Basketball- How can I improve as a better play in mainly shooting. What drills, shooting drills, and training?

Hey, I am trying to get a good shot back in rhythem. I mainly have focused on my defense and what not and i want to gain up on my offensive presence. What training and drills can i do to really improve my skills. Like lately i had been eating pizza and ice cream after everyday of playing basketball with my friends and i am just not feeling the same athletically . I really want to get my gorm back. Please Help!

Well you should eat better and probably you should shoot free throws, LOTS of free throws. Thats how I improved. and if you need form you should shoot with only one hand from in close and then back up as you get better. Eventually you can work on your 3 point shooting and become a good scorer. But also do layups ALOT! Dribble the ball hard and drive fast and that will help you become a scorer like Kobe does it and Tony Parker is like a knife as well. You might want to work on other drills like spot shooting too, if you have a friend you should get him to pass the ball to you to spot shoot and then you take turns, thats what I did.
