Tim and the Art of Basketball Maintenance

(An Inquiry Into Shooting 3s) A 62-year-old (edit: now 63, edit; now 64,; edit now 65) who never made a team working on his 3-pointer. Can practice overcome the debilitating effects of aging?
Constructive criticism is welcome, particularly if infused with some humor. I have no basketball pedigree, so I'm not easily offended and do want to improve.

Actually practiced twice in 3 days, this is May 26th and 53/100 practicing the Kyrie shot
Sets of 10: 3, 6, 5, 5, 4, 6, 8, 3 (had to take a 10 minute break to find some storage room on my phone), 6, 8.

From a very uninspiring 50/100 day

Conditions were ideal; not sure why I didn't do well. Probably diminishing skills.
Edit and reedit: From a 53/100 day practicing the Kyrie Game 7 shot

start on the left side of the court; pick up a screen from JR at about mid-court (because I must be covered by an imaginary Steph Curry rather than an imaginary Klay Thompson to account for my 6 foot release point); Inside-out dribble right leg; inside-out dribble left leg, back through the left leg, pound dribble and skip/hop to the right, shoot, score. Cleveland, this one's for you! th-cam.co...
An 8/10 set. Theory: indoor shooting is easier primarily because of tactility with a leather ball
มุมมอง 126วันที่ผ่านมา
as opposed to a slicker, harder outdoor ball. I think the wind outside can make a 2-5% difference, but my indoor-to-outdoor delta has been higher, and the wind has been relatively mild 14 sets of 10 today: 3, 6, 8, 7, 7, 6, 5, 7, 7, 5, 8, 6, 5, 8, 62% overall
An indoor day to boost my confidence; 61/100 (88/140 counting 40 extra shots)

Didn't shoot my age but at least I joined the 60 over 60 club for a day
51/100 and 63/120. Back bothering me with every 'lift'; 3,7,3,6,4,5,6.7,6,4. 6 & 6 on extra 20

And the wind was in my eyes! Every shot was uncomfortable and the hoop looked a mile away. I was actually helped out by at least 4 shots in the early going that took big bounces off the rim before bouncing in. Which is a lot of lucky makes in 100 shots
8/10, choking away the last two here
มุมมอง 11821 วันที่ผ่านมา
The first 8 weren't exactly perfectly on target, so I suppose 'ball don't lie' on the last two. Don''t know if it is apparent in the video, but I tried to shoot with a wider base today. Felt a little weird. I also had a heck of a time doing the twice-between-the-legs-behind-the-back dribble sequence on the far court today. Haven't done any dribbling drills in a while.
72/130 or 54% for the day. 7 in a row here, but I wasn't very clutch at all (5/7/24)
มุมมอง 10021 วันที่ผ่านมา
Makes for each set of 10 as follows: 0 (yikes!), 6, 5, 6, 5 (22 out of 50) 5, 7, 7, 8, 5 (54/100) some bonus shots: 6, 6, 7. I'm tempted to take some warm-up shots (which I never do) because it seems I always start so slowly/poorly, but anyone coming in off the bench (and I suspect I'd be a benchwarmer in any league) has to come in and hit shots immediately. So at least for now, they all count
Slogged my way through 150 shots before I finally exceeded 50% for the day with this set
มุมมอง 15728 วันที่ผ่านมา
First 5 sets: 1, 5, 7, 5, 3 (21/50) After the one set of 7, I made 5 of the next 7, then missed my last 3, and a slump set in Next 5 sets: 4, 4, 6, 6, 6 (a disappointing 47/100 at this point so I had to keep shooting Overtime sets: 5, 7, 5, 6, 9 (32/50, for a combined 79/150 or 52%.) After 140 shots I realized I was at exactly 50%, but disappointed at missing my 140th shot, I had to keep going,...
Missed the last 2 of 10 here, so I practiced my video editing to give you my first 8 shots

If only I could remove those 2 from my permanent record
Struggling to reach 50% today
มุมมอง 14128 วันที่ผ่านมา
Started slow and hit a mid-game slump, so I had to go to quintuple overtime (i.e., 50 extra shots) to finish above 50%
Basketball gods smiled on me here: 9/10 could have been/should have been 6/10

1 of a few decent sets (of10) on a 59/110 day: 3, 4 (slow start per usual)5, 9, 5, 7, 5, 6, 4, 4, 7

Hadn't touched a basketball in three and a half weeks due to illness, family travel, AM work meetings across town, etc. Really need to practice more
3.5 week layoff. 59/110 (53.6%) but rusty
มุมมอง 166หลายเดือนก่อน
Need to work on stamina, conditioning, core and leg strength, footwork, dribbling, form and release; other than that, who knows? Might not be on track to make the G League any time soon
With Caitlin Clark coming to town I wanted to do my part to show Cleveland as a 3 point town

Unfortunately, a slow start and a sore back, I never really got into the flow to attempt a logo three. My pace was too slow, but I did get up 14 sets of 10 shots with makes of: 2, 6, 7, 6, 4, 6, 6, 6, 8, 7, 8, 6, 7, 6. So I think I was 85/140, which at least is a shade over 60%
8/10 but a temporary reversion to my half-court version of basketball maintenance

very good rate 👍
nice shoots
very good accuracy 🔥
Gracias!
nice
Thanks
over 50% nice!
My next day out was 50% even. I think I'm in a little bit of a slump
Keep it up!
I will! Gracias
Keep going! Nice dribbling! :) 👍

finishing 9/10 is really impressive!!

When you're getting your own rebounds it interrupts your flow so this is really good
yup really impressive!
Lol thanks. It helps make this routine a little more legitimate in terms of "exercise." Also, it incentivizes making your shots, as it wastes a lot of energy to chase down those missed shots that careen into the far corner and off the court!
Getting rebounds pisses me off
This is remarkable. Great job!
You saw the reddit post too eh? 😄
@@NSXtacy- yup haha
Nice but do you have any mid range?
No time to practice that given low payoff, but consider high school 3 line is practically mid range.
@@timandtheartofbasketballma7221 low payoff? So you only shoot 3’s in games?
Nice work !
Hell yeah man. You’re living the dream.
great shooting! glad to see you back
Keep Grinding man.
I'm trying. Thanks!
great 5/5 finish!
Good stuff

One of Cleveland's finest (Kyrie) is already playing alongside Luka. You might be next, Great shots Unc.
There's a new "Kyrie shot" too. His left-handed, 18 foot runner/hook is too hard to practice though
Can always count on you to inspire us to be great, Great shots Unc.
I appreciate that!
your title is awesome
brotha ur jumper is wet! hold that follow through to make it look pretty on camera :D
Literally, at least; now if you mean more than that, thanks!
basketball philosophy?
well there's a philosophy to anything that anyone can have
Yes! I tell myself, if each shot were just a ball traveling randomly through the air, the misses might be expected; but since each shot has a purpose (human or divine) , they SHOULD go in.
7/10!
bro gave a rating 🤣
he made 7/10 lol@@bluebible1199
love the 5 in a row to finish it off!
had to make up for the 2 misses in a row when the squad car threw me off my game. Still haven’t resolved that Florida parking ticket.
this video is why we won last night, great work
I’ll need to get out even more during playoffs, especially if we face Knicks
Dean must've been watching some of your videos during warmup. Great shots Unc, keep it up!
Thanks. But I watched the highlights and was feeling a little lazy if I didn’t get out
yeah she really is impressive to watch. keep it up though! I think 8/10 with gloves and in the cold weather better than 99% of us can do
Thanks Pat. The grip with the gloves isn’t perfect but they do keep your hands warm; and as long as it isn’t so cold that the ball won’t bounce, I’m good. I’ve done this in 28 degree weather before, but that was during COVID when I was avoiding public indoor places. Now, I think 35 and over with little wind or rain, I’m comfortable doing this outside
Haha yes great to see the editing
great for outdoors! and good to see the follower count slowly getting higher
Shot looking like Money! Keep it up Unc.
No pickleball for me; still playing a young person’s sport
10/10! keep it up
Great shots Unc, don't let the success blind you though. There is always room to improve.
True, intend to work on a couple things in months ahead. (1) degree of difficulty in 3 point shots, i.e., distance and more lateral movement in step-back/aside;(2) all kinds of dribbling, ball-handling drills.
Thanks, my man! Keep shooting--the form's looking great!
Another month of practice and you’ll break through the 60% and occasional 10/10 barriers.
Woah 71! Nice
Thanks. I believe that ties my all time record -- probably set a year before COVIC. I miscounted on of my sets, where I was actually 8/11, not 8/10, so I was 71/101. Still happy to be able to hit the "70% club" in 2024
70 club is very impressive! keep it up@@timandtheartofbasketballma7221
nice finish!
Good job man, glad you still play the game.
Respect for him just being out there man hes like 60 something but still out there playing like hes 20
for sure!
For real mad respect for that dude.
Nice!
Still got it, Slimmer!
yes definitely looking good for at least 50% for the next few years
nice comeback after a slow start!
89 subscribers! almost to the big 100
good way to end on 7/10!
Welcome back Unc, Shot is still cash
looking good! 87 subscribers and counting!
Thank you. Since I take 100 shots each time, I'm "shooting" for 100 subscribers soon
