How to Throw an Alley-Oop Pass in Basketball
- 1). Find somebody who has the vertical leap to dunk easily. Or find a basket that allows you to adjust the height of the rim.
- 2). Decide you're going to throw the alley-oop before you get to the three-point arch.
- 3). Make eye contact with your partner who has the hops.
- 4). Toss the ball toward the basket with a shot-like motion - soft and with an arch - when your teammate is two or three steps away from jumping.
- 5). Aim for a spot barely above the rim, and to the side that your teammate is approaching from.
- 6). Watch as your teammate chocks up an assist for you with a thundering dunk.
