How to Throw a Basketball

from How Things Work · host Kira Seggerty

Basketball is an extremely famous sport that is played all over the world, and in light of march madness, I figured why not do a segment on shooting. As anyone who has played a pick up game with friends, taken a few shots with their family, or may even played a bit in highschool, college, and beyond, everyone knows your form matters. But today I want to discuss more than just the form but the mechanics and the science that lie underneath the process of shooting. https://sites.psu.edu/siowfa15/2015/09/13/the-science-behind-shooting-a-basketball/
