Come on, come on. Come on.

Always be ready to shoot when you catch the ball. Come on, come on.

Everyone wants to be a great shooter.

It's really important to use your legs when you shoot.

What's not important is how high you jump, as long as you release the ball near or at the top of your jump.

In my league, guys are so quick. The higher I jump, the better the chance they have to recover and block my shot.

I always try to release it quicker rather than jump higher.

This gives me a chance to get my shot off against good opponents.

See the Canadian team as I mentioned, they've really thrived at the defensive end of the court.

That's been their glue in this tournament and when you defend

you get scoring opportunities. Steve Nash...

When you're pulling up for a jump shot, always plant your inside foot.

Which one's your inside foot? It's always the closest foot to the basket.

Not only does this foot allow you to gather your balance and rhythm, but it also cuts the defender off and protects him from your jump shot.

When I pull up my jump shot, I always plant my inside foot square to the basket and get my rhythm. Like that.

I love shooting off the dribble.

It’s a great way to score but it's very important to catch the ball in your range.

If I catch the ball in my range, the defender has to honor my jump shot.

Now I can attack his lead foot and step past him. From here I can keep going to the basket or I can pull up and shoot a jump shot.

If the defender recovers, I can step back and still get off a jump shot.

Free-throws are a huge part of the game of basketball. How do you become a great free-throw shooter? Simple. Practice.

It’s really important to be a great free-throw shooter for your team.

So many games in my career that we've lost and if we'd only made our free throws, we would have won.

I always step up to the line with confidence.

I put my right foot forward, bend my knees; my feet are shoulder-width apart.

I square myself in the basket. I dribble three times to collect myself. I take a deep breath and I think of the ball going through the hoop.

High release. To make sure the shot goes up softly so if I don't go straight in,

it has a great chance to bounce around the rim and use its touch to go in the basket.

Nobody makes every shot, so never get mad if you miss a shot. Just try to be consistent

to shoot the exact same way every time.

How do you do this? Give the ball a chance.

Use your proper technique but have a high arc and a backspin so if the ball goes up in the air,

it has a chance to bounce in if it doesn't go straight in.

Defense is hard work.

And man-to-man full court pressure is one of the toughest things to do in the game.

What's important in full court pressure? You want to try to force your opponent to use their offhand.

Get them change directions and play a speed they're not comfortable playing it.

How do you do that?

By staying low, having a wide base, your back straight and your eyes up.

When your opponent takes off the dribble, you want to try to slide and beat him into the spot and make them change direction.

As Leo changes his direction, I want to open my body up and turn and slide and try to beat him in the next position.

Till he picks up his dribble.

Now what happens if I get beaten?

If Leo is too quick for me and beats me off the dribble,

I’ll have to turn and run.
