When would a basketball player attempt a half court shot?

Answer 1

not really that high but I'm saying maybe 1 out of every 10 shot's (did this at the court) so like 10%.

Accuracy of probability increases with the number of attempts. Assuming 10% to be a good estimate then: The probability of making the shot on the first try is .1 or 10%. For 2 completions in a row the probability drops to: .1 x .1 or .01 or 1% (You will miss 99% of attempts). For 3 in a row the probability drops to: .1 x .1 x .1 or .001 (You will miss 99.9% of your attempts. Like anything else, the more you train the better adapted you become.

Answer 2

It depends on your skill and coordination. The diameter of a Basketball hoop is 18 inches and the diameter of a basketball is 9 inches, so if you're a good shot, you hae a good shot at making it.

Answer 3

you have to be patient and build your strength up so you can get the shot in and you have to practice before you ever do it in a game. You only do a half court shot when it is appropriate like if your 2 points down and there is 2 seconds to go or if your get thrashed by the other team and you want to have some fun and just shoot it at the buzzer

Answer 4

If you are strong enough, shoot the same way you would for a three point shot. If not, try jumping off one leg (with your knee ending up in front of you, facing towards the basket) and launching the ball the same way.

Answer 5

A basketball player typically attempts a half court shot towards the end of a quarter, when a player only has a few moments to either take or shot or let the clock run down to the end. Often a player cannot travel more than half the distance up the court, so must take a shot from half court because the clock is running down, and play will stop.
