What is the correct way to shoot a basketball?

Let's get this straight- there is no correct way to shoot a Basketball. There are wrong ways to shoot basketball (e.g. with one hand, using both hands all the way, etc.), but no right or correct ways. Everyone starts out shooting their own way, and this way usually is correct. If you continue to shoot that way and the shot works for you, and works for you means that you don't get blocked often, stolen from, and don't take longer than 1.5 seconds to shoot, than you should be fine with your shooting form.

First, make sure your right foot is slightly ahead of your left (or vice-versa.) Next, make sure you are holding the ball with your shooting hand right behind it and your other hand on the side making somewhat of a T shape. Make sure you use your legs!!! After a while of practice it will become natural. That's when muscle memory kicks in!! GOOD LUCK!!
