Being able to position your feet correctly is a crucial part to the perfect shot. Many players believe that positioning your feet diagonally is correct. However, this is a less effective way to place the feet. One player chronically places his feet diagonally is Kobe Bryant. He’s a great player, but it's my personal opinion is that he could be an even better shooter if he placed his feet differently. The accurate way is place your 10 ten toes all facing the basket with the feet shoulder width apart. Another important part is to place your dominant foot slightly in front of your other foot. That means if you’re a lefty the dominant foot will be your left, and if you’re a righty it would be your right. This is essential, because you need to have a direct influence from that foot all the way up to your shooting side elbow. You want to be able to take the power in that dominant foot and explode it through your knees, hips, and shoulder to your shot. One person who does this very well is Ray Allen. Watch his feet toward the end of the video.
