Question
Michael,I have something weird going on with my jumpshot somedays I'm like kobe bryant but sometimes nothing can drop and I think its because of my shooting form.I've asked everyone I can but I get different anwsers from everyone.so my question is what is the correct shooting form and follow through?P.S. Do you really have to have a ninety degree arm angle?

Answer
Hi Brandon,

Don't get to mental about your shot especially if you are shooting like Kobe most of the time. We all go through cold streaks as players so don't worry about it to much. Just continue to practice and work on your game and the rest will take care of itself. Copy and paste the link below in your address bar as it is from a great website that teaches the fundamentals of basketball. Good luck with your game and keep working hard. Yes and your arm should be at a 90 degree angle when shooting.
