DOES BASKETBALL IMPROVE HAND-EYE COORDINATION? – FINAL PROJECT 

For my final project i decided to pick “does basketball improve hand-eye coordination?” I chose this topic because i have personal experience with basketball like what i have talked about in my previous posts.

I also chose this topic because i feel like some people think you should only look at the ball when you dribble but the reality is that you should be looking up for passes or even shots instead of looking down. Another thing is that looking down can also get the ball stolen because you don’t know where the defender is.

The goal of this project is to inform everyone to always practice your hand-eye coordination in basketball because it is very important and can even help you win a basketball game! Throughout me researching this topic i learned that basketball is not just defence or offence it’s both.

Finally, i hope you have learned something while reading my final post, and thank you for reading my final project!!!

Hi i am Ethan,

I am researching about the topic basketball history, basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world, back then there were NBA stars like Wilt Chamberlain, Micheal Jordan Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryrant , and Lebron James. Back then the Chicago Bulls was also the best team with Scotty Pippen and Micheal Jordan, and if we look at the very back there was sky hooks which was a type of shot that was like a 90 degree circle and basically hope it would go in because really at that time they had basically no skill and no 3 point line. Also, that was the time where Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in one game, which was very hard to do because that was like you being the only star player, and everyone passing to you. Also, back then there was no shot clock so they could be running around the court the whole game without a single shot, and they would use their right hand a lot, but now we have a 24 second shot clock and we use both hands with advanced moves. We also shoot with an actual form, and not hoping it would go in.

This video talks about how he broke Ray Allens 3 point record and hit the number 2974 three pointers hit in his life, and how his father was there watching him break the record, and his father was a NBA player too back then.

Look at the very top for pictures!!!

It is true that Stephen Curry broke the 3 point record.
