    Million Dollar Shot - Scottie Flippen

    Million Dollar Shot: Shoot Like The Pros

    By,

    Scottie Flippen

    This book is dedicated to you the player that is always trying to get better

    The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not Charles Barkley

    This eBook is the result of many years of hard work myself as a basketball player. When I was growing up, my main skills were dribbling (Pistol Pete was my idol), passing and driving to the hoop. If you were to compare me to other kids the same age when I was growing up, I would say that I was better than 99.99999% of players in those three categories. I was obsessed with dribbling and ball handling. I loved doing dribbling drills. I also loved the reaction from the crowd when I broke someone’s ankle or made a move that they hadn’t seen before. I was also a pretty good rebounder and defender. All around I must say that I was pretty good in my younger years. My game did however have one major flaw: my outside shot. You can be the best all-around player in the whole world, but if there is something wrong with your shooting, you will never live up to your potential as a basketball player.

    Ironically, somehow I wasn’t that bad of a free throw shooter and won many free throw tournaments that I was in when I was younger. I even made it all the way to the state finals in my age group. So somehow my free throw shooting was good but my outside shot was not. The funny thing is that my lack of a great outside shot did not stop me from chucking up shots! I would shoot brick after brick from the perimeter and somehow it didn’t get me down or stop me from shooting again. If the ball ended up in my hands and I was open, it was probably best for everyone else to prepare for a rebound. It used to drive some of my youth coaches nuts. The problem was, that I was such a good scorer otherwise, that they really couldn’t say anything about me chucking up outside shots.

    This lasted for a couple years growing up until I got until the 8th grade. It was during the summer in between 8th grade and starting high school and I was away at basketball camp. The camp was a famous one in the state as it was hosted by two Celtics players, one of whom was a 3 time NBA champion. The camp was great and the staff was even better. Most of the coaching staff either played Division 1 college ball, had played in the NBA or was playing professionally in Europe. One of my coaches was someone who was currently playing in the very competitive Spanish Pro League. He was about 28 years old and had been playing in the pros in Spain for over 5 years. He pulled me aside when I was just 14 years old and changed everything for me a shooter. He knew I was an overall talented kid, but I just couldn’t seem to get my jump shot to match my other great abilities. He explained the correct way to shoot (which we will definitely get in to) from top to bottom. At first I was hesitant and it was a difficult thing to alter my shot from the way I had been shooting for 6 or 7 years. I used to think that my shot the wrong way was better than taking the long road and learning how to shoot the correct way. Boy I was wrong.

    He explained to me what it took to be as good of a shooter as he was. He was by far one of the best shooters that I have ever seen. Learning from him was learning from one of the greatest shooters around at any level of basketball. His level of understanding of what makes a great shot and a great shooter was levels deeper than what I knew at 14 years old. He reassured me that if I listened and applied what I was being taught that summer that I could DRASTICALLY improve my shooting. In fact, he said, if I work on my shooting correctly and hard enough, that shooting could actually be my best skill. Let me tell you, I definitely didn’t believe that. But to make a long story short, he was right and I was wrong.

    When I got back to school that fall, my shot had improved a lot but I still needed sometime to perfect it for the upcoming season that started in November. By November however, I had improved so much from the previous season. My teammates and friends just couldn’t believe how much of a better shooter I had become. Every summer when I was growing up, I was always improving my game. However, most of the skills that I was improving, I was already pretty good at. I went from being a great passer to an amazing passer. I went from being an amazing ball-handler to the best ball-handler around. My positive skills were improving, but my weaknesses never got any
