The easiest way to score in Basketball.

A lot of you must be asking themselves, what is the easiest way to score in Basketball? Well, some may have already recognize it, it's the layup.

When your shooting rate sucks or you can't dunk, you can always do an easy layup(mostly if you're in a steal).

So you might be asking, how to do a layup? It's really easy, you only need to run toward the rim dribbling the ball, once you get inside a circle of 5 meters(16 feet) around the panel(that distance can change from one to another, following your size and your level), you take the ball in your hands and you do two steps, at the end of the final step, you jump high taking the ball with only one hand.

At this point, there is two choices:

• The first is to take the ball with one hand and try to throw it against the board. Normally, the ball should bounce from it and fall in the basket.
• The second is to take the ball with one hand and jump high trying to drop the ball inside the basket. This one is more difficult, it need practice to be successfully performed.

In official games, the layup like the inside shots counts by 2 points. However, in some streetball games, it only counts 1 point.
