What is your strategy for fantasy basketball?

I'm talking about your WINNING strategy of course. More specifically, please give details of what are the little things you do to stay ahead of your league in a rotisserie fantasy basketball league.What is your strategy for fantasy basketball?
i'll talk a bit about drafting, cuz this is where i believe the year is won or lost.



first 4 rounds - go for value, draft the BEST PLAYER ON THE BOARD. don't worry too much about doubling (or even tripling) up at one position, you gotta go with value here.

next 2 rounds - by the time round 6 is done, you should have either 1 big man or 1 pg.

next 4-5 rounds - here you grab guys with upside - dont go for the safe picks here, go with the attractive guys who are poised to breakout.

late rounds - fill up on depth, grab the rookies here, stock up on big men or even one-cat guys (ie guys who only rebound - chandler, przybilla, etc, or guys who only ast - brevin knight last yr, etc)



a few other rules:

NEVER buy too early on rookies. wait it out, let someone else eat the hype

Drafting well isnt about getting the guys you want, but its getting them at the LATEST possible time. its no credit to you if you get joe johnson in the 3rd round, its a huge steal if you managed to watch him fall to the 6th and got him there.
to not playWhat is your strategy for fantasy basketball?
The first round is filled with guys who perform in many categories, so go with the best guy available first.



Try to draft PGs early. There are only so many of them in the league. The best ones will give you assists, steals, 3s and points. Good PGs are like closers in baseball. There are only a few, and outside of 1st rounders like Lebron and Garnett, you can't get what PGs deliver (assists) from any other source.



Also, if you're able to, get a center that you can depend on. These are scarce as well. Try to focus on getting a C that blocks shots.



Like the NBA, there are a ton of SG and SF, you can fill out your roster with these guys later. Shoot for what is scarce first.
always pay attention on guys who are on fire and pick them up. Also get a well balanced team in all scoring stats. Like In points rebounds assists blocks and so on. A good assister can be chris paul who also gets lots of steals. he can be ur point gaurd. A good shooting gaurd would be like ray Allen cause he cn shoot threes and score points at the same time. A good small forward is who can shoot threes and a person who can both redound and assist. A power forward should be a guy that can reboun more than the smll forward and assist less than the small forward and should be able to block a bit. the center should be the only person who can block and rebound the most in your team like ben Wallace or Marcus camby frm last season.What is your strategy for fantasy basketball?
select a SG first. they are always the most affective players in the nba. Like Kobe and tracy. Thn PF then PG then C then SF. Small Forward is the least most athletic player in the lineup unincludin LeBron.

What is your opinion of ranking basketball players at a young age?

I am the #1 Basketball player in the nation for 14 year olds, i am only in 8th grade and i have already got letters of intent from ucla, unc and many major colleges. my friends disagree with ranking kids our age since we r not even in high school yet. what do you think?What is your opinion of ranking basketball players at a young age?
If they want to, they can, but if you don't want to pay attention to that stuff, you don't have to. Look at Duke if you want to go to a great school by the way!!!What is your opinion of ranking basketball players at a young age?
i think it is good.

They evaluate your talent.What is your opinion of ranking basketball players at a young age?
These websites and ranking "gurus" that come up with player rankings certainly have the right to rate younger players, but they do not always hold up as players get older, and make their way through high school and upper-level AAU ball. Sometimes these "Experts" are right (Lebron was considered the #1 player of his year from middle school on), and somethimes they are wrong (Taylor King being considered the best player of the class of 2007 when he was age 13-14, ahead of players like Mayo, Gordon, Love and Rose)
I'm glad to see a talented young man such as you wanting to know what's up. They rank players so young to keep an eye on you, so they don't lose track of you later.

High school and college coaches will be getting to know you very soon.

Be VERY careful! You're like meat on a hook. They're like hungry wolves.

They want what you can do for them. You can help them win. Winning brings in more money for the school, the athletic program and the coach himself. It's all about money!

This matters a lot in high school, but it is totally THE reason in college.

Don't be fooled. People love your talent, not you.

If you want to see how true that is, get injured. You'll be forgotten soon if you can't come back.

High school and college athletes are like slaves on an auction block.

A coach will move you into his home and take food out of his own children's mouths if you're a star!

If you're a benchwarmer, see if that happens....

Be smart. Get all of the education you can.

Develop your basketball talent AND your basketball knowledge. That way, you can at least become a coach after your career is over.

A basketball player's career is not very long. Learn to do other things so you can make a living after you can't play anymore.

Your parents are there for you even when you're not famous.

They're in your corner.



I hope you're successful! Please take this advice to heart. I'd love to hear about your success.

What is the difference between rotissere and head to head scoring in fantasy basketball?

Rotisserie aka Roto, is where you combine your stats, and the winner has the best overall stats.



Head to Head aka H2H, is where you play a team weekly, and you get wins and losses - then have playoffs.



H2H is more like the real thing in my opinion.

  • How can I get to play basketball in college?

    Ok here is the deal, all throught my high school career I only played basketball in my freshman year. I know that I'm better than most of the players on the varsity team, and they are pretty good. But when i tried out for varsity both junior and senior year I was cut. Now I'm at the end of my high school life and about to move on to college. My mom says that I should go to a JC for two years and transfer out, but others that have seen me play say that I should go to a university. The problem is that since I didn't play varsity I can't get a scholarship. Can anybody help me with this problem? I would really like it if a college coach told me what to do since they are the ones that really do know.How can I get to play basketball in college?
    Get on an AAU team. If not contact your local JC's coach and see what you can do. The best case scenario is to go to a JC and than have a chance at transferring out while getting an education.
    You just aren't good enough. Don't say you are better but didn't make the team because that makes no sense it's just an excuse cuz you are not as good as the other kids. The varsity coaches look for the most talent, and the best players, and you are not one of them.How can I get to play basketball in college?
    go see the JC athletics dept.
    well usually, you would have to be recruited to play in college, or at least make the try outs if they have anyHow can I get to play basketball in college?
    i would say go to a jc cuz if u didnt play on varsity no one will know who u r or how much talent u have
    Most likely, you're not going to be playing for a D-1 or D-11 school. Even great high schoolers don't get scholarships. But if you really want to play in college, contact the athletics department at either a D-111, NAIC, or JC to see what it takes to participate with their team.
    Honestly you are not good enough. If you did not make the Varsity team junior or senior year then there is no chance. I know you probably think there is some kind of conspiracy against you and thats why you didn't make the team, but no coach would cut one of his best players. Most players who get scholarships played varsity since they were a sophomore or even freshman (or if you're O.J. Mayo 7th grade). So if you didn't even make the team as a SENIOR...you really don't have a realistic view of how good you are.
    My son (when he graduated from High School) had a hard time getting an athletic scholarship and he was one of the top players in our state (voted on by the coaches). He won every award his last couple of years of High School and it was still difficult because he was only 5' 11". If you're as good as you say, they would have put you on the team. No coach is going to turn down a good player. They want to win! There are no college coaches on here answering questions; they're out recruiting High School players right now. If I'm wrong and I realize I could be, then go to a Junior College and try out for the team. If you're good enough, they'll put you on the team.
    see the athletics dept.
    JC's a good option because it'll be slightly less competititive so you can have more time to refine your skills so that when you transfer you can look better in front of varsity coaches. Another thing you can do is go to college or university and just try out for the team as a walk-on. Many of today's pros played college ball first as walk-ons, so if you really feel that you're good enough, you can give that a try.
    You should go to a junior college and get your playing time there.



    While you can try to walk on at a University, if you're competing against scholarship athletes, chances are you won't get much playing time even if you're just as talented as they are. It's kind of like the NBA where they will play the guys with the big contract for a couple years over the guy with the one year deal. In college, you don't have time to wait the year or two for them to leave.



    Go to a junior college where you have a better chance to get a good amount of playing time. If you're as good as you say you are, you could be one of the top players on your JUCO team and then transfer to a university.



    But you really have to do your homework and check out the schools you are interested in. If you're serious about going straight to the university, contact the athletic departments at the schools, make a tape of yourself playing ball. You really have to market yourself to see if there is any interest. Since you don't have a resume of high school experience and/or stats, you have to do other things.



    Bottom line is, if you have the talent, you can make it somewhere, somehow. But you have to showcase it.
    If u really r good u would not have been cut.but if u r good and ur coach just didnt like u then u should go to a jc for a year then transfer to a university.

    first you have to play basket ball and then you have to teach ur son just joking
    Sign him up for a team or a camp. He should learn all the fundamentals. Then go with him outside and shoot ALOT of shots. Try to be consistent. Try lay-ups, free-throws, jumpshots (mid-range and 3-pointer's), fadaways, and if he's tall enough; dunks. He should already know passes and dribbling. Play 1-on-1, and he should be better with defense.How can you teach your son how to play basketball?
    counsellings, show your kid the benefits of playing basketball. have him go to the park or a near by court to play. play with him

    Believe me.



    If you just stay home and play video games, skateboard or whatever, not playing basketball, that won't do nothing. Go out in the morning and come back at night,.How can I get better at basketball In a short period of time?
    Hate to say it, but there's no real way to do it in a short time unless you've got a real gift for the game. Practice is important, but if you want to get better in other ways, try watching pro games. Watch more games in general. Get a coach to do a game film session with you to show you what guys are doing right or wrong
    First you have to like the game. Once you develop a passion for the game, everything come easier and practise is not punishment anymore but enjoyment.



    If you have a competitive spirit, the game will be right for you. If you are not the type, forget it!How can I get better at basketball In a short period of time?
    During the summer work on all aspects of the game : dribbling, shooting, passing, foot work, conditioning. Sorry to say but PRACTICE is the most important thing to do to get better.

    How are team fouls in college basketball couted/What is a team foul?

    I've been watching college basketball for ages and am a crazy KU Jayhawk born in Lawrence; however, i have never understood the concept of team fouls.How are team fouls in college basketball couted/What is a team foul?
    Team fouls are the number of fouls that every player on your team has committed combined in one half. If your point guard had 1 foul in the first half, and your center has 2, you have 3 team fouls. The team fouls are important because they decide what happens to the other team when you foul. When you have 0-7, the other team gets possession and a new shot clock. When you have 7-10, they get 1 and 1 free throws. 10+, and they get 2 free throws.
    personal fouls are called on the players



    each player in college bball gets 5 fouls before they get eliminated



    team fouls are the total number of personal fouls each team has accumulated



    if a player is fouled in the act of shooting the player is always given 2 free throws.



    if a player commits a non shooting personal foul. the team of the player who was fouled gets a new shot clock and inbounds the ball



    after a team accumulates 7 team fouls they are but in the 1%26amp;1 bonus and every foul after that the player fouled gets to shoot a 1 and 1 free throw meaning if you make the first one you get to attempt a 2nd free throw.



    after 10 team fouls you get the 2 shot bonus where the player who gets fouled gets to attempt 2 free throws regardless if they miss the first one.How are team fouls in college basketball couted/What is a team foul?
    Team fouls are the total number of fouls committed by a team. A personal foul is a foul on a single player, but like I said, team fouls are the total number of fouls by the team.



    For example, if Smith had 2 fouls, Bobby had 1, and Marcus had 3 fouls the team would have a total of 6 team fouls.
    It just means the total number of fouls committed by that team in the half. For example, if player A has 2 fouls, player B has 3 fouls, player C has 1 foul and the rest of the team haven't committed any fouls then this team would have 6 team fouls.How are team fouls in college basketball couted/What is a team foul?
    It means how many fouls your whole team has so like this. Lets say KU has 16 team fouls that means the whole team has 16 team fouls.
    team fouls is when a team has so many fouls. Like lets say Pittsburgh has 20 team fouls and one of there players has 2 fouls.

    How do tennis shoes perform as basketball shoes?

    I got a nice pair of tennis shoes this Christmas but I've been playing some bball lately on indoor courts. Would I have much to gain by investing in a new pair of basketball shoes?How do tennis shoes perform as basketball shoes?
    u don't need bball shoes if you have ankle braces onHow do tennis shoes perform as basketball shoes?
    sometimes tennis shoes can leave rubber marks on basketball courts, so the people who run the court might not let you use them. Also the durability is different.How do tennis shoes perform as basketball shoes?
    It usually won't be too bad but high tops are the best so I would lay off a little and not play too serious
    depending on the tennis shoes you have, bball shoes should protect you a little more. usually tennis shoes are made a little more for running straight whereas bball shoes are crafted to account for movements in all directions a little more. so bball shoes should help prevent rolling an ankle.

    like the other answer says, ankle braces can help prevent this if you want to wear tennis shoes. I just play in bball shoes, kinda only makes sense (a butter knife can screw screws, but its not exactly safe or meant for that...)

    How long does a middle school basketball game last?

    And how long is each quarter? Any other rules/tips you can tell me? It's my first year of basketball, and I'm really lost because everyone else on the team knows all these rules - they've been playing forever!



    I play center or a forward.How long does a middle school basketball game last?
    i am a middle school student the quarter is 8min it all last between 1 and 1.5 hours. and the coach WILL GET WILD AT YOU IF YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG i almost got kicked out cuz i missed a buzzer 3pointer that took us to over time and we won the game if we lost he would of kicked me out becare full.





    GOOD LUCK THOUGH
    At least five(5) minutes per quarter.



    It should be at least a bit over that, probably 6-8 minutes long.



    One tip would be to stay calm during the game, try not to get too excited. Be ready to watch little kids play, a lot of missed baskets and tons of open shots.



    Make sure communication with your teammates is working well, try to tell them what you plan on doing and make a game plan.



    Good luck!How long does a middle school basketball game last?
    Overall about 1.5hrs

    8mins a qtr

    (32 mins game time)

    What to practice before jv basketball try outs?

    Basketball try outs is in 2 months. I want to know what to practice. Also if you know any drill please tell me them and how to do them, thanks.What to practice before jv basketball try outs?
    You need to practice dribbling, jump shooting, and boxing out for rebounds.

    If you are right handed tie it behind your back and dribble around cones with your left hand. Vice versa if you are a lefty. You want to be able to dribble to your opposite side so you are more versatile. Practice jump shooting by making sure you are square to the basket jump then release smooth. Make sure you box out for rebounding.What to practice before jv basketball try outs?
    Definitely practice ball handling. No matter what height you are, if you can handle the ball well under pressure and can get to the hoop, you will always have a spot on the team. I would suggest practicing your ball handling as much as you can. Practice sprinting at the hoop while dribbling, then going up for a layup at a fast pace. Do this 20-30 times from one side of the hoop, then go in from the other side using your opposite hand. This drill teaches you to handle the ball while sprinting and also helps your layup skills.



    Also, try dribbling back and forth between your hands for about 5 minutes. The closer your hands are to the ground when you dribble the harder the drill will be, so get them as close to the ground as you can when you do the drill. If you can look up a few moves to practice on youtube, those could also be helpful. Keep practicing and good luck!What to practice before jv basketball try outs?

    Eastbay has a TON of shoes. I have a pair of Nike Shox, and I thought they were kind of hard in the heel. The toe of the shoe had a neat little spring though. I'm not sure it's really a great shoe although lots of people wear them.



    Also, I think you can customize shoes at Nike.com. I have never done it myself, but I think you can get some really customized shoes if you tinker with it enough. You may have to sign in or something:

  • How many calories does a basketball player lose?

    An average starting basketball player that plays roughly 40 minutes a game. I always see Garnett and Shaq sweating like crazy when there on the free-throw line. So it got me wondering.How many calories does a basketball player lose?
    i would say like about 400-500 caloriesHow many calories does a basketball player lose?
    I would agree with the guy above me. 400 to 500 calories should be burned in that time period. But it varies. If you are in good shape and you are running the floor every possession than you might even burn more. But if you give up on plays and just stand around than it will be less. Just clarifying because my neighbor used to play YMCA ball and would tell me about all the calories he burned. I went to one of the games and he would just camp on the offensive end to get quick buckets. lolHow many calories does a basketball player lose?
    Close to 300.

    turn yur head to the right when you shoot, that way, when it goes to the left it will be aimed at the rim lmao :PHow do I fix my shooting posture for basketball?
    I think your height does not matter in this throw.



    Do this:



    1.- Grab the ball with one hand behind the ball and one in front.



    2.- Move your arms up with almost the ball hitting your head.



    3.- Move the throwing hand forward without moving your head. Jump if it's required.

    Those are really cool, super comfy and I used them every game last season.
    here are some.

    1. bouncing the ball with 1 hand on a wall using fingers while not looking at it.

    2.dribble the ball 5 times then rapidly slam it down 5 times.

    3.and just do the basics, around the back, cross over etc......What are some good drills to improve my basketball handling skills?
    Just run up and down the court doing moves like crossovers, behind the back, throuh the legs you know just regular stuff. This will help your basic ball handling and will also build stamina if you do it long enough... Also try standing and dribbling two basketballs at once for a while and then when you get more comfortable with it, switching hands, and bouncing them around your body and doing tricks. It will help your hand eye coordination which will help with dribbling...Also try going on youtube and looking up pete maravich ball handling turtorials. He has a bunch of crazy tricks to help you with your ballhandling, but i guess i works if he did it haha. Good luck bro
    depends if your from the hood then it should come up naturally if your some wealthy suburban boy no hope for you.What are some good drills to improve my basketball handling skills?
    just practice more.
    Google "pete maravich basketball drills"



    I didn't check these all out, but there are some youtube videos and links to websites that talk about the drills that Pistol Pete Maravich used to make him perhaps the greatest ball handler in NBA history.



    You can NOT go wrong with Pistol, and the DVDs would be well worth the price. He was incredible. I met him at some basketball camps and the things he could do with a basketball simply defy description.
    Dribble the ball everywhere, dribble around your neigboor hood, to a friends house, when you go to the mailbox, but dont stop dribbling.

    I would say the break away rim or the replay system that is now in place to review plays (out of bounds, shot reviews, and clock issues) in the last two minutes of a game, and 3 point field goals that may be 2 point field goals.



    The new break away rims are al most indestructible, in fact the weight of a grand piano can't even break the rim or the backboard. The rim is spring loaded and no longer connected directly to the backboard. The rim also features a system that holds the net in place and there is no longer any eyelets to put the net through.What are some new madeup basketball inventions?
    Make a device that shoots the ball back to you after you shoot it. It could be like a giant net around the whole basket and it would shoot it back to you so that you can have more shots.

    I am a Basketball coach and I have worked with Gilbert arenas and Jordan Farmar when they were in High school . you should expect a lot of running and fundamental drills. so be prepared for lay up drills, jump shot drills,sprints,outlet drills,passing drills,dribbling drills, free throw drills,etc. coaches are first looking for kids with great attitudes. attitude is everything!then, they want a player that has fundamental skills. no fancy stuff. and last but not leas,t a hustler and defender! if you nail these things I guarantee, you will make the cut! Good Luck buddy! make that team.

    What do you think of people going to rough neighborhoods to play basketball?

    I am 56, have been living in Puerto Rico for 22 years and love to play basketball. But the people in my neighborhood in Yabucoa get mad if you play hard. I suppose since I have been under intense training to run 400m., my game has improved a lot.



    Anyway, I find that I have to go to rough neighborhoods to play. The people there show me respect but some think it's dangerous for me to go to those places. Actually, I have much more trouble with richer kids who think they have something to prove. (In some case, I think some of them are participating in some type of initiation for drug gangs.)



    Anyway, I usually trust my instincts and good judgment but some people in my wife's family are a little shocked that I am playing in Bario Obrero and Llorens Torres. What do you think?What do you think of people going to rough neighborhoods to play basketball?
    Provided you don't drop hints of your wealth and do drops hints of your 'connections', all should be well.
    I think you will find better competition in those areas.What do you think of people going to rough neighborhoods to play basketball?
    You are asking for trouble, home boy!!!
    put on those jackets that protect you from gun shots. you're asking to get killed.What do you think of people going to rough neighborhoods to play basketball?
    Better bring your own net.
    I think life is dangerous. It just is. You still need to live it. If you are able to command respect in the rough neighborhoods then you should be fine. Anything can happen anywhere anytime- Live your life and do what makes you happy.
    I think that if you play hard but not over the line, everything will be fine. You'll earn respect on a basketball standpoint.

    On the other hand, throw and elbow on prupose, and... run as fast as you can.
    I understand your situation. if you play defense hard and you are the 'new' guy you will get made fun of and even get called for fouls all day long. eventually if you keep playing and show you have game, you wont get messed with. there is always a breaking in period for the 'new' guy on a 'new' court. there is always going to be a 'new' guy, maybe you can be the one to break in the next 'new' guy...
    It's hard to say, sure on some level you are taking a risk, Don't we all take risks everyday in one form or another. My personal feeling is that your basically safe. If you have a good repore with the people that you are playing with then its likely that if there is trouble they will probably have your back. Although I would worry about getting too competitive or cocky, that could come across like you feel that your better than they are. Keep playing until YOU feel unsafe or uncomfortable, until then... Play Ball!!!!!!!!!

    Calisthenics. Push ups, squats, leg lifts. Distance running and sprints can help as well.(about 2 miles) Calisthenics help because it shapes up your body and makes you more aware of your body mass and movement. Weights make you bulk up unevenly. With Calisthenics,you can sculpt the body they way you want. It also conditions you to be a bit tougher so you can take some hits. If you want more strength do more sets. For endurance, to more reps.
    Well it is very hard to get toned in 3 months.



    But I suggest running, squats, jump roping, lunges, jumping jacks, crunches, sit ups, pull ups, The Plank, ect. ect...



    all of the basic stuff you would usually do, but do it harder.How do I conditon for basketball in 3 months?
    I have about the same time till my try outs too.

    This should work:



    Everyday:

    25-40 push ups(you can do this in small incraments if you want)

    30-50 sit ups

    20-30 burpies(if you know what those are)



    Every-other-day:

    3 sets of 20-50 body weight squats

    Jog no less then 1 mile, and no more then 3 miles

    Either jump rope for 1-3 minutes or

    Do 3 sets of20-25 overs

    (Overs are where you jump side to side over a line that's anywhere from 1-5 inches wide)



    At least 3 days a week:

    Shoot 50 lay ups, 25 from each side. Don't take a break until you're done with at least 25, go full speed.

    Shoot 20 3 pointers from 3 different spots

    Shoot 30 mid ranged jumpers from 4 different spots.



    I know this seems, maybe a little intense, however it got me onto my high school varsity team my freshman year. I did a bit more, but you can vary this as much as you can to fit what you are able to do. Just remember, in the end: every push up you missed, every couple of meters you didn't run, and every shot that you didn't take, it'll show in your game.



    Good luck
    Run a mile a day to work on long distance runs



    then run suicides on the basketball court to work on stop and go speed, because you don't jog for 32 minutes a game you sprint then stop then sprint again.



    Do defensive slides to work on quickness.



    Run up and down the court while dribbling and make a lay up, it will just help you with b ball skills as well as conditioning.



    Good Luck, give me best answer.
    Dribble, shoot, run, sprints, watch some WNBA games and watch them play.
    There are two things you need to do: do basketball conditioning and have proper sports nutrition.



    Basketball Conditioning should contain a mixture of stop-and-go sprints and defensive drills. Long-distance training should be used sparingly...if used, it should be done in intervals (sprint, then jog, then sprint).



    Good Exercises would be:

    Suicides

    Sweet 16s

    Defensive Figure 8

    Foot-Fire



    descriptions @ http://www-basketball-tips-and-training.鈥?/a>



    Especially if you want to lose weight, then you also have to consider your nutrition. There's more "technical" stuff involved, but try to eliminate or minimize foods with "bad" fat such as doughnuts %26amp; chips. Add more healthy snacks like fruits %26amp; vegetables. Good athlete foods would be things like oatmeal, yogurt, salmon, tuna, whole-wheat pasta etc.

    Pull the ball behind your head like Michael Jordan does and then when your at your highest leap dunk it in. Thats for two hands though.
    Put on a weight jacketHow do i get the basketball over the rim when i dunk?

    4 inches over the rim might not be enough. however, you can try jumping from a little further: hitting the rim might be a sign that you're jumping too close next to the rim.How do i get the basketball over the rim when i dunk?
    jump higher or go adjust the rim or go to a 9 ft hoop court or do P90x plyometrics.

    I believe U. of the Pacific is located in Stockton, California. They made it to their conference championship this season where they lost to Cal State Northridge, a pretty solid team who gave #2 seed Memphi everything they could handle in the tournament before Memphis closed the game on a run to win

  • What would be the best basketball position for me?

    What would be the best basketball position for me?

    I'm about 6ft 1, Pretty good dribbler, average shooter, but am pretty good at lay-ups, left and right hand. Pretty fast, and a pretty good rebounder.

    For my age (15) i am tall and quite skinny. I prefer to play offence as my marking isn't great. I have only recently started playing again and need advice as to which position is suited to my style of play. Cheers.What would be the best basketball position for me?
    At that height it all depends on who your playing with, you could be the tallest person on the team, which in that case you would play a forward. But you might have guys that are like 6'5 or 6'6 or anything bigger then you, and in that case you would have to play a guard. Most point guards in the NBA are like around 6'3, so it all depends.
    u need 2 playin small forward n make sure yo ***** *** get n da weight roomWhat would be the best basketball position for me?
    cheerleader. totally. or mascot.... oh, towel boy... there it is towel boy.
    Forward sounds like a good fit. Either way keep playing and good luck.What would be the best basketball position for me?
    i would say a forward? maybe or 2 guard
    Point guard sounds like the natural position for you, man. But defense must get better and you should be a good (not average) shooter for the best success. Good luck!
    point guard or shooting guard.
    As a person who plays basketball constantly, here's my advice.





    At 6'1, you're on the tall side for 15, although you're now past the freshman basketball, so you're playing with other tall kids.



    What you've said so far sounds perfect for a PG, as a PG handles most of the dribbling for press breaks and sets up the offense, also, a PG must have quickness for dribbling and the ability to get into the lane and hit lay-ups (especially with both hands). However, your rebounding skills wouldn't be used as much here, but you're on the skinny side, and playing forward would mean you have to face other kids around (In my league..D1) around 6'2-6'3 who are most likely more muscular and physical than you. So PG would be best.

    get your vertical better, jump rope, frog leaps, squat-jumps, and knee tucks. Work on some new moves, make sure you are coordinated with both hands, and watch some old tapes over Kareem Abdul Jabar and examine his sky hook. Kevin McCales pivoting is good to watch too. Run alot to get your speed up. Maybe run a mile with ankle weights and a couple of minutes later run it without them. it's alot easier.What would be a good basketball conditioning plan for me?

    What D2 colleges have the highest number of basketball walkons?

    My son is a high school junior and is passionate about basketball and a good ball player. If he doesn't get any 'looks' (only 5' 10") in the next year, anything he can do to increase his chances? He doesn't care what college he attends (if not D2, then D3), but he just wants to play basketball and I'm wondering if there are any stats out there that indicate highest number of 'walk ons' over a time period, or other tips. He has good grades too!What D2 colleges have the highest number of basketball walkons?
    I was all county in high school and MVP of my team and I didn't even have a chance of making a D2 college team. My league was very good in high school including two D1 players one in which went to Kentucky. Division 2 is mainly for the great athletes with out a whole lot of skill that coaches think they can make better. I was offered to play at many D3 schools but didn't even have a chance at a last place division 2 team.What D2 colleges have the highest number of basketball walkons?
    We have a 6'6 Center at our very small (around 450 ppl) high school, and he is being welcomed with open arms to a D3 school over here. He's not very good, but D3 will accept mostly anyone that was good at the high school level. As for D2, i'm not really sure. I just tried to give you an impression of how it is around here, I know I didn't answer most of your question, just giving some input.

    I never knew there was anything wrong with that. So, no, I guess. Basically you only have to worry about ruining your basketball shoes for the court. Because the outdoors can be more rugged, you might cause imperfections on the bottom of your soles that may throw off your game. Other than that, if it looks good, go for it.What is wrong with wearing basketball shoes just for going out?

    How can I improve my basketball skills over summer vacation?

Over these 2 months I started shooting 2/50 shots from the outside of the key now I'm up to 30/50. I make constant layups easy I practice those less often.

    Practice, and summer camp.How can I improve my basketball skills over summer vacation?
    Practice practice practice
    Practice a ton, that's what helped me play varsity when I was in high school as a sophomore. Do alot a summer camps as well. Since your not that tall yet work on your ball handling. That is key if you want to be a good guard, because you said your strong so it would be so much easier to get to the rim for an easier shot. Also just look around for a game to play. I was lucky, I lived in a city so I could go to a park and play pick up games for hours and hours. I don't know if you have that luxury. If not just invite friends or find a local park to just ball in for hours. But yea do camps, you can always improve something in your game. Be the kids that is always at the gym, or at the park shooting. Coaches will see you have a great work ethic. Lastly and it might be to late now, but try and play summer ball for an aau team. Better competition and it kept me in game shape during the off season. Hope this helps and good luck!!!

    How can i get my basketball tournement sponsored ?

    June 17th will be held the first annual basketball tournement associated with Sun Youth at Montreal.Funds goes to Sun Youth. So far, coca cola will participate but no money.We need the money to cover the charges. The place is capable to sit about 4000 person ! Dj,artist and dancers are invited also. But we need a sponsor and it is hard to find one. How can i get one ? We asked , sent business plans but no answer.How can i get my basketball tournement sponsored ?
    Corporate sponsorship of youth sporting events is big business. Most corporations have annual budgets for sponsorship and charitable donations, relative to forcast revenues based on past business performance. An arena that holds 4000 is considered a minor or small venue and the advertising to head ratio return on such an event would be minimal. Depending on how much sponsorship you need, looking for multiple sponsors may be the best avenue. A business plan shows that you are organized and professional, but you still need a compelling cause. Coca Cola puts their name on just about every event held, it brings very little cache'. Seeking event sponsorship is a full time job. Top tier corporations are slammed with requests daily and very few squeak through the first gate.



    1. Develop a query letter.

    2. Pick at least 100 companies that you believe will benefit from exposure at this event.

    3. Contact each of these companies to determine if they are candidates for sponsorship without asking for sponsorship. You need to find out if their charitable expenditures are tagged or if they are open to requests.

    4. Offer exclusivity on a first come first served basis.

    5. Redefine your scope and expand your search net to 100 second tier companies.





    Unfortunately, this is a time consuming process and you have very little time left.

    What makes some people love outdoor basketball?

    I played outdoor basketball for three summers, 4days per week. Probably about 95% of people who play outdoor basketball, play outdoor basketball once per summer. I know someone who is 35years and has been playing outdoor basketball at the same basketball court for ten years. He played 8years of basketball in high school and college. I know someone else is is in his fourties and he has been playing outdoor basketball ever since he was a toddler. On Sunday, he always plays outdoor basketball. What makes some people love playing outdoor basketball?What makes some people love outdoor basketball?
    It's a passion for the game that every baller enjoys. Some start earlier than others but B-Ball is a very flexible game where you can play indoors at a gym or outdoors at parks or schools. You can organize BBQ and outdoor events or parties centered around basketball (which I'll be attending today). There is no age limit to when you can start playing or when you should stop playing, which is also the beauty of it. I don't think I can ever give up hoops, at least until I can't run no more. If you keep yourself fairly in shape, you should be able to play the sport for a good segment of your life.



    Your skills and experience won't go away, even though they may get a bit rusty if you take a break from the game for awhile. B-Ball is a sport you can enjoy with friends and close ones. It's not as slow pace as baseball and it's not as injury prone as football. You may experience a sprain ankle or leg cramps here and there but it's not something that can't be prevented or will hinder you long term if you take the right precaution to protect yourself. Just my 2 cents.

    For these rules go here: http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/tool/p/langid/1/langlc/en/searchfornews/1/searchforplayers/0/searchforteams/0/searchforphotos/0/searchstr/rules/searResu.html



    And click on "official basketball rules 2008"What's the differences between the rules of Basketball in Special Olympics and the rules in regular Olympics?


    For Special Olympics....especially for wheelchair basketball



    1. A personal foul is usually called if you hit the person's arm holding the ball.



    2. Usually, I think disqualification occurs on the 5th personal foul....same as college basketball.



    3. Also, you lose possession of the ball (the team's) if you do not throw in within 5 seconds after the referee whistles for the ball to be in play.



    4. I think there is also a shot clock system.....if the offense does not shoot within the shot-clock period (the clock going down to 00), the team loses posession of the ball.



    5. Technical fouls are usually called for obscenties at officials or for rough play with intent to injure (for example, strongly pushing a player).



    6. A player who purposely pushes an opponent and falls on his wheelchair is subject to a technical foul with an automatic ejection.



    I think that is some of the rules.

    Will I ever be able to dunk a basketball?

    Hey, I am 5 foot 7 inches and love basketball. I am in tenth grade and on my schools basketball team. I am planning on doing lots of vertical exercises and making my ability to jump a lot greater. My question is, even if I go workout and really increase my jumping ability, because of my height will I ever be able to dunk on a ten foot hoop. Is it physically possible?Will I ever be able to dunk a basketball?
    nope sorry kid
    Yeah it's definitely possible. A 3 foot vertical would do the trick for you. That's definitely an attainable goal. Check out this guy on youtube. He has a 40 inch vertical, and he's not a professional athlete or anything. http://youtube.com/jumptrainer He has a great site with info on jump training too.Will I ever be able to dunk a basketball?
    yeah its physically possible spudd can do it. it looks so amazing wen short people dunk it. looks like they're flying. literally. but i think u have to have pretty big hands to grip a basket ball.
    If you can develop a 3.5 ' vertical.Will I ever be able to dunk a basketball?
    there is a fair chance just remember when you jump bend down and load your legs first and keep up the good jumping kid


    Nate Robinson and Spud Webb can do it, work hard enough and so can you.
    Doesn't look like to good of a chance for you, but keep working on it.



    Good Luck!!
    Nate Robinson can do it. I'm pretty sure he is shorter than you.
    dude wear an ankle weight then try to do treadmill
    yea man u can definately dunk

    Spud webbs was like 5' 6 and he won the NBA slam dunk contest in 1986 lol

  • How to keep my portable basketball hoop from getting stolen?

    I can't get a "In Ground" Basketball hoop because my parents say it would be too hard to put the cement in. (Is it? If not then help me convince them) I can maybe put sand but I wouldn't know how. I know alot of people that like to steal stuff.How to keep my portable basketball hoop from getting stolen?
    You could try chaining it to something, but that could probably end up being more work than cementing it. My basketball hoop at my old house was cemented in, it's not really a lot of work. You just have to dig the hole and lay down the cement. Plus, it would be less up keep than a portable one, cause they can get knocked over and the bottom will fill with water and get all gross.How to keep my portable basketball hoop from getting stolen?
    If you have a ladder just take it off after you are done playing. It might be a pain but at least you know your basketball hoop is safe. You can also just put it in your backyard if you have space. Don't let those crazy thieves steal it!How to keep my portable basketball hoop from getting stolen?

    Is the Canadian system of basketball different to the United States?

    Hi im chris lewis and im from Ontario Canada. I have been hearing that the Canadian system of basketball is totally different to the United States. Is that true? If so can you please explain to me why or how its different from each other?Is the Canadian system of basketball different to the United States?
    Canada has adopted FIBA rules that are international rules. They are basically the rules they use in the Olympics and World Championships. Different key, 4 10 minute quarters, time outs must go through scorers table. You can bat the ball off of the rim on D, really stupid rules.



    Canada is using these rules for high school College, University and of course national team.



    They are a poor rule choice because 24 second shot clock for kids as young as 14 is not smart.



    We should be using NCAA rules for high school, College and University as they are the best rules for amateur basketball.Is the Canadian system of basketball different to the United States?

I'm not 100% sure of this, because I don't know if tickets are really "pets" but they're certainly not "vehicles" or "missed connections." Actually, now that I think about it, the might be "missed connections" because your date cancelled on you, but I don't really know.What section would I put basketball tickets under on Craigslist?

    I am having the hardest time finding somewhere i can get a jersey with our last name and her sisters basketball number? Ive tried ebay but the smallest they have is too big... does anyone know of a place?Where can i get a basketball jersey personalized for my toddler?
    try eastbay.com they have some generic jerseys which can be personlized for about $3-$5 bucks more.Where can i get a basketball jersey personalized for my toddler?
    Idk of a place, but the main reason would be, well how many toddlers do you see walking around in high quality jerseys?? They demand probably isn't very much so the companies would have no interest to market a size like that. You may be able to get one that is custom made, from the NBA website. IDK tho....

    go to any teams website and then their team store
