I play both streetball and NBA. They call me "Hot Sauce" and "Iverson". You could guess why! Cuz I'm really good in handles and dribbling. I could many moves and ****.
But people keep on accusing me for my week shoots and I can hardly score! Every year I hear "I could see that you've improved in everything except for shooting" and this pisses me off!
What could I do to make my shots better?

Shooting with one hand is excellent advice. The biggest shooting flaw out there is two-handed shooting.
Another important thing to remember is LIFT AND FREEZE.
Lift means to get your elbow over your eyebrow in your follow through. Freeze is to hold your follow through up that high and hold it there until the ball hits the basket.

I was like the opposite of you. I was good at shooting and sucked at everything else.
It's hard for me to give you advice because I had my own program. I use to start out shooting 1 foot from the basket. I got in the right position bent my knees and didn't even shoot for a full minute I just visualized the ball going in.... all net no rim. Than I'd shoot 50 shots from 1 foot away. Than I'd step out to 3 feet and shoot another 50 shots. All the time I'm working on my form, visualizing the ball going in. Trying to shoot the perfect shot so it barely moves the net.
Than I'd go to 5 feet, than 10 feet. than I'd shoot about 300 free throws. Than I'd shoot about 100-200 mid range shots from all over the court. Than my favorite I'd start shooting 3's. I'd take 100 shots and count how many I could make out of 100. I'd do this 3 to 4 times. This would take about 2 hours.
It's more complicated than that, but that's a few simple things you can do. As always get some help have a coach look over your form and listen to what they say to do, than work on those changes.
Good Luck!

practice the follow through,make sure your shooting hand points to the rim. also try shooting at hoops where the a regulation size basketball can barely fit. it helps with the accuracy. i did this when i was younger,and now normal size hoops are as big as the ocean for me.

Practice shootinh with one hand. This might sound odd but this is how you'll figure out the form you need.

shoot 200 shots every day and you will become more consistent
