All the trainings will tend to be boring for the players at times, but it is essential in the long run for their professional basketball careers.
Layup
It is considered the most basic shot in basketball. When doing a layup, the player lifts the foot away from the basket. Usually, a unguarded layup is a high percentage shot.
However, practice is essential in order to make sure the shot is 100% made into the basket when unguarded. It is a fundamental of basketball.
Slam Dunk
It is a type of shot performed when a player jumps in the air with the ball and powers it downward through the basket with one or both hands over the rim.
In the past, it was called as "Dunk Shot". Slam dunks are also performed as entertainment outside of the game, especially during slam dunk contests in the basketball leagues.
Finger Roll
The finger roll is a type of layup shot where the ball is rolled off from the tips of the player's fingers to the basket, nothing but net.The rotation produced provides the ball with a soft touch, and the ball will roll around the rim and then drop into the basket.
The advantage of this layup is the ball can go high in the air over a defender, with the spin applied by rolling over the fingers will carry the ball to the basket off the backboard.
The disadvantage of this layup is that it is difficult to master and this shot is one-handed, thus, it is harder to protect the ball while executing.

It is one of the basic basketball fundamentals that is very important to a player.
The dribbling rule allows a player to move around with the ball and thus more opportunities for scoring.
It also provides opportunities for the opposing team to steal the ball in mid-bounce.

Dribbling should be done with finger pads and the fingers should be relaxed and spread. The wrist should be pushing the ball, and the forearm should be moving up and down with flexibility.

Shooting
In order to make the shot, your shooting form, posture and the confidence must all be in sync together to make it happen.
If you develop an accurate shot, it will force your defender to play you tight and thus he or she will become vulnerable to fake, allowing you to drive pass him or her to make an open shot.
If your shooting accuracy is not well developed, then your defender can play back in anticipation to your fake.
Furthermore, when you do not have the ball, your defender may not be guarding you tight and will help to double team your teammate who has a better shooting form.
To be a successful professional basketball player, you must master your outside shooting accuracy.
