Have you ever thought about becoming a basketball player? You should definitely consider it! It is my favorite sport ever and I could probably play it all day if I had the chance. In basketball, you need to know these five main skills: Shooting, Rebounds, Defensive slide, Dribbling, and travels/double dribbling/fouling. It’s really not that hard when you actually put some work in and try your best.

A bank shot it when you shoot the ball and it hits the backboard. Once it hits the backboard, it will bounce off and land right in the basket. This kind of shot is tricky to learn, but once you have it down, it is very useful to use in games and
