It is, in essence, the original Beautiful Game. While the design is wonderful DNA, the guts of the system is work ethic. Like anything else, nothing worth working for is acquired without blood, sweat and tears, and not necessarily in this order.

Daily Drills
No practice? No game? Work on your game for at least 30 minutes.
200-shot drill takes 25 minutes as long as you move quickly rather than walking after your missed shots. (Nobody walks on a basketball court during a game anyway. Do everything at GAME SPEED.)
• Layups: 10x right hand, 10x left hand (full speed!)
• Jab step pull-up bank shots (near the block): 10x right wing, 10x left wing
• Jab step pull-up jumpers on the elbow: 10x right wing, 10x left wing
• Jab step drive floaters below the free-throw line: 10x right wing, 10x left wing. Note: Not runners. Floaters mean you keep two feet on the ground, one-handed teardrop, re: Tony Parker on YouTube.
• Jab step drive to baseline, spin move, bank shot: 10x right wing, 10x left wing
• Repeat the jab step drills, except with PUMP FAKES INSTEAD of jabs.
Do all this and that's 200 shots.
Now we move on to 3-pointers. If you have no one to pass you the ball, pass it to yourself by spinning the ball in front of you. Be quick with your release, but do not rush. A rushed 3-pointer means 1) a lesser percentage of accuracy and, 2) your shot will be blocked instead of reading the defender and faking.
• Left corner: 10x
• Left wing: 10x
• Top of key: 10x
• Right wing: 10x
• Right corner: 10x
Repeat one more round (minimum), more if you want it enough.
Other basic shots to work on: reverse layups, pull-up 3-pointers, pump-fake 3-pointers with side-step move.
Now your total is 300 shots.
Finish with a minimum of 50 free throws. Keep track with sets of 10 so you can remember how many you made.
If you still have time and energy, ballhandling drills, everything with your eyes up.
At home: 100 pushups - sets of 10 during TV commercials. 100 crunches - sets of 20 or 25. Or more.
The possibilities are endless. It's all up to you.
