ok, if im open when the ball is passed to me i have time to align my self, infact i always seem to have enough time to - "straighten" the ball know what I mean?..its a bad habit where when the ball is in both of my hands, the lines have to be horizontal lol.

thats one of my problems, another which is probably related to this is my clutch shoot once i have just finished executing a crossover and i dont want to drive to the basket sometimes i wanna get a quick jumpshot but i can do it.

i think my problem is my foot planting..

anyone get any tips?..besides repetition of it?

Understanding where you are coming from brother however when the ball comes to you remember this ok "hand preparation", always imporant understand dog, e.g. when the ball is been passed to you and your open have you hands and feet ready.

yeah man just remember dont panic, take your time, hand preparation, feet preparation and look around to see if there are any other good places to go or passes...

if you want clutch u should get use to shootin whit your feet not rite
what i do is i go to one corner of the court and have sumone at the top of the key and i run up and they pass me the ball and soon as i get it i turn and shoot if u can do those then that would help even if u standin still
also if u got and1 mixtape vol.8 or know sumone who has it watch the part wit kyle kover and watch how he just catches and shoots
