Question
Hey I am Jordan, I was just wondering if you could show me the way allen iverson shoots. And why does he wear a shooting sleeve? what is it use for?

Answer
Hi Jordan,

Allen Iverson is a great scorer but I am not to sure he is a great shooter. There is a difference. Also, the way Iverson shoots works for him and may not necessarily work for you. I think you should learn to shoot fundamentally first and then if you want to tweak your shot to look like AI then do so at that time. Here is a great site that has instruction on shooting and all fundamentals. Take a look and let me know what you think. Good luck!
