My issues in college were twofold:
A. My entire life I was treated like a back to the backboard player, but that shit ended post high-school. Really detrimental to my development.
B. I had a really bad injury playing ball at a local rec league in the offseason. Missed my fresh college year due to the injury. Need full reconstructive surgery on my elbow after being low bridged while dunking on some scared church boy. Anyway I lost a fuck ton of range on the pronation of my shooting arm and when I keep my elbow in, my hand will point away from the rim at like a 45 degree angle. First year of college ball I got a shot at playing, and tried to relearn to shoot, but nah it didn't happen. Still can't shoot to this day. I wasn't ever good, but fuck man I look like I never played now. My elbow has to swing our real wide and I end up with side spin on the ball otherwise it doesn't go straight.
You should feel bad for picking on my injury. :P

If you guys think your father disparaging you like that publicly, even if it's only pretending to insult you, is okay, I don't want to know the kind of bullshit parenting you went through. Jesus. "Oh yeah the family makes cash out of me pretending to be abused". Great fucking healthy shit, while millions are coming from elsewhere too.

Word. Can't imagine clowning on my son on the internet and pretending to be real and this is the best case scenario.
Anyone have experience teaching a little kid how to shoot properly? My nephew is 8 and loves the game, he would ask to go outside and play basketball as young as 3-4 years old and has a nice little handle for his age now, he's better at dribbling & passing than his older brother and can dribble with his off hand since I'm always telling him to go left. But, he wants to get better at shooting and I'm not sure how to go about it since I think his form will change naturally as he gets older and stronger. However I watched some videos of Darius Garland and I think his form would work well for a little kid to grow into it....is it too early to emulate a pro's shot? There's some 8 foot rims near where he lives that he can shoot on and practice the form. I'm going to be picking him up from school a couple days a week and he wants to play basketball when he sees me.
We don't do any drills, mostly play knockout, 1 on 1 with me shading his right hand to force him left and I lower the rim so he can dunk. I watch some youtube clips but they don't really tell you much IMO, he's not specializing in basketball yet, I'm just laying the foundation if that's the sport he wants to focus on (He plays soccer, capoeria, baseball but likes basketball the most).

I don't have experience with any of that, but after reading around for a minute, I think the most important things to teach him are how to maintain balance before/during/after the shot (this can involve how far apart his feet are and where they are oriented in relation to each other and the rim, hip placement/rotation, and other things I'm not thinking of), catching the ball so that he can easily go into a shot or a dribble, identifying a single part of the goal/rim to always aim his shot at, and how important being consistent is. Those things should carry over even as his shooting form changes to accommodate his frame and strength as he grows.

Also, from things that I have read from both players and coaches, getting him to do this while playing 1v1 or in other game-like scenarios is vastly more productive than drills. Drills are probably a good warm-up and way of initially teaching the form but getting him to put this into effect while actually playing ball works best for turning it into muscle memory.
It's a bit early for that... no? His body composition will change as he grows older and especially when he's a teenager if he hits a growth spurt, etc. It's not just about strength, but it's also about hand size, wingspan, whether he can get the right lift off his legs, etc.
There's some principals you can instill in him, mainly around feet placement, but at 8 years old he'll just struggle to grip the ball into a natural shooting position because his hands will be too small.
He'll just have to Kevin Martin it for now.

Honestly the best thing you can do for a kid at an early age is get him used to playing a lot of 5 on 5. Even if its just really trash little kids at a rec league, the natural game sense of spacing and handling the ball with help D poking and reaching is huge, along with being okay with being watched by crowds and being competitive against strangers.
yeah i wouldnt really worry about the shooting form until middle school really.
handles, footwork, angles and the mental aspect of the game are what i'd build the foundation on if you're really trying to push him.

Thanks for this, I read something earlier which said don't let them chuck shots at a 10 foot rim, which is exactly what I let him do a couple times and his form looks horrible. I like Garland's shot because it's low, sort of like Trae Young's which a little kid can emulate, my nephew actually has a nice gooseneck follow through on his shot right now on 9 foot rims, I'll upload a pic since it's funny how good his follow through is. The footwork never really crossed my mind so I'm going to look at that more.
Not sure if it's too early for him reilo, he's pretty big for his age and taller than some of his older brothers friends who are 10-11, and most importantly he wants to get better. He has a hoop at his grandparents house in PA, and whenever he goes up there he stays outside all day just shooting on it, he'll go outside and shoot in the winter, doesn't matter what the weather is he wants to play basketball whenever he can.
I wont push him, only thing I really get on him about is his off hand, but the shooting he keeps asking me to help him with.
Edit - His follow through
And yeah he has a shot sleeve ๐
It's too early... he may be tall at 8 but he isnt strong enough nor coordinated enough to worry that much... You can get his form right in a year or two
Shooting is something you can fix later. As someone else said getting him in games and learning everything else is more important at that age
By DY_nasty Go To PostBest shot coaching I had was to stop trying to shoot from far out as a kid.
Solid advice.
I wouldnโt stress too much about form in any serious drill like fashion applied practically to shooting around. Definitely agree body control and general game awareness are more important.
That being said, I donโt see anything wrong with laying on his back practicing while watching TV. I think weโve discussed this before on this board several times. Lay on back, keep elbow in, shoot up with goose neck, watch for backspin and use guide hand. Rinse n repeat. No hoop. No misses or makes. Just motion repetition
