  • How much money do basketball players make in Europe?

    I have wondered this for a while and just thought someone might know. I am a Utah State basketball fan and I see a lot of the players that play there end up going to Europe to play. Recently Jaycee Carroll went over there and is second in the league in scoring and is top runner for rookie of the year. I'm just curious if players like him make a good living over there.How much money do basketball players make in Europe?
    They make more than NBA players because there is no salary cap in Euro basketball

    Well, without knowing what the stain is, I can't guarantee anything, but Oxi Clean usually removes yellowing.



    Try washing the jersey again, but add a scoop or two of Oxi Clean in addition to your detergent.



    Hope this helps.

    How are some ways of being more confident when playing a basketball game?

    I have never played competative basketball before and I don't want to look bad the first game.How are some ways of being more confident when playing a basketball game?
    Some tips... Hmmm... It's clear the confidence comes with training and knowing yourself what you can do/ And the more you can (and even surprise yourself with), the more confidence you gain.



    That apart, being very focused on things to do bring you confidence and makes you forget that you maybe aren't confident at the moment. Playing against weaker players or teams sometimes makes the confidence up again too and can be a good remed for a lost confidence. But again training and knowing yourself you can do it better and better is probably the best way ;-)



    Hope it helps, my 2 cents. Courage
    you just need to play very agressive. Dont go out there and let everybody push you around, be very agressive. Go out there with the attitude that you are no worse than any other player on the court. GOOD LUCK!!How are some ways of being more confident when playing a basketball game?
    if you haven't played before, they'll know. but the only way to get better is to play
    just have fun.... and dont play so seriously....How are some ways of being more confident when playing a basketball game?
    when you play dont think about how not to mess up. think about what you need to do right.
    GET MAD!!!!!!!! lol jp

    just be aggresive, dnt show fear and dnt think about being nervous while playing......

    also play ur game dnt let the man ur guarding get into ur head.....

    and the #1 rule PRACTICE
    ok i played both high school and college basketball in new york the best way to to be confident is to just play the game.



    Most people will go out there and have nerves...they wont take a shot because they think the coach will take them out the game.

    the first time i played in rucker park in new york ... my coach told me to play and have fun dont worry abotu missing a shot... only two things can happen either you make it or you miss it . No one is going to kill you for missing a shot.



    But it always help to you're the best player on the court, think as if you have the most to offer. Stop your man from doing anything..make him fumble the rock, miss shots, block his shots steal the ball from him.



    Always player hard them the other team player and they will be scared of you. And when you grab a rebound yell .. I bet they will think you crazy..



    i played against ron artest brother a few year back ...damn hes nut he make ron look normal.

    How do I get into talking about sports like football or basketball? Is there a place for noobs to learn?



    I have no clue and usually most people into sports don't like talking to beginners, since they've been brought up in families that talk about it day and night since they're 1 year old.How do I get into talking about sports like football or basketball?
    you have to spend all of you spare time watching sports center and going on espn.com

    and don't forget the time spent on looking at stats for players and watching all of the games on tvHow do I get into talking about sports like football or basketball?
    I'm no sports aficionado, but I've found it helps to get into a tournament or team here and there, and do some research. For instance, I don't give a whit about football, and will never pretend to, but I find the NCAA tournament to be absolutely riveting. So go fill out your bracket (or buy your Red Sox paraphernalia, etc.)--anyone who's not a total jerk won't mock your noob status.

    What can I do to improve my basketball skills?

    Ive been playing basketball my whole life. I just made the middle school basketball team. Im ok, but not starting material. Does anyone know any drills or things that I can do to become better.What can I do to improve my basketball skills?
    Don't stop believing. Keep trying and practicing and you'll be better than the rest of your team! I wanted to improve my basketball skills as well once I got to my high school basketball team. What I did was practice everyday. My routine looked something like this:

    1. Perfect layups both right and left hand.

    2. Jog around your block bouncing your basketball and continuously switch hands.

    3. Play games with a couple of friends such as Horse, Eleven, etc.

    4. Practice shooting the ball around.

    5. Practicing boxing people out. Pretend someones in front of you and try faking your way around practicing to shoot on fast reflexes.

    6. Keep focused!!!!!!!!





    ALSO, be aggressive!!! That was one thing I was horrible at! Don't ever say sorry during a game, say it afterwords! I know that sounds harsh but it'll keep your mind focused on the game and your surroundings rather than people's feelings.
    The main thing you can do to improve is shoot free throws. This not only helps you at the line, but to get better feel with all your shots. Also, practice dribbling the ball low and quick while looking ahead at the wall. These are just two things you can do, but you'll see results in no more than a week of this.What can I do to improve my basketball skills?

    Practice, practice, and practice some more. Do drills to increase your speed and ball handling. Keep shooting until you're sinking shots left and right. Good luck this year!

    Nike Hyperdunks! Great shoe! They're like the lightest (weight) basketball shoe too, I forget if it was the lightest, or at least in the top lightest. Has good colors, lots of ankle support, comfy. I recommend them. I don't recommend the Adidas Pro Model, they look good, but (at least the ones I had) were very slippery on the court. Hope this helps. Good luck:)

    How can I practice basketball without a court or hoop?

    I need to practice layups, shooting dribbling and vertical jump. I'm on a basketball team but we only have practice 2 times a week and we always do drills never just hardcore shot training. I really need to get better at all those things. But without a hoop and court how can i do this?How can I practice basketball without a court or hoop?
    Having access to a basketball court should never keep you from practicing! Dribbling drills would be the easy answer to your question, however, there are more skill sets you can work on without having a basketball court or gym.



    for example if you want to work on shooting and you have access to a wall, you can measure a spot at 10ft and then practice shooting to hit that spot from different areas. Your goal should be to hit the same spot on the wall at the same angle each time you try.....its a lot harder than you may think!

    There are still a few things you can do sans court. It never hurts to physically condition yourself so that you'll be stronger, faster, and better when you do play ball on the courts. Improving your endurance is another idea. Dribbling can be practiced anywhere as long as you have a ball - and I doubt you made the team without owning your own ball that you play with. Simply find a good stretch of asphalt or a wooden gym floor and you can practice dribbling in many different ways. Dribbling while jogging, sprinting, with your non-dominant hand, and techniques such as crossovers, behind the back, and spin moves are all options. Shooting and layups are hard to do without a hoop, but you can practice your shooting form with a simple exercise. Lay on your back on a floor and assume the shooting form with your arms. Shoot the ball straight up, making sure that you move your arms in one fluid motion and sort of flick your wrist at the end to ensure a good follow-through.How can I practice basketball without a court or hoop?
    Since you don't have access to a hoop or court you should focus on becoming a great ball handler.



    You can practice your dribbling anywhere. Do dribbling drills for as long as you can each day.



    To increase your vertical jump, just keep practicing your jumping. Measure your vertical on the wall and practice jumping each day until you beat that mark. Then try to beat the new mark you set, and so on.

  • How do High School Basketball players get recruited to college?

    How do High School Basketball players get recruited to college?Do they play AAU and get recruited from that or they get recruited from high school?How do High School Basketball players get recruited to college?
    It depends on what level of college, I would guess that most D-1 recruits play high school basketball and AAU. High School probably gets the most attention because there is a clearly defined high school basketball season with district and state championships but going to big AAU tournaments and doing well can also help a player get recruited.How do High School Basketball players get recruited to college?
    AAU and high school are both important. You want t play as many games as possible because this increases your chances of being seen. Playing in games against other high profile players that you know are being watched and recruited is good too because recruiters will get a chance to see you play as well. Some colleges have open practices as well so you could go to those to be seen for sure. Obviously the most important thing to do is to get good!! It doesn't matter how many recruiters see you, if you suck you won't get recruited.How do High School Basketball players get recruited to college?
    Most kids who are talented enough to play in college also play AAU ball. I knew a kid in high school who was about a 3 star recruit, and he played both high school and AAU ball, and his recruiters knew about both.

    How come I feel pain all over your body after playing basketball?

    I have not play basketball in a months, so when I played, the next day I feel sick and pain all over my body. I know it has to do with lack of exercise but is there ways to prevent it? How come I feel pain all over your body after playing basketball?
    Well you depleted the oxygen in your muscles, and for two your muscles are not use to working out that hard. So what you need to do is eat food high in iron, gatorade to restore that electrolytes, and keep on working that muscle to make it use to working that hard. And have your wife ride it off.
    It's simply a combination of your muscles not being used to working so hard and lactic acid build up. Unfortunately, all you can do is ride it out and keep working out, and it will all get better. But make sure that you are eating right and are getting correct nutrients because often, when there is physical activity, your muscles get tiny tears. But if you eat properly, your body can instantly heal this, and this will also help this pain to go away. Hope this helps!How come I feel pain all over your body after playing basketball?

    How much to practice basketball on your own if you want to play college?

How much practicing should I do the rest of the school year (since I'm at school I can't practice as much) and in the summer.How much to practice basketball on your own if you want to play college?
    You really need to concentrate on your studies before your recreation. If you do not have a passing GPA you won't play college ball-ever. The main thing to remember is that of the roughly 7000 college NCAA players, only about 45 will play at the pro level each year. There is much more to life than playing ball and the odds are heavily against you going pro. STUDY to become someone that will one day own a pro team. My Dad always said to work your mind instead of your back-your mind will hold up longer.
    alot,practice everyday,don't ever take a day off,if you think you are playing bad than practice even more because failure will only give you strenght,you also have to like the game of basketball,you have to love it,it has to be a passion so you can motivate your self in practicing hard.How much to practice basketball on your own if you want to play college?

    Then run up and down hill to help your stride and speed.



    Also lifting weights and doing sit ups as well should help but don't over do it.

    What can i do to improve my basketball skills and improve my jumping?

    I have basketball try outs in 4 weeks and i need some advice and tips on improving my basketball dribbling, shooting, and defense skills and how to improve my jumping ability.What can i do to improve my basketball skills and improve my jumping?
    when it comes to dribbling i used to do crazy stuff to create muscle memory..



    ie.. i used to run in circles while constantly going around my back, and just using one hand, then switching to the other hand and going in the opposite direction.. kind of hard to explain with words.. also just walk around the court dribbling between your legs without missing a beat, and no extra dribbles.. after awhile it becomes second nature, and when placed into that situation you will just react accordingly..



    when it comes to defence just keep in mind that whoever you are guarding cannot go anywhere without his hips.. so keep his hips between you and the goal.. the second is always keep one hand down to try to pick off a cross over dribble(if he is dribbling with his right hand, then your right hand should be lower to try to steal the cross over, with your left hand higher to try and pick off the pass)



    shooting is the easiest.. practice practice practice.. i used to shoot about 100 layups in a row everytime before i went home.. 50 on each side using the proper hand.. i would also shoot about 100 freethrows, 10 at a time throughout the time i was there.. when it comes to range you don't want to create bad habits, so you want to work on that before you get tired.. find your range, then add more too it, slowly but don't try to force it..



    jumping is over rated.. if you just want to dunk, thats fine.. everyone at some point wants to dunk, but in a team sport where there are not alot of fast breaks how often will you get the chance.. i was the leading scorer on every team i ever played, and hated shooting.. if you really want to dunk its not just building strength.. let your heels hang off a step or curb and then work out like that.. push yourself up with just your toes, repeatedly ofcourse.. its the same basic concept of them dunk shoes..What can i do to improve my basketball skills and improve my jumping?
    You should have asked this during the start of your summer break. You can't improve much in 4 weeks... All you can do at this point is go in the gym get as many shots up as you can everyday and work on your conditioning.
