Ray Allen, no doubt, is one of the best shooter in the NBA. I stumble on this video, actually created about three years ago, showcasing Ray Allen, who is giving some valuable tips on how to jump shoot and increase your in-game jump shooting consistency.

He offer basics tips, including the importance of using the “follow through” after you release the ball at the top of your jump. He also offer some practice tips to hone your jump shooting skills and increase your consistency from the court – “Minus 1, Plus 2″, off-screen shooting, and more.

My best pick is Ray’s “Minus 1, Plus 2″ shooting drill. The drill is aimed to help you in increasing your shooting accuracy and consistency in mid-range shooting. Here’s how:

You can run around the outer part of the key or slide from left-to-right side or vice versa of the free throw line. You shoot everytime you reach the corner. Each time you make your shot, +1 point for you; each time you miss, -2 points for you. If you reach -10, you’re out.

Please watch this useful video. Thanks for the tips, Ray!
