Basketball...Would you be nice enough to give me some pointers?

maybe you're concentrating too hard. just go out there and play for a little while by yourself. shoot the ball around then go fetch it and dribble around for a little and take another shot. Maybe practice some moves while you're dribbling the ball too. maybe some crossovers, between the legs around the back, etc. start off slow with them though. get it to where you can run at a decent speed while maintaining control of your dribble.
