This is a great basketball shooting drill that players can practice on their own.  Perfect for young players who want to work on their game in their driveway or at the playground.

Preparation
• Player stands under the basket with the ball

Execution
• Player tosses the ball with backspin toward the right corner within his shooting range
• Player sprints in front of the ball so that when it bounces he is facing the basket.  Simulate receiving a pass from the wing or top of the key
• Player catches the ball and shoots.  Made shots count for one point.  Missed shots count for minus two points.
• If a player reaches five points, he “beats Michael Jordan”.  If he reaches minus five points, he “loses to Michael Jordan”
