    From the looks of the video, your pretty young. Aspiring to play in the NBA is a big dream, and it is very hard to do. I just wanna say that no matter what people tell you, never give up.

    As for the shot, I cant really give you an honest answer to your direct question. Everyone has a different type of shot. Its whatever works for them. Take a look at Shawn Marion's shot. Its unorthadox, but it works for him. Ray Allen's form works for him - extremely well. This doesnt mean it will work for you.

    While watching the video I also noticed that you double clutched the ball a lot in order to set yourself for a shot. This seems like a good indication that this shot form is not for you.

    My honest advice: just shoot for a while, and dont think about a particular form. Shoot until something clicks. Once your comfortable with a particular form, tweak it. And when I say tweak it I mean exactly that. Dont try to mimic a professional baller's shot. Of course they make it look like its the best shot form, they are in fact professionals.

    Do what works for you, and improve it to make it yours. Hey, you never know. Maybe someday some kid like you is going to try and mimic your shot.

    No it's not very good... You have to bring your elbow in more... But always work hard and don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough (Haha it's sappy talk but make sure of that)
