Warriors Basketball Academy and Shoot 360 technology offer slam dunk for all ages

OAKLAND, CA (KGO) — As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. In Oakland, the Warriors have converted their old practice facility into a state-of-the-art practice facility for hoopers of all ages.

“We want people to come here and really enjoy their time on the court, enjoy their time at the Academy with us,” said Ben Clarfield, senior manager of the Warriors Basketball Academy.

With Shoot 360 technology, basketball players can improve on the fly with real-time shot graphs that analyze the arc of the shot, depth, and left/right difference.

They recently upgraded their interactive video boards to show dribbling drills from videos of the current Warriors roster.

“We actually have content from real players on the list doing ball handling drills,” said Jeff Addiego, vice president of the Warriors Basketball Academy. “They can look at the screen, see Jordan Poole, see Clay Thompson imitate their ball drills and try to do it.”

Two-time NBA champion, former Warriors center and current basketball and business representative Zaza Pachulia has invested in Shoot 360 technology for facilities in his home country, Georgia.

Meanwhile, here at home, the Oakland plant continues to change the game in the Bay Area.

“We’re so lucky, we’re the only NBA team that has a center dedicated to youth basketball development,” Addiego said. “Players of all skill levels and abilities can come and have a great workout and hopefully continue to improve their skills.”
