Kobe Bryant and the physics of basketball. While the precise physics are not relevant to playing the game, an understanding of concepts like kinetic and potential energy can provide insight into dribbling and shooting motions. Muscle memory and practice are more important than calculations, but physics principles still underlie techniques from passing to footwork. Traction between shoes and the court also influences a player's ability to stop, turn, and maintain control. Ultimately, while basketball involves physics, it is not practical to overanalyze mechanics during play. Skill comes through repetition, not equations.

2. intro
Kobe Bryant ！ Black mamba
physics in basketball is fairly irrelevant. Instead the physics
in basketball is simply interesting to people who really try
to break down the art of shooting, passing, and dribbling.
What I mean is that the “physics” in basketball is a product
of a person’s memory. A person has a kinesthetic memory
in how they remember how they shot from where and
with a certain amount of velocity. This is achieved by hours
of practice and playing. Basketball then becomes more of
a series of reflexives behaviors and playing on instinct.

3. shot
For jump shot, there is little horizontal
movement because the jump shot deals more
with vertical movement. The ball itself is
pushed off of his or her fingertips and the
force and angle is applied upon release.and
there is the ball's angle and the spin on the
ball involved
Stephen curry

4. Dribbling
Obviously, dribbling the ball can be concerned with the
potential and kinetic energy the ball has. The ball is held the ball
has potential energy. Upon its release to the floor, the potential
energy converts to kinetic energy. “As the ball hit’s the floor
the kinetic energy is stored as elastic potential energy. Because
of this elastic energy the ball and the floor dent” (Flores). If you
dribbling a ball with more force, the ball will bounce more
highly and quickly. Of course, being a good ball player you need
to find the balance at different circumstance, which will take a
lot of time.
Kyrie Irving

5. Miscellaneous Information
Of course there are other miscellaneous pieces of basketball related to physics
too. For example, the shoes must have good traction. Good traction means
that the coefficient of friction between the shoe and the floor must be high.
Also, a player uses static friction when planting their foot. This static friction
allows a player to stop and turn without sliding across the floor because the
static friction is greater than the sliding friction (Willis).

7. Conclusion
The physics used in basketball can be very educational
and fun. However, it is not very practical as some other
applications of physics. It is not very practical for a
person to stop and calculate the angle, velocity, and
position from which they shoot in order to consistently
make a shot. LOL I surely won’t do that .
As much as the physics of basketball seems
unimportant and ludicrous to calculate the principles
are in fact very present and very valuable to a player
without them even knowing they are doing physics.
