game . Your not working hard enough but u could still make it
Praxidike i mean the school i went too i was very short and there were a lot of people there that could already dunk and i was amazed by that cuz the school i go to now has a history of trash ass records from the past years of when it made but this year we are doing good actually finally going positive
Today is 26/09/2020, i have been training relentlessly for the last 3 years with one goal, making it to the nba. I've sacrificed the end of my teenage years for this dream i gave everything to. I've also been climbing the ladder of my country's divisions. I'm gonna travel to the states next year and meet some coaches and do some tryouts. I am a good basketball player and i have a very organised plan, I promise myself i will make it. Don't mind this comment, it's just for posterity, as if i don't make it it will make me smile thinking about all the memories of this great journey, and if i make it it will be a nice comment to come back to and get motivation in my future career. Thanks shotmechanics for this video and thanks Donald Sloan, good luck with your career u deserve it and i really admire yall undrafted players, u keep me motivated. Have a nice day and follow your dreams, see you in a few years and i hope my life will change in the best way possible.
What's up man! Remember when you posted the Mathew Dellavedova defense video. I enjoyed it. But can you post a video of how to beat that kind of defense when you're on offense. If you can thanks! :D
TheRedArrowHD 1. Fundamentals. D-wade sits in the gym for hours working on the basics of the game. 2. Conditioning 3.Be able to do something better than everyone else. 4. Try to excel at all aspects of the game and not just one or two: dribbling, passing, shooting, free-throws, rebounding, defense and moving and finally hustle.
Ralph Randy De Jesus No.....have a love for the game.....be able to shoot with a hand in your face...be able to beat your man with the first step...be able to finish at the rim....if i thought like you...then i'd think in order to be in the NHL(National Hockey League) then I'd have to be white.
6'1" SF, 14 years old and I'm a sharp 3pt shooter, poster, finisher and great defender... Only problem is, I live in Panama, so I don't think a coach will notice me unless I play Highschool in the U.S.
This is why sometimes I don't like youtube training videos.... it's not like you can learn how to get into the nba by watching an 8 minute video, or improve your shooting by 30% by learning the right shooting technique... people(including myself) need to get off the internet and start shooting....
John Braddock This was a simple interview to give you guys some insight on what it can take to get to the league and how it's not all about high draft picks and rankings... Also you CAN improve 30% in 1 hour with proper mechanics if you have flaws in yours. I see it EVERY single day... After working with Donald Sloan for ONE HOUR we improved his shooting percentage between 5-10% and he's an NBA player who puts in 8 hours every single day. Imagine how much your average 13 year old would improve? It's not magic, it's physics... And it's the reason why Shot Mechanics is growing everyday :) That being said... YES get to the gym and shoot haha. Coach C.
I'm 14 and my defense is great and I really need to work on my offense, following plays and passing to the right guy but I am really good in the post when they move me to PF. I had a career high of 7 steals back then when I learned D Wade's style of stealing the ball :D
Ikr, sometimes in pickup games with my friends they ask me why I keep defending well even in games that aren't serious and I answer them, "it's just an instinct" :P
wow I'm very happy that many of us can relate to this because I'm a great defensive player but I'm not a good ball handler and I'm terrible with my non-dominant hand .... any dribbling tips??????
This has helped me I started playing basketball in second grade in rec basketball oh and by the way I'm in sixth now anyways in rec I was comfortable but then I went to a travel team I'm the youngest player and one of the shortest I'm good at defense and good at of fence pretty good reply if you think I'll ever make it to the NBA
I've been playing basketball since I was in year 4 (now I'm in year 8, so 4 years) and I'm decent... I'm not the worst, not the best, I'm alright. Right now I play in my school team and we've lost twice and won twice. I'm a small forward, around 158 cm tall and I'm 88 pounds, I can also play as a point guard. I have alright defence, my midrange is uhhhh... I guess it's 3-4/10! My 3 pointers are on point, idk but I just make them when I feel like it lol, don't ask how... so I give it a 7-8/10. Overall, my goal is to become a NBA player... Say a number in between 1-10 on if I could become a NBA player if I keep training and try my hardest... 1 as in *NO WAY* and 10 as in *YES WAY*! Alright, thanks guys for taking your time to read xD... BYE!
I really like the idea of the Shoot Natural glove but $30 is way too much for just a glove that probably costs way less to make. I'll still consider buying it but thats overpriced in my opinion
Can u try to get in contact with other nba players too. They give good tips. I would really love it if u interviewed kobe or even MJ if u get lucky eneough. Thankyou
I'm 14, 6'0 and I'm a really good paint protector and defender. I can finish over almost anybody and I have a really good deep 2, three pointer shot. I want to try out for my school's basketball team next year, sophomore year. Any tips?
ok please anyone give me tips, i really want to know what i can do to improve and how i can get there, first and foremost my biggest downfalls, first my weak hand dribbling, my basketball iq which is good but still can be improved, and i live in Australia :(, im 15, 6'1, an amazing shooter pretty much anywhere on the court, very good defensive player and an above average driver, every day i spend about 4 hours outside playing basketball except for saturday's and sunday's which i roughly am in a gym for about 7-9 hours, i really would do absolutely anything to make it to the NBA, please anyone just give me any tips what i can do to make it and thank you if you read this and reply, God bless and good luck to everyone trying to achieve this goal
ShotMechanics what is your take on weightlifting? Will it mess up my shot? should I lift light weights? What should I do in order to maintain a good shot and still get bigger and stronger so that I can perform better on the court?
@HeyHowsMyDriving Coach Collin's calling is to teach an important skill in shooting. So even though he didn't make to the NBA I bet you still try to implement his tips into your own jumpshot.
Oi do you have to enter the draft to go to get into the NBA and do you have to go to college. Like what if I get to be over the age requirement and everyone knows who I am could I just pick a team by my own accord
Im 13 years old Im a good shooter but the problem I have is that I have no dribble and if im not wide I will sometimes get turnovers cause I dont have dribble
Nice product, but with the shooting hand, the placement of the thumb is critical, since spreading it is what brings the palm off the ball and is part of the process of using the finger pads, feel and setting the shooting arm vertical in the shot pocket. We are, however, born with different flexibility and size of hands. So the amount of spread necessary to achieve the proper palm spacing will vary by person. Sometimes a lot. And that proper spacing helps eliminate "pushing" the ball rather than "shooting" the ball. I don't know if the shooting glove allows for that variance in hand size and flexibility. I notice the demonstrator's shooting arm is not vertical at the set point and that IS critical, in my opinion, for consistency. Otherwise timing of the arm rotation during release is introduced and must be the same with each shot, which can fail you under pressure. The concerns about the guide hand, however, influencing the shot in the video are right on. You can have perfect form with the shooting hand and arm and destroy the direction and feel for the shot with the guide hand.
Im and indian and im 12 i got some good ball skills and talent. I play for my highschool team as well. Do i have a good chance at the nba? I train for 6-8 hrs a day
I am 13 years old in 8th grade, I am a great shooter from anywhere on the court and I have a pretty good handle, I'm like 5'7. I love to train and play the game, can I make it to the NBA?
I'm 14 years old in the 8th grade and is 5,4. I'm a good defender, playmaker and finisher at the rim and a decent 3pt shooter. I also have a really great work ethic and I try my best all the time. the thing is my height. Can I make the nba
I'm 13 and 5'4 not to make u feel bad but I want to be future NBA all star I just started playing so I'm not that good and I lack basic skills like I keep getting the ball stolen and stuff
I'm 17 years old, 6.4 . I have really long arms and big hands. I am also very athletic and love to play basketball. The only problem is I lack cardio and muscle. If I train these for 2 years can I make it?
honestly bro yes you can because I'm 15 and I play very good defense and I have muscle but lack cardio as well I have a former Ohio state buckets point guard his name is Trenton Jackson and he told me with playing great defense and having cardio and having a little more muscle I can make it so bro just train even at arras you excel at 2 years is more than enough to be college ready then training in college will get you NBA ready ... Good luck💯!!
EVERYONE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM, WORK ON YOUR BALL HANDLING, COACHES WILL CHOOSE BALL HANDLERS OVER SHOOTERS, THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE BALL AND AT LEAST HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
This my freinds acct but anyways I'm 6,4 15 years old I can shoot real good and good dribbling I'm good at faders in the post and driving. My defense is solid unless you got me on a short really good ball handler. Can I make the Nba ?
+Squiddy Catt don't do an hour train all day if you train an hour all the hours you take off will let others take those hours and use it so they can be better than you also don't take days off if you do someone can take your spot so keep believing and train hard eat right have good grades and you'll make trust me you know what when you see this train right now or someone's gonna take your spot
i'm a high school player and my high school doesnt have a team i'm a year away from college where im hoping to go to community college for 2 years play division 3 basketball then transfer to a division 2 or possibly d1 and my life long dream is to make the nba is there any advice you can give me on how i can make the nba if i dont get to a division 1 school? im really hoping you read this. i realize you get thousands and thousands of comments but it would mean a lot to me if you can help me out. thanks in advanced coach :)
Thunder kid I'm in the same shoes as you my advice based on how good it's starting to look for me is go to junior college and out work everyone their you will get the scholarship if you show out and be a team player. Do not shoot every shot you feel you can take if you see a better shot to a teammate pass the ball coaches really look for that in NBA players. Don't try to show off and be a team player it will go a long way.
It's the same with college if you don't get a scholarship you can still tryout for the team all it takes is dedicated
Smell coaches won't even let you try out if you're under 6 feet
Meek Mill?
lmao what?
Have to admit came in thinking who is he although i have seen but this man speaks the TRUTH earned my respect i should not be so quick to judge.
God plz help me reach my dream. The dream of getting into the NBA. Amen 🙏
Anyone reading this comment, remember the name Shamir Khan. After 5 or 6 years I should be in
aight
Shamir Khan ok
Shamir Khan amen
Amen 🙏
Millions want to make the NBA yet not many people can make it... My tips (if you give a shit what I think):
Practice every single day for HOURS
Get your offense and defense at an extreme level
If there are people in your school better then you know that you have to work much harder, and know when you aren't gonna get somewhere
I'm not trying to tell you to give up but if your not at least the best in your team there's no way your going to the pros
Get your basketball IQ higher, know what plays to make, what to do, who to pass to, when to shoot... KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
Don't overestimate or underestimate your game otherwise you'll regret it
thank you for this, im a grade 9 6'5 my shooting has been gettimg better as well as post game and dribbling, but new this year there are kids who play for lincoln prep i believe im the best of the grade 9 team but school
Gunner thank you, because I am a junior now and Im really trying to find opportunities to practice.
Had my first tournament today and in the first game we lost by 3 i scored 14 pts and a block second game i scored 10, we won. The next i got 3 blocks and 8 pts. In each game i got many rebounds. Is this good?

Always enjoy watching these pieces that go into depth with some of the people you work with. Lots of good information.
Donald was one of many we semt to the nba. Off our AAU team DALLAS MUSTANGS he was on the same high school squad. As the spurs lamarcus alridge
You just need to discover what you are good at, then you try to do that more and more, then coaches will see that quality in you, just try to get more exposure, if you make it to the NBA you need to accept your role and embrace it, make the most of your role and you will move up in that rotation.

I would say try to practice shooting everyday at the park or indoor basketball
My defense is great and I can drive ok but I can't shoot threes and I'm not really the best at midrange do I have a chance

Same with me
Belief and confidence is the first step
Think like Isaiah Thomas or Mugsy
I'm 13 and 5'4 not to make u feel bad but I want to be future NBA all star I just started playing so I'm not that good and I lack basic skills like I keep getting the ball stolen and stuff
+Jacob Lunde You need to practice everyday if you want to catch up to your grade

I'm 17 years old, 6.4 . I have really long arms and big hands. I am also very athletic and love to play basketball. The only problem is I lack cardio and muscle. If I train these for 2 years can I make it?
honestly bro yes you can because I'm 15 and I play very good defense and I have muscle but lack cardio as well I have a former Ohio state buckets point guard his name is Trenton Jackson and he told me with playing great defense and having cardio and having a little more muscle I can make it so bro just train even at arras you excel at 2 years is more than enough to be college ready then training in college will get you NBA ready ... Good luck💯!!
Jakeith Mosley thanks man! the only other problem is that i live in canada :p
Alex Lovegd bro what part??
Jakeith Mosley quebec
EVERYONE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM, WORK ON YOUR BALL HANDLING, COACHES WILL CHOOSE BALL HANDLERS OVER SHOOTERS, THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE BALL AND AT LEAST HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

thunderkid23 u mii aswell go to juco thts the best way to get into d1 or d2
what's juco?
thunderkid23 junior college which is the same as community college
Thunder kid I'm in the same shoes as you my advice based on how good it's starting to look for me is go to junior college and out work everyone their you will get the scholarship if you show out and be a team player. Do not shoot every shot you feel you can take if you see a better shot to a teammate pass the ball coaches really look for that in NBA players. Don't try to show off and be a team player it will go a long way.
thanks for the advice and dont mind my name i made it when i was 7 im 17 now lol Zach Smith
I pray that every day I always Don't make am high school I'm still sucks ☹️
