I post on here twice to ask for advice on how to dunk better and a critique of my skills and people are talking abt my choice in music? Seems kinda racist/micro-aggressive, I wish there were actual hoopers in here

Help Advice for a 6’2 center/pforward?

2 Upvotes

I am stuck playing center and power forward in my team. I am 20 and 6’2, which is by no means tall for basketball, but is tall enough in my country. My whole life I have been relegated to do this job no body else can do and I hate it.

I want to drive, score and shoot and I used to be able to do that before. In my uni’s team I have even less freedom to do these things and its messing with my head. I get like five touches at most (but I am kinda forced to pass those and set screens anyway), but still run every fast break, set every screen, jump for every rebound, push people around, get hit every possession.

I am not having fun. Isn’t having fun the whole point? I get praised after games but still feel like shit because I am not doing what I individually want to do.

Any advice? I’ll do whatever it takes to be able to score in games like I do in practice. Anything I must add to my bag to be more versatile in this role? Midrange? Threes? Amy advice is appreciated.

Shooting Body feeling different every time I shoot/ can’t be consistent

2 Upvotes

I go to the gym roughly 4 times a week and shoot for 1-3 hours and my body feels different every time I go and can’t get a consistent shot ?

Sometimes every thing feels right and I’m consistently putting the ball in the net from anywhere on the court.

Today I was felt weak and was shooting a lot of air balls and back rim and when I did make it felt like w mistake.

Guys at the gym said I was using a different form every shot and I agreed. Shooting just felt alien today like I couldn’t get it consistent

I’m actively losing weight for added context. Just curious if anyone knows of this phenomenon and if it’s something I’m personally doing wrong

Tip Which ball is better?

1 Upvotes

So I have a junk ball which is not playable, so I decided to buy a new one. I landed on the BG2000 and the BG3000. Which one is better, and is the BG3000 worth double the price?

Help What should I do

1 Upvotes

I’m 5’9, with shoes I’ve been running positions 1,2 and 3 and I’m a 16 year old sophomore and my team went 21-3 last year on varsity. I sat almost end of the bench on varsity and 4 juniors on jv played over me and once I got In I impacted the game but I only averaged like 4-6. I was singled out a lot during last years practices. I averaged 15 during middle school. but as of now I may be starting. We have a new coach now but we lost all of our seniors who were starting last year and only have 1 junior from last year that started. I’ve often been waking up mentally exhausted and hating going to practice/ anything basketball related but after I get done with it I feel better. It’s been making me so depressed/burntout to the point where I can’t enjoy anything basketball related at all. What would you do in my situation ?
