To successfully shoot a basketball do these steps:
1.) Keep your feet no further than shoulder width apart, preferably closer together, and slightly staggered. You should put your shooting foot very slightly ahead of your non-shooting foot.
2.) Flex your knees slightly. Get into athletic stance.
3.) Position your elbow so it's inline with your shoulder, not directly under the ball.
4.) Grip the ball correctly. Position your shooting hand so that your fingertips are perpendicular to the seams in the ball.
5.) Locate the target, jump, and shoot.
6.) Keep dominant hand in the air for a follow through.
