Go to the gym shoot 25 free throws with your strong hand than shoot normal and make 25. Repeat this throughout the season it should get better.

2.Shoot a better from 3.

This is a workout called Heaven or Hell. you need a friend to help out. You start at the half court line run up to the top of the key and shoot. You make it you get 1 point you miss you loose 2. Keep going till you get +8 or -8. If you get -8 you run 5 suicides. If you get +8 you win. Repeat process to get better.

3.Get all boards.
Get another friend. Throw the ball at the back board with your friend right behind you and you keep rotating with the ball in the air. 1st person to drop or miss the ball looses. Keep going until your calves burn.
4.Play better D
When you play pick up games with friends change the rules to score. The only way to score is to get a D-rebound 1 point get a O-rebound 2 points block 3 points steal 4 points. If you score your opponent looses the amount the field goal was. 1st team to negative 10 looses 1st to 20 wins. Great game and adds a different feel to the game.
