Recently I found few online basketball shooting games, which are fun and direct your intuitive skills in the right direction. I listed them at the bottom of this post.

*

As basketball coach, I advice you to start shooting some hoops with Street Basketball, because it provides most smooth feel for the momentum. Timing is most important element in the basketball and this shooting routine develops the timing feel very well. The game has natural progressive levels.

*

Read my short directions and enjoy the shooting bliss:

*

The game is here. Wait for Ad 15-20 sec. to expire till LET'S GO shows up, press it and you will be standing at Position 1 in front of the hoop. Game allows to choose 3 Positions for shooting: 1 2 3 ( it is reflected in symbols on the left ):

*

Position 1 is the hardest one, so change it to 3 (closier to the basket) and start with a Position 3 - yellow symbol in current picture.

*

Shooting Control is simple: press left click of the mouse on the player to shoot. The challenge is TIMING: find the exact moment for the mouse click.

When you do it and can make 10 out of 10 shots, move further from the basket, i.e., to Position 2 and explore it again.

*

The same goes to Position 1, which is beyond NBA 3-point line :)
The whole activity is pretty close to real thing in a way of adjusting your senses! Dynamic music should inspire you to come back for more! Have fun !

Now press the link and have fun :)

Enjoy!
