shooting bank shots in game requires tremendous touch, i think people really underestimate that aspect of it. imo they're way harder to shoot off the dribble and with a guy closing out hard on you it's hard to keep focus on the exact touch that you need, it just goes against instincts at times
bank is good from around the pinch, but the farther you go, and the more straight-away your shot is, the harder it gets to use it over the conventional swish.

Well, that's one way to do it....
Who Has the Best Bank Shot in the NBA?

i did a similar project to this. When i first started off with ball, i loved using the bank, with the angles and trajectory for it. I used it alot, and pretty much GOATed every man with the shot. Its pretty beta tho. Thats like some beta duncan sheet.

It really does not matter how efficient your bank shot is, it's still probably not as likely to go in as aiming for the back iron.

Do you have anything to back that up? I'm not saying you're wrong, but from specific places on the floor I'd have to disagree
Was always taught to shoot bankers in those sorts of areas tbh.
I love the bank shot when I have that angle. I have absolutely no idea why it's viewed as not cool to shoot it off the backboard. To me it's a skill.

It came across as you are fat, a nerd and suck at actually playing basketball:facepalm Why da fk would you aim for the back iron? Your brain does all the calculation, you don't need to aim for anything and definitely not at the back iron.
You have been reported. Better not feed the trolls any more though.
Cool read. Thanks for that!
Interesting to note, though, that they used "simmed" shots. I found that pretty funny. Not even a real representation.
As for the usage of banks, I'm pretty notorious for calling them out before I even release the ball. Hell, I"ll call bank as I'm catching the PASS. I'm certainly not automatic, but in my heyday, people learned to respect my shot.
I've always enjoyed having a bank shot in my back pocket... can alter the angle of the shot ever-so-slightly to avoid being blocked (if/when necessary)... bang! Love it.
After you get used to shooting it is better to do it one way. If you learned to shoot on a non plexiglass backboard you will not trust a plexiglass backboard because it is a bit livelier. Duncan started playing late and had access to a gym from the beginning. Embiid and Hakeem are the same way. They tend not to put much arch or spin (or rotation) on their shots as bank shots are sensitive to those matters. Just as a guy dribbling on non wood surface finds that he's not as nimble on a wood surface. The mind is always adjusting to surfaces on the subconscious level which is different than shorting a bank shot in Billiards.
The simpler the better with your shot. I see the opportunity I shoot. Within ten feet and there being a lot of movement, the bank shot actually cancels out the velocity of moving bodies by providing a definite target that can be hit and absorb the speed. Arch and rotation mean more to a shooter right around the ten foot mark. Rose and Tony Parker are among the few that use floaters and a lot of English on the ball. Takes a lot of confidence to do those shots. Wilt and Duncan use the backboard from high release points.which might provide an advantage that I cant speak on. Less of an arch perhaps.
