How do i get better at basketball?

DEFENSE! Idont know what position you'll be playing but with every position, you have to know defense and defense is nothing more that strength, speed, footwork, and communication. If you can become a lockdown defender like scottie pippen, or Denise rodman, you can be very usEful on the court. If you want to Learn how to be a lockdown defender, you need to learn how to put your body on someone and not allow them to move, without fouling. You need to HArass them with every step they take if you learn a good defense then offense should be a big factor in your gameplan ..... Remember offense wins games, DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!

jeez your tall, i wood just run dribblin, then walk with a dribble between legs until you can do it runnin, then til u can do it in a game. footwork i wood practice fakin like takin a step then movin away alon till you got it fast. for shootin u shood start playin around the world with yourself(you take shots around the free throw line and the 3 point line) pass the ball with someone or just pass it to an object. do jump squats and sprints u shuud get betr eventually

first figure out what postion u want to play it may help depending on skills i just started liking basketball like a year or so ago then in 8th grade i joined b ball i sucked cause i just started just go somewhere and pratice shootin try finding hot spots and take tons of shots up till your confidince is up then try other shots so u get better

Play a lot and practice a lot.
