How can I ask?

Hello
If someone's friend plays basketball so well and he wants to ask his friend the reason or tips, what can I ask? Does the following sentence make sense?

# 1 How do you play basketball well?
Or
#2 Why do you play basketball well?

Would you give me some advice?
Thank you.

I'd say something like: "Do you have any tips/advice to help me be a better basketball player?"

#1 can work, but it doesn't sound right for AmE, at least.

Hi guys,

If you want to stay close to the sample sentences, you might say

How do you play basketball so well? or

How can I play basketball as well as you?

Best wishes, Clive
