FriendlyAppendix answered Thursday July 15 2004, 7:20 am: Make the A team or w/e is the best for ur school and keep practicing. make sure u can be an all around player incase someone might be better then u u can play a diff position. Work on ur free throws, outside shots from all angles, 1 on 1 moves, and your ability to use both hands in dribbling. Only being able to dribble with just your left or your right hand really slows you down in high school because people can gaurd you against your strong hand. Make sure to have strong defence, and keep ur agility up so you can run around a lot. Frustrate whomever you are gaurding so they dont do as well, and make sure not to get frustrated bc it can totally destroy your game. When you play 1 on 1 with friends, try playing taller people, because then you can really get your skill up. I play with my next door neighbor who is a guy, whos really good and about 7 inches taller than me, and im getting a lot better by practicing against him. When you get in hs, make sure you dont give up, its really fun, ima be a sophomore and my freshman year was fun. I play point, but there are a lot of other point guards, so i have to work hard so i can get playing time. once you get really good, senior year, get a scollership, play for your college team, and hopefully you'll get noticed by the WNBA. Good luck, and keep practicing. please rate [ FriendlyAppendix's advice column | Ask FriendlyAppendix A Question ]

XoTruebrunettExO answered Saturday July 3 2004, 6:01 pm: sign up for basketball camps that will challenge you and make you better. then go out for teams at your school, if you play all the time and go to camps and really love the game then i think you can make it!! just keep a positive attitude! :) good luck!!
Sporkster answered Saturday July 3 2004, 5:46 pm: I have the same goal only I want to be a soccer player, lol. Make it your life. Play it every chance you get. Sign up for teams in your city/town and play for your school. Chances are if you're good in highschool colleges will send you scholarships. After playing sports for colleges the NBA will check you out. It worked for Michael Jordan. He went from playing basketball as a kid to playing for Carolina then the Bulls.
