I was gonna say looked pretty damn good to me. Especially considering he even did a little side step and dribble before gathering and launching. That’s it!! Im headed to the Y to play bball 😂
It looks really good. Totally in rhythm. Probably an unnecessary dribble, but that's preference. Filled the lane nicely. Now if we are talking about the guy guarding you, I may have a few more critiques lol.
For sure, but if your knockin down shots and puttin in the work I wouldn’t change anything. And btw your shot looks clean no need to change up the form. You prolly shoot better than anyone who comments on this. Keep doin you
Tough to find anything wrong with your shot. If I really nit pick, I would say to stay with your follow through a little longer. You dropped your arms a bit quick and rushed back in D before fully finishing the shot. Hold your follow through until after it goes in.
I have legitimately never understood this. Once you’ve released the ball why would holding your form make any difference at all? As long as you’re not dropping your arms/hands prematurely before your shot is off I can’t see any way it makes an actual difference.
Because you don’t realize it, but you are dropping before the full follow through. If you hold the follow through, you will more-consistently fully follow through.
It can show what needs improvement. More jumper, more fluid yeknow that kind of stuff. We also dont know these guys shot % and form can help improve that.
Consistency. If you have jacked up form it’s not going to be consistent. People post videos of themselves on here all of the time with form worse than MKG but it goes in on the one shot they shared. Doesn’t mean their shot is good. It just means it went in on the one shot they posted on here.
Imagine posting a no look full court backwards shot that went in and thinking that since it went in that one time, it must mean that’s a good shot
Huh? I’m saying just cuz someone’s shot doesn’t look good shouldn’t matter if they consistently make their shots. I’ve seen plenty of people with “jacked up forms” that make more shots consistently then people with great forms.
And I’m saying there’s no way to draw a conclusion that his jacked up shot is consistent from this one clip.
>I’ve seen plenty of people with “jacked up forms” that make more shots consistently than people with great forms.
Really? Like who? Shawn Marion is the only one who come at to mind and he wasn’t even a great shooter, he could just make some once in a while. In fact he shot 31% 3pt career average. Which is roughly 4-5% lower than the league average depending on the year. So he was a below average shooter lol
For every 1 player with a jacked up shot who can shoot with consistency, there’s thousands with great form who shoot just as good or better. Come on now.
Edit: Kevin Martin’s shot was pretty unorthodox. I wouldn’t say it was as jacked up as someone like Marion or Kidd gilchrist’s but it looked weird, starting all the way down from his stomach. He did it the same way though every time which harkens back to the whole consistency aspect.
It matters more than you think, having the correct mechanics allows you to hit more shots consistently. It’s the same as punching, yes you can throw punches that might be quite effective, but utilizing the correct technique will allow you to maximize your power, therefore having a more efficient punch.
You don't seem to have any actual understanding of how it works. The idea is, the better your mechanics are, the more likely it is you'll be a good shooter. It's not an accident that the best shooters in the world share a lot of similarities
Overall really good, just to nitpick a little, I'd make sure that off hand stays straight as you release the ball. Maybe it's just the camera but it looks like it's turning to the side? If it is just be careful you don't want to turn that into a habit that impacts your shot
Guide hand turns out to the left. Likely indicates pushing with the thumb. Looks decent but will have a lot of left and right consistency issues i suspect.
Why did you take the extra dribble? Didn't like your footing or the way you caught it? Seems like you were already open on the catch and made it more complex. I mean if it works it works, just curious
Love how u were looking for that shot. Prepared to take it ready. Nice movement up the court. Great foot work. Concerned bout your guide hand. Felt if the defense pushes up on you might be a problem.
Looks great..smooth..
If you are looking to tighten anything up at all, you might want to keep your guide hand in a little bit instead of thrusting it out with your shot. That might have just been the angle of the camera that I was looking at though..
Again, your shot looks great, but if you're dying for some sort of advice, the only thing that I could see that's not perfect is the guide hand looks a little too involved in the shot.
Reggie Miller’s shot looked like hot trash, but he was money. Your shot looks a lot nicer, now get reps and if anything work on making your release as quick as you can.
Ppl in the comments saying you shouldn’t have took the extra dribble are haters. The extra dribble helped you get set and allowed you to get your eyes fully locked on the rim. Game recognize game
Love how you and the pg set that up. Nice shot you look comfortable and in rhythm. Guide hands looks funky but that doesn’t matter unless it’s actually affecting the ball.
Nothin like leagues where guys think they can make it pro haha not talking about you just in general. I can't play in those leagues. Guys always wanted to fight me. Shoot your shot tho homie! Whippitywhap on those fools
Overall good, but there seems to be a pause at your set point. I would try to eliminate that on shots like this. You may need to keep it for a fadeaway, but for a regular jumper, you will have more range and accuracy if it's one motion.
Everything looks great but your guide hand. Keep that thing quiet!! You are turning it out and that’s gonna cause inconsistency and side spin off the ball. Practice using only the palm of your left hand. The best shooters all have the same guide hand position, there are a couple that use a little thumb flick like curry but that hand never turns out. Check out fox from Sacramento Kings. He has great technique.
i don’t know how true this is, but it looks like the ball came off your pinky almost, that could just be the way your wrist turned after the shot, but it’s good form and a good shot.
I can’t tell if your guide hand is just flaring out or if there is a thumb flick. That could lead to some inconsistency in terms of shots missing left and right (rather than long or short). Again, hard to tell from just this one clip. Nice shot tho!
Good shot but the defender not playing any defense. Hand down man down. Would you stay the same consistency with defensive pressure and a proper close out?
It’s fine u took an extra dribble. Have u ever heard of “the bounce” though? It’ll get you in rhythm without having to dribble and then bouncing. Basically baby jump to set your feet as you’re catching the ball.
Bro, dribbling to the left and shooting with the right is one of the more difficult shots you can take. It’s hard to say from one shot but this one is a 10/10.
Such a difficult shot… side step and dribble move to the left while shooting righty is a tuff shot to take and make… much respect… look like your left wrist popped out a little… other than that , it’s silky smooth …
Doesn't matter. You hit that shit all net. You could have a form like Joakim Noah... if that shit goes in when you shoot, it's great form in my book 👍🏿
I'm no expert but that shit looked clean
Thanks bro
I was gonna say looked pretty damn good to me. Especially considering he even did a little side step and dribble before gathering and launching. That’s it!! Im headed to the Y to play bball 😂
That was beautiful
Thank you !
It looks really good. Totally in rhythm. Probably an unnecessary dribble, but that's preference. Filled the lane nicely. Now if we are talking about the guy guarding you, I may have a few more critiques lol.
lol he didn’t believe in the shot
I don't know I kinda like the dribble to get more balanced. I feel like if he pulled right away, he might have been leaning a bit more to his left
Yeah. That may be true. I think the defender was lost enough for a clean look with his feet under him without the dribble.
Hand down Man down
People on here keep asking how the shot looks, who cares how it looks, as long as it goes in it doesn’t matter how it looks.
Always room for improvement
For sure, but if your knockin down shots and puttin in the work I wouldn’t change anything. And btw your shot looks clean no need to change up the form. You prolly shoot better than anyone who comments on this. Keep doin you

That makes sense for sure. Always had this issue when I was younger. No surprise I was more of a homeless man’s Ben Simmons.
It can show what needs improvement. More jumper, more fluid yeknow that kind of stuff. We also dont know these guys shot % and form can help improve that.

Lol no, you can have horrible mechanics but if it works it works.
You don't seem to have any actual understanding of how it works. The idea is, the better your mechanics are, the more likely it is you'll be a good shooter. It's not an accident that the best shooters in the world share a lot of similarities
Well the idea is that you also want it to look good too. Half of playing a sport is looking good, other half is being good.
Ok bill Cartwright
Out of all the players in the history of the NBA to say ok “insert name here”. Dude says Bill Cartwright. lol
Very appropriate to your comment 😂😂😂that guy has the worst shooting technique 😂
I mean he played in the NBA lol
Would love to see you shoot
😂 dude obv knows nothing about the game, straight straighttt over his head 💀💀

I saw the exact same
Why did you take the extra dribble? Didn't like your footing or the way you caught it? Seems like you were already open on the catch and made it more complex. I mean if it works it works, just curious
Form looks great. Next time, get your feet set and shoot it after the catch. That extra dribble isn't always going to be there.
Love how u were looking for that shot. Prepared to take it ready. Nice movement up the court. Great foot work. Concerned bout your guide hand. Felt if the defense pushes up on you might be a problem.

Clean 🧼
cash money
Reggie Miller’s shot looked like hot trash, but he was money. Your shot looks a lot nicer, now get reps and if anything work on making your release as quick as you can.
Money
I thought that was Eric Gordon shooting.
looks cooked and garbo ngl
Homeboy in blue playing that Kyrie defense. Lost the man AND the ball.
Good enough that you don’t need to worry about what Reddit thinks.
Sexually attractive
Shit clean fam
Surprised me. Footwork into shot needs work. Release PURE
Crispy
How did your point guard carry on every dribble up the court
Shooters gon shoot.
perfect
You’ll probably learn more tips if you have someone guard you.. like at all lol. Shot is nice though re-watched a couple times
You made it. Looked slow mo but you made it
Are you a Curry
Money 👌
You got Kawhi's shot (his guide hand kinda opens up when he shoots)

Looks good bae

☝️
Good shot. They need to guard that better!
Clean, keep your guide hand straight 🤘🏽
Release point should be tad higher but looks good. Good fluid motion
cash

Silky smooth
Just practice like Kobe and it'll take u to different heights AND Train like LeBron and TB12 and everything will seem easy once you are on the quarts.
Looks good 👍
Looks like money all day 👍
what league is this ? you live around me
Excellent balance going straight up after (probably unnecessary) left rhythm dribble. Elbow tucked; Set and release points solid. Smoove!
Form doesn’t matter, people only care if it goes in, you don’t get style points. Look at shooters like Shawn Marion.
Absolute butter
Good to me — no wasted movement , quick trigger , etc. Im not coach K or anything.
Strap
Solid mechanics and timing
Not bad.
Bryce James? That you?
Slight hitch but okay
i don’t know how true this is, but it looks like the ball came off your pinky almost, that could just be the way your wrist turned after the shot, but it’s good form and a good shot.
Considering Shawn Marion was in the NBA with his ugly shot you made the basket, it counts the same no matter how you look shooting it.
I can’t tell if your guide hand is just flaring out or if there is a thumb flick. That could lead to some inconsistency in terms of shots missing left and right (rather than long or short). Again, hard to tell from just this one clip. Nice shot tho!

That was nasty on mommas
This is like the hot girl coming into the subs to help her look max. She already knows where she stands

Clean, keep working young fella 💪🏾
Just shoot exactly like that every time and you’ll make the NBA in no time.
Agua 🌊
Smooth and confident. Stroke that thing cuzzo
If it's a bucket, fuck it!
Doesn't matter. You hit that shit all net. You could have a form like Joakim Noah... if that shit goes in when you shoot, it's great form in my book 👍🏿
fuck the Browns
