3-3

A good drill to help you with your shooting.

Start out at the free throw line. Shoot the ball, whether you make it or miss it, let it bounce 3 times then shoot from that spot 3 times. For every time you miss, you must do 1 suicide.

Shoot until you miss

The whole point of this drill is to beat yourself. First shoot jumpers from anywhere. Keep on shooting until you miss. Then count how many you made straight. Now this is what you will try to beat. Just keep doing it until you want to stop or until you beat your own number.
