Shooting

Nowadays, the most thing people want to do in the sport of basketball is shoot the ball. Yeah, I admit, I want to shoot the ball a lot when I have the chance to. Does that make me a ball hog? Well, it probably does. To be honest, I think it depends on what mood I am in. I know for sure being on a basketball team I will do whatever it takes to win. I will, shoot, pass, dive, and handle the ball. Shooting is like a great art of basketball in my eyes. There are so many different shots. My favorite shooter is Stephen Curry. Every time I shoot, I want it to be like his. I know I will never be the shooter he is, and have the exact shooting form. I will always and only be me. I might have similarities, but I will alway be me. Shooting the ball takes years and years of practice unless, you were born with the talent. I've heard my coach tell me that I am one of the greatest shooters in Saint Paul, and I was not born with the talent. I did not come out of my mother with a basketball, I had to work. I will never understand why shooting is the greatest feeling to me. When you're having a great night and everything you put up just goes in! That is a great feeling. Like there is no words to describe that moment you are in. You just feel like eating an invisible bowl of cereal. Also, when you're having an off day. It is a learning experience still. It is like a shooters god telling you that you are still human. It is a reminder that you are not always untouchable, you are not a god. Nowadays, you see kids just want to shoot the ball, and shoot threes. Sometimes I feel passing is a loss art form of basketball now. I love to make assists also, I really do. Also, having handles and breaking peoples ankles. That is an amazing feeling also. Crossing someone over, making people fall to the ground or floor. It makes you laugh sometimes. You know what though? It still never beats shooting in my eyes. Shooting is just something I can not describe to you. You just have to watch videos on youtube or go out and shoot the ball a lot. Feel the feeling that I love and the greatest shooter of all time, Stephen Curry. "I want to practice to the point where it's almost uncomfortable how fast you shoot, so that in the game things kind of slow down." -Stephen Curry
