What does your shot look like?

[LevisJeans]

Do you shoot like Gannon Baker? (If you don't know how he shoots, watch the first few seconds of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMKt5e8tqJQ&feature=PlayList&p=242F45F99EFB6CA5&index=25\) clip.)

Do you shoot like Ray Allen? (shoot with all 5 fingers)
http://blog.masslive.com/parquetpride/2008/05/medium_Ray-Allen.jpg

Like Kobe?

Like Derek Fisher?
http://blogs.pe.com/prosports/Derek%20Fisher.jpg

Like Nowitzki?
http://www.nancarrow-webdesk.com/warehouse/storage2/2008-w16/img.199783_t.jpg

Or are you a one eyed shooter, like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDVXmaEXWOI&feature=related)?

EDIT: Also, do you hold your form until the ball hits the rim, or do you put your hands down right after you release?

[daboy31]

My jump-shot is like a mix Between Dirk's and Kobe's, except my release is kind of choppy.:ohwell:

[JG000]

I'm a lefty and I think the closest comparison to my form is Chris Mullin...

[Maniak]

Its a cross between Kobe and Dirk

[phoenix18]

Mine is kinda like an AI/Kobe/Jesus Shuttlesworth/Redick/MJ mixture.

[Splitz77]

People say i shoot like Ray a little bit..

[Splitz77]

Mine is kinda like an AI/Kobe/Jesus Shuttlesworth/Redick/MJ mixture.

You must be amazing.

[phoenix18]

You must be amazing.
No, I am terrible. I ll shoot eight different ways each time.:oldlol:

[LevisJeans]

I try my best to shoot like Kobe, but at the end of the game I have trouble getting the ball off of my index finger.

[djsmkb8]

I try to keep my index finger behind the ball when I raise it up. Then on my release, I think about having my index finger pointed right at the middle of the rim.

[Splitz77]

No, I am terrible. I ll shoot eight different ways each time.:oldlol:


:oldlol: :oldlol: :roll: :oldlol: :oldlol: :roll: :oldlol: :oldlol:

[iamgine]

I shoot like Sasha Vujacic

[The Big Skinny]

Dirk Nowitzki with a quicker release.

Btw speaking of ganon baker....he has amazing dribbling skills...but that shot looks funny :oldlol:

[Go Getter]

http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/politics/blog/water.jpg

[NY-Knicks]

my fade-away and pull-up jumpers are pretty much identical to Kobe's. I just studied em over and over and over again.

i am a lefty and i basically shoot like Rip Hamilton,i guess.

[NotYetGreat]

Some people have said it looks like Ray, but I think it looks more like Iggy. Iggy's shot is damn nice, although I don't hold it up as high as he does.

[JG000]

Btw speaking of ganon baker....he has amazing dribbling skills...but that shot looks funny :oldlol:

agreed

for someone as dedicated to the game as he is, his jumper is a little funky

he actually has nicer form when he shoots with his left

(he's an ambidextrous shooter)

[JG000]

holy crap, my jumpshot is kinda like obama's

lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-3ROv_MsNs

[supersmashbros]

My release point is above my head which is very strange IMO. Also, I almost always take jump-shots. If I don't do a jump shot, I'll almost certainly miss.

I'm almost the opposite. I'm like Larry Bird, my feet barely get off the ground when I shoot.

[1manfastbreak]

my shot is comparable to eva mendez..beautiful

[babybear]

Dirk Nowitzki with a quicker release.

Btw speaking of ganon baker....he has amazing dribbling skills...but that shot looks funny :oldlol:

The release is so low... looks blockable.

[GiveItToBurrito]

Sort of a cross between Arenas and TMac. I have a bad habit of kind of kicking out my right leg a bit when I shoot, and I occasionally use a kind of line drive delivery if I'm tired.

[tedloc]

if my feet are set my shot looks like steve nash's free throw shot.

if i'm jumping then it kinda looks like pierce...
shoulders always squared up even when i'm twisting.

[ILballa]

I agree.

[Mighty]

I think it's most like Kobe's.. Never knew this till now, I don't watch Kobe play that much haha.

[Shoo]

I'm a cross between Shawn Marion (weird release and follow-thru) with Tayshaun Prince (shoots with one foot forward).

[Automajic23]

Ewww I hate Marions shot, if it goes in though I guess it doesn't matter.

IDK whos shot mine looks like. I know it's ugly though. My friends/team mates don't say anything because it goes in though, but I always hear it from the other teams. Kinda benefits me because they leave me open then when I drop 3-4 in a row they panic.

I elevate a lot on anything within 10 ft usually because it's in traffic or on someone. On an open look @ the elbow or beyond the arc I don't elevate so much. I guess my shot looks like boozers? I hate his form too

[Zak]

not gonna compare it to an nba player, but i got a medium speed release high arching sorta 'textbook' shot.

[Automajic23]

By text book, do you mean ball in front of the shoulder of your shooting arm (to the side of your head), elbow pointed straight. Follow through coming primarily from the thumb, index and middle finger? I think that's as text book as it gets. I try to follow those, but for some reason I feel my form is not so :hammerhead:

[KJones]

[supersmashbros]

Same except my release point is way above the top of my head and I usually jump about a foot for my jump shots. It takes me at least second to shoot a successful three-pointer (from getting the ball off my dribble to actually releasing it). I am not a very fast shooter.

[Brujesino]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu5PWuOddGU

me shooting around

you tell me how my shot looks

[NY-Knicks]

my fade-away and pull-up jumpers are pretty much identical to Kobe's. I just studied em over and over and over again.

i was wrong, i do not shoot like rip.
my jumper looks like James Harden, both left-handed and not a lot of elevation in the jumpshot.

[NY-Knicks]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu5PWuOddGU

me shooting around

I dont know a NBA player who shoots like you, you hold the ball in front of your head. And your release is kind of weird, sloppy. *no offense* Your feet are pointed outside once your start shooting the ball. Pause it at 00:30 and you'll see.

Your elbow is also pointed to the outside, which means that your jumper isnt consistent. This is hard to explain, but I will try. If you start the shot, your (right because you are right handed) must be touching your hip. This is called the shot-pocked.
This way you make sure the shot is going to be the same over and over again. If you dont do this, your elbow will be in weird positions once you shoot, this leads to inconsistency.

Thank God, I found a video. WATCH IT - IT WILL HELP YOU A LOT - WATCH BOTH OF EM.

Just wondering...is anyone here proficient in shooting with both hands? That's really advantageous I suppose.

[NY-Knicks]

Just wondering...is anyone here proficient in shooting with both hands? That's really advantageous I suppose.

I dont say I can shoot equally well with either hand, but i am able to hit catch and shoot midrange jumpers with my right hand. Off the dribble is tougher. An advantage is that i am a good finisher with either hand and my right handed hook shot is butter.

I am a lefty.

lets just say if my left hand was slightly injured i would be able to still be effective on the court. but not as much, obviously.

But being able to shoot 3's with either hand would be awesome :applause:

I know he's a highly regarded shooter, but I don't like his release

[NY-Knicks]

true, he doesnt have perfect form himself. He also doesnt elevate on jumpshots.

But I still think this is a great video, and he knows a lot about shooting. It's his confidence that stands out.

I learned a lot from watching it for the first time.

.

then this will be a huge problem with me i walk with my feet pointed out :lol

its just natural to me after 22 years its gonna be hard for me to correct that problem

[NY-Knicks]

I do not see that you shoot with two hands.
And the feet is tough to adjust, i know.

i had problems with my shot. in the beginning i placed my guide hand on the front part of the ball, which was basically blocking the shot, it limited my range. once i adapted i shot just like you, the elbow wasnt consistent, i now shot the ball from the right side of my face (weird i know), which made it tough to really aim for the hoop.

Now I do not do any of those things. My feet sometimes have to be adjusted too.

Your problem is that you are sloppy, and you are inconsistent. I hope for you that this can change even after 22 years :oldlol:

Poor man's Nash

lol

[rosonviyavong]

What bothers me is my shot is awlays changing trying to find that perfect one but rightnow the shot I have is working pretty okay with me but it's not your prototypical shot. I shoot it from the other side of my body on a pretty quick release than when it gets to my chest and shoulder I do the textbook release. I kinda feel like Iverson type of shot when shooting it but I don't know.

[keBin]

im gonna try and make a video one day .. but does it really look like steve nash's form ? i get kapono and turkoglu from friends lol

Gawrsh, I have the same exact problem. My form is constantly changing due to comfortability and functionality. It's as if one day, it works, and then the next day, it doesn't.

[NY-Knicks]

use the same form every single time. This creates consistency, which is the most important thing as a shooter. You need to be consistent, that is not possible if you shoot different every single day.

I can't shoot equally with both hands but my left handed lay-ups are almost as good as with my right and I can shoot free throws with my left hand.

:banana:

[L3B120N J4M35]

i shoot like ray and that one-eyed shot.

[Rake2204]

I have used David Wesley and Randy Foye's jumpshots in NBA 2k9 to mimic my own. I have a wide stance courtesy of a strong Sean Elliott influence.

[Spec5ial5k5]

im lefthanded i start with the ball low like ray allen then when i bring it up its a little like rajon rondo cause i bring to the side a lil. I used to shoot like michael redd it was ugly as sh*t then i started video tapin myself shootin.

video tape urself u probally think u shoot like A.I but most likely u dont i used to think i shot like D-wade but really it was more like Michael Redd and his shot is ugly. I had the same problem i changed my shot everyday for a whole year and i finaly got it right

Really? Thats coool haha wahts your shot rightnow did you change it again? Mines still the same but the last time I recorded myself shooting I had a different shot and it looked like Paul Pierce shot ..

Anyways I was wodnering does anyone have any tips on how too get a set shot? From about three point range? Should I just keep working out wrist and arms? And I want too improve my left hand I mean I can do left handed layups but I want to do like left handed finger rolls and left handed runners is there anything you guys did too improve your left hand even better??

My shot now i only look at it every once in a while to make sure the forms the same. Ive heards its like a lefty ray allen or a manu ginobli with lift. To get good form u can stick with on ur jumpshot what i did was break it down into three parts. The first part practice ur jumping motion leaving the ball down where u would catch it at and leave ur arms still (This makes sure ur legs are providing the lift and ur arms arent effected). Then practice bringin the ball up to where u would shoot it at faster and faster. These drills u can do with a medicine ball if u have one. Then practice shooting with just ur arms and with ur feet planted work ur way as far back as ur form will allow u. Then u can shoot where ur comfortable in ur regular jumpshot and once ur knocking down shoots there keep moving back as far as u can keeping ur form. Right now i can shoot threes just off my arms and i can shoot 28 footers and 3s feel effortless. And on ur left hand theres nothing really specific u can do just keep working on it

Thanks for the medicinec ball tip it really helped I was draining threes like there was no tomorrow last night
LOL DECK.. Yeah medicine ball helps ur range for about the first couple gamess.. then its all u after.

I would compare my shot to barghniani or dirk, thats what I hear the mostt from other people

NO YOU SHOOOT LIKE BIG Z AND GORTAT!! ..But you play like Bargnani and Dirk:oldlol:

[TheAnchorman]

Fisher but way more to the center... kind of like Manu Ginobili.

[LevisJeans]

I just realized that my shot is an exact copy of Rafer Alston.

[Kobe8]

No Doubt about it , Mine Looks Like Larry Bird and Morgan Freeman. :lol: :lol

If I Lower my right arm and tilt it a little bit to the right , it would look like Candace Parker.

Since I'm not Comfortable with those Shot Forms , I'm Tryin to get Ray Allen , he got some nice strokes up in those 3's. I Wanna Get the Ray Allen Buzzer Beater For my Championship Game. He's the Best Clutch Shooter No Doubt.

I Practice his shot form up in those Short Goals where you dunk on it and ****.
I got 3/4 Of His Shot Form Already.

I Would Have 4 Rings If I nailed it 3.2 Sec Left on the Clock.

I change my shoot to whatever I am feeling on that day. Yeah, shooting isn't one of my best skills.
