To properly shoot a basketball, one should focus on balance by keeping their feet shoulder-width apart and bending their knees while facing the basket. They should also keep their eyes on the target on the basket, cock their elbow at a 90 degree angle while resting the ball on their fingers, and follow through by straightening their elbow and wrist to release the ball.
