Anyone play 3x3. Have been loving it. Notice shoulders are bigger, getting the vein in the bicep from dribbling, forearms are jacked. Hoping to dunk by end of summer. Which would be a massive feat at my age.
I separated my shoulder mtbing and decided to rehab with the ball. No more arm pump biking either.
Half court, super fast, more festival, smaller ball, no suits and bs coaching.
Met so many cool people just shooting hoops.

Some hacks I have learned if anyone is interested. I was maybe hitting 30% of my shots before this.
1. Learn to dribble. Lots of drills online.
Shooting
1. Elbow above shoulder (Larry bird) or elbow above brow (curry)
2. Put your hand in the cookie jar. I find a finger in the cookie jar works better.
3. 3 90’s (Jordan) this also works for Kobe’s fader.
4. Square up shoulder length apart and kinda do a squishy squat
5. The energy starts at your heels.
6. Use the balls energy, ie, off the dribble
7. If you’re not square use your leg as a rudder. Ala Larry Bird.
8. Back has to be straight. Tits out elbows back works well.
9. Aim at the middle eyelet of the 3. Bird would aim at the back, his rebound would come back, Curry aims at the front of the rim.Couple other fun drills
1. Nash same foot same hand floater.
2. Euro Step
3. Floater. Elbow above brow.
4. Iverson Cross over.It has been awesome following basic mechanics and seeing the results.
- some kid going into grade 7 comes out with his dad. He started doing elbow above brow and shooting better than me now.rootlock
