little nephew wants to play basketball.
lil nigga is only 4. I have some time.
>I bought a basketball today, just aired it up
>having trouble just dribbling
where can I learn to ball? is it possible through youtube? I have a basket 40 yards away so practice wont be a problem.
how do I learn form on shooting? I never had a jumper and I cant even get any power behind my old both hands forming a diamond and pushing the ball away from my chest shot.
can I learn to ball without a coach? please help guys. not a basketball fan but Im trying since its playoffs.
Samuel Fisher
APOLOGIZE
Christian Parker
REMINDER TO NOT REPLY TO ANY EURO FOREIGN FLAG, THEY ONLY WANT THEIR BASKETBALL QUESTION ANSWERED TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR DEGENERATE GAMBLING.
DONT FALL FOR THEIR SCAM LINES
>"I WANT TO GET INTO BASKETBALL"
>"IM NEW TO BASKETBALL"
THEY ARE CASUAL FUCKS, TELL THME TO FUCKK OFF.
Ethan Wood
I'll apologize once you beat a good team.

Haven't gambled in two years my friends.
Luke Butler
Schroeder is the worst starting PG I've seen in a long time.
He's like a 1 or 2 read option run first QB.
Once a defense takes away the first and second option of a play he just runs to the basket all the time.
Then when a defense denies him he just makes dumb throws away from the play and ends up with a TO, over and over again.
Doesn't care he's playing against John Wall and their transition offense, he just keeps doing it and allowing fastbreak points.
The Hawks have intentionally dumbed down their offensive system just for him and it's ruined their team.
Gavin Johnson
I unironically think if you put Westbrook on the Hawks they'd be a 50-60 win team.
They're good on paper but their execution has taken a nose dive since they lost to the Cavs in the ECF.
Ayden Bell

LELLARD KEKED BY JAVALE!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Noah Gomez

Zachary Moore
Does somebody have a free stream of the GSW vs. Portland game?
Xavier Perez
>The kraut doesn't know
Cooper Cook
how have people STILL not realized all nationally televised games are easily findable on youtube or reddit. The reason you don't see links to streams on here anymore is because its gotten so ridiculously easy to find good ones that nobody bothers
Landon Johnson
google "nba streams reddit"
Nicholas Torres
>discord
Why?
Bentley Nelson
Can we make a normal /NBA/ discord? I still haven't made myself a community. Would you guys be down to join?
Zachary Lee
Clips has literally been in a state of depression in his own locked channel in the locked discord since the devestating loss yesterday.
I'm starting to worry about his mental health....
Jaxson Cox
threadly reminder that the Bucks are >our team and will sweep the Crapturds in 6
Jaxon Thompson

Justin Cox

>muh sekrit nba club
Tyler Taylor
He's going into black out mode like lebron during the playoffs. All he does is stay in discord all day and play 2k when the clippers arent playing.
Jonathan Powell

James Harden is the most underrated and under-appreciated MVP candidate in NBA history. Prove me wrong.
>Rockets expected to not even make playoffs this year
>Runner up MVP in 2 years where he should have been the winner (most likely will lose this year)
>wasn't on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd All-NBA team last year.
>this year was the first year he was actually voted an All-Star starter
>no one has respected his game until very recently. dismissed as a flopper, free throw shooter and no defense player when he has real skill on par with any superstar in the NBA.
>everyone hates his team for no apparent reason. Rockets seen as the bad guys of the NBA

Well, I guess cars, trains, and airplanes are too damn ambitious for you too, aren't they? Horse and carriage all the way. Aren't you a little too tech-savy to be Amish, Leroy?

HOLY SHIT MADURO IS HERE.
Easton Myers
you mean the battle you lost?
Easton Barnes
post clippers and warriors and blazer and jazz pokemons pls
Lincoln Cook
It makes sense the Warriors are losing. It takes time and team chemistry to build a champion. Even King James needed a second season with the Heat to get his ring. The Warriors will this L and get a taste of humble pie coming into the offseason. If KD sticks around they might be able to have another go at it next season.
Joseph Reyes
one last post for the new discord join theres only 5 people here

Dude, are /nfl/ secondaries trying to absorb /nba/?
I use Sup Forums X and all trips are filtered but one made a thread the other day since I didn't see it immediately, and now all this talk about a discord?

Carson King
Why do you guys not believe in the MVP?
Aaron Lewis
The Blazers need better rebounding
Charles Adams
Your team is a joke. I'm going to enjoy thinking about you crying yourself to sleep after you get swept in the first round
Jaxson Stewart
And that's where Nurkic comes in.
Connor Bell
Found Brazil
Oliver Lewis
How old are you?
Carter Jenkins
Everything is better with regular practice.
Try to look stuff up online, youtube can give you a ton of advice.
As for shooting, just do the classic method, just shoot until you hit 100..... in a row....
Aaron Sanders
morreeeee
Jeremiah Butler
Is this you senpai?
Ryder Cox
Holy shit, how did you know?
Justin Sanchez
My theory is Lebron/Durant/Harden/Westbrook/whoever were "supposed" to dominate the league and all the Nike and other big advertising money was behind that narrative, then Steph (through hard work and dedication, no less), became too good and started fucking up that narrative. The powers that be can't stop him entirely, but they can slow him down. It's a massive steaming pile of shit and makes it hard for me to watch the NBA. The Warriors should be going for a three-peat right now.
Jaxson Rivera
Damn the Warriors defense is freakin' incredible.
Benjamin Scott
Someone is going on a killing spree in cleveland
Blake Bell
More like the shitzers can't shoot a single 3.
Caleb Ortiz
What team would Joker Baby play for?
Oliver Cooper
the thunder
Jack Gutierrez
Well, I was here last year and I truly believe that series was rigged. And it was a rig in the making since the begging of the season, that's why the warriors came back down 1-3 and they eventually lost up 3-1
Samuel Bell
>refball
>incredible
Any team in the league would foul out half their team playing the same way the Warriors play.
It's insane bias.
Justin Miller
