well it all starts off with not being scared to take contact and being confident.. that's the key to it, once you get that down the getting better part will just come to you naturally because a lot of scoring using athletic ability also relies a lot…

you can do core exercises and sit ups. im 5 9 and 166 lbs and i can finish at the rim but i can almost dunk so i usually just jump over my opponents or cross them and beat them to the basket. but you can get a weight vest and that will get you quick…

its all about sealing the defender/'s off with your body. and knowing when and when not to do a reverse or floater or taking it straight at the cup

Basically what Will said. And its something that will come to you naturally in games and it will happen by default. Most of the time you do not need to reverse it but when you are going to for me i always do my reverse layups on a fast break.

Practice man, practice. First thing you have to do is pretty much just be able to get a great feel around the basket, so whenever there's a dead time in say a pick up game, team practice, or whenever, just practice putting in those 'easy' shots, pr…

5'10 and 145 is not strong enough. You need to be about 5'10 and 155-160 with a lot more strength and quickness. You also need to build confidence, confidence is key to anything in all sports. If your confident in your abilities all you can do is im…

It is not my place to say anything bad about anyone else's program... but from reading these posts it looks like everyone who has done Air Alert has had injuries and pain?!
