For Lob Finishing you’re going to stand at the free throw line and throw the ball off the center of the backboard to start. Once you throw it run towards the hoop, catch the ball in the air and finish. An example of how you could do this is 10 finishes on the right then 10 on the left. After that you’re going to lob it off of either side of the backboard and finish on that side of the backboard again for an example 10 times each. Where it gets difficult and where you’re really going to improve on your ability to spin the ball off the backboard is after you’ve done the first two and you’re comfortable with that you’re going to finish on the opposite side you lobbed the ball to. For example if I lobbed the ball to the left side of the hoop I’m going to catch it in mid air and extend my right hand out to spin the ball off the glass. Make sure for this last one that you’re still catching the ball on the left side and finishing right and vice versa.
