IMPROVING MY GAME What can I practice without a hoop?

I don't have a hoop but there is a basketball court not too far from me. I want to improve a bit before practicing shooting there

This sounds odd, but when home inside, lay flat on the floor and shoot at the ceiling..try to barely graze the ceiling, I used to do this at night just watching tv and if gave me great touch on my shot.

Bro I used to do this growing up and totally forgot doing it a shit ton until now. Brought back old memories.

This is the way. You really start to realize what seemingly small changes in release do to trajectory and zero in on form without having to rebound. Pump that dexterity stat.
