Reggie Miller, Larry Bird, Ray Allen, Steve Kerr, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, what do they all have in common? A jump shot that could turn the lights on any given night.
I'm not Kobe Bryant, but I can share seven easy steps that will make your jump shot much more effective and greatly improve the overall feel of your shot.

Right when you get the ball, your feet should be shoulder width apart from one another.
Regardless of which hand you shoot with that foot should be slightly closer to the basket, as the weak side foot.

2) Hands When you catch the ball, it should be in a ready-to-shoot position.
If you get the ball near the feet, do not shoot.
Whereas if you get a good, crisp pass right around the waist, let it rip.
Make sure the ball is not resting on your fingertips and palms flat on the.
It will throw off your back spin.
3) Position of the elbow, another important aspect, if not the most important part of the shot.
Your elbow needs to be neatly tucked in near your body, aligned with the rim.

If it shares the same plane, without having to move your finger, then you should be good.

7) Confidence! Always ensure that the impact will be nothing but net be.
Even when you think it'll be off, or it just doesn't feel right, tell yourself it'll fall.
Do you think that Jordan said " was, that the shot was brilliantly ", when many of his legendary shots hit? Of course not.
