Ive mastered every shot in basketball but not to pro ability......the only shot i cant hit for nothing is and off hand up and under reverse lay up....like gliding under the hoop one side to the other and reversing it off the backboard.....kobe style...im working on it though
I can tell a bunch of you never touched a bball in your life. Seriously, if anyone answered anything but fadeaway is a idiot. You are going further away from the rim + you need crazy body control. I can practice runners and hookshots for an hour and never get tired. Practice fadeaways and I'm flabbynsick after 5 mins
Floaters and baby hooks are pretty easy for me.
Out of the ones used normally, I would have to say the hardest shot for me is coming off a screen and fading to my right on a shot. Fading left is pretty easy cuz youre automatically square to the basket to shoot, but right gets tricky.
Skyhook is easily the hardest, though it is very rarely attempted. I hit one in the lane the other day and was shocked that it went in pure. Had no idea what I was doing.

nikkaz think the fade away is the toughest shot?
I guess everything is subjective, different strokes for different folks, but I've always found the fade away to be one of the easiest shots.
I even go to it when I'm starting to feel fatigue.
I don't know, maybe I just have a knack for that shyt
But in all my years of obsessing over B Ball, this is the hardest shot to master IMO:
That's not really the best example of what I'm talking about because Westbrook wasn't really going full speed/having to stop on a dime.
He mostly jogged into that one.
I remember when my uncle used to make me do the "pull up from mid range" drill and it would have me
He'd make me shoot a lay up at the opposite end of the court, grab the board, and sprint full speed all the way to the other end/ stop on a dime for the 15 ft J
The amount of body control and touch you need in order to execute that shot
When he told me I could go back to working on my fade away
I'd be relieved as fukk
