It makes the shot more accurate so youll have a more polished shot, and when it is a little of-target it might roll back in cus of the spin.

What is the best kind of a spin to use when shooting in basketball?

Don't focus too much on the spin. The best type of spin to use is back spin, which most players use, but the spin is not the most important part of the shot. Some players have little spin on the ball but are great shooters, with Ray Allen being an example. i wouldn't focus much on the spin but more of an emphasis on following through and your formation. i find its all in the fling of the wrist that puts the ideal spin when shooting the ball and i don't think its necessary to put any unnatural spin unless its part of your dribbling technique.
