As an Old Retired Bird, My Hobby is trying to learn how to click a camera shutter.

I really like #1. A bit tighter crop and level up the floor. I use the baseboards or a line on the wall for reference. One of the hardest things shooting basketball, beside poor light conditions, is keeping a level "horizon". Easily fixed in post. But a great start!

As was said above, fix the horizon in post (very easy in Lightroom). Two things needed for a good sports action shot: a face and a ball. To faces are sometimes even better. Keep shooting, you have potential! Best of luck.

Hi Tom:
I really like the first shot. As stated before straighten the shot. Maybe even try cropping to vertical to see if you like the difference. Exposure is right on, focus very good in the download. What were your settings? Probably not wide open because the other player is somewhat in focus. Cj2 always tells me shoot wide open for sports to create a nice background that we don't care about. (In sports photography). Let the action come to you, fill the frame in the camera and don't crop or sharpen much. Cuts down on the noise. Face and ball that's what's important.
Really nailed the first shot.

I like these also. I am shooting BB at the present too. BB fun to shoot, but challenging. I am having focus problems!! Yours look great!
