Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.
-George Herbert
Where have all the shooters gone? Shooting is quickly becoming lost in the midst of today’s growing number of super-athletic players. The ESPN and And1 culture is breeding a new player that is more focused on making a highlight than studying fundamentals. We are in the day and age where one of the top players in the NBA, LeBron James, was pointed out by a NBA Hall of Famer for having poor fundamentals. Where have all the shooters gone?
The answer to that question lies within anyone who picks up a basketball. It is true that basketball is a sport predominately reliant on athleticism, but shooting is a skill that can be learned by anyone. With hard work and repetition, players from any athletic range and skill level can learn to be an effective shooter.
