View Full Version : Prettiest Shots in the NBA
Off the top of my head:
Kobe
Ray Allen
Melo
Dirk (off balance body but his shooting form is awesome)
I also really like Mario Chalmers' form but not sure if others agree.

Marion.
But for real, no one shot the ball as smoothly as Wesley Person!
You guys got the ones I was thinking of. So I'll say Ben Gordon.

Melo has the prettiest shot in the NBA. Not only does he got great form, his stroke(ask Lala) is wet. Usually all net and not flukey lookin like Lebricks

Dirk has the prettiest shot. So long and fluid. And the swishes.

It's awesome when Dirk swishes it so cleanly the net
barely moves.

Chalmers is a surprisingly good 3 point shooter. I rarely remember him missing an open 3. Too bad he sucks as a PG.
James Jones' shot is interesting. He gets really nice English on his shots:

If Chalmers was givn more of a chance by the heat he'd be solid IMO.

If he practices his passing and dribbling skills more, then he would earn that chance.
I have memories of Chalmers getting the ball stolen from him as a result of somebody pressuring him as he brought the ball upcourt. Another memory was when LeBron leaked out for a fast break and Chalmers just passed/shot the ball over 4 feet above his head out of bounds :facepalm
Still, no denying he's a good-great shooter who can hit big shots. Remember when LeBron threw that perfect bullet pass to him in the opposite corner in Game 4(?)'s final minute? Swished it and tied the game. Shame they gave up an easy bucket right after since Bosh got blown by Nowitzki (I think) and lost the game.

Fisher's rainbow shots.
Kobe's shots are flat and ugly.

as ridiculously tall yao is and look stupid holding an orange tennis ball, he still has a very solid shooting form.

Off the top of my head:
Kobe
Ray Allen
Melo
Dirk
That's exactly how my list would look like.
LMFAO at kobes & dirks shot....... extremly unorthodox and ugly..... Wade & Lebrons and many others shots look prettier....
RAY ALLEN............. thats the correct answer... with a big gap...

Both Wade and Lebron have fundamentally terrible looking shots, especially Lebron's.

And yes, Ray Allen has the prettiest shot in the game.

I know he is not a pure shooter but my personal favorite shot to watch is Tracy McGrady's shot.

people really think LeBron's form looks better than Kobes? :roll:

both are not textbook beautiful as RAY ALLEN...
i dont consider anybody having a pretty jumpshot in the NBA... only RAY ALLEN....
kobe compared to Ray Allen shoots the ball from the side and slower.... his legs and body are more to the left side facing the rim.... and he is always awkwardly always leaning and kicking his leg out...
lebrons compared to Ray Allen shoots the ball more stiff and slower with a higher follow thru...
I know he is not a pure shooter but my personal favorite shot to watch is Tracy McGrady's shot.

I think Fishers make the best sound going through the net with the arc he puts on his shots.
Shame he doesn't make any anymore but.

LeBron yes, but Wade? C'mon now...
As for me, I'm actually a big fan of OJ Mayo's jumper.

Korver's shot is amazing. I always think it's going in...and yet it never does. I don't think I've ever seen him hit more than 1-2 shots in a game.
