Question
can give me the proper shooting style to shoot like kobe bryant or ray allen. can u give me videos an pictures to help me.also can u help me with my foot position when i'm shhoting a jumpshot

Answer
Hi P.J.

The site I sent you for dribbling also has a great section on the fundamentals of shooting. Learn the proper way to shoot from this site and make your style what everybody else wants to copy. Don't try to copy Kobe and Ray Allen as that is there style and that is what works for them. It might and probably won't work for you. You need to focus on the fundamentals and let your own style develop. This will make you a better shooter and player! Again, copy and paste the site below into your address bar. Thanks and good luck with your game!
