ok people are sayin practice is wut u should do. but really just play if u got any frends that are like 6546981498659846 times better than u the play with them. i used to be junk 2 years ago now i can shoot 3's , lay ups, tricks, and stick D all becuz u pick the skillz up in the game. or watch them and pick up some moves. i noe this mite sound korny but when u cant play ( maybe is snowin or w/e) do wut i do, i do mental court. which is imagine urself in a situation on the court and think of ways u could try to go out of it and score a bucket. then put it to the test in the court. sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt just try ur best and play with alot of people that are 65461684635 times better than u
