Chris Paul is one of the best mid range players of all-time. Yet, he stands at just six foot! Check out what tactics he uses to get shots off whenever he wants, and how you can apply them to your game.

Dude..... how do you know EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for.... from the defense breakdown to the injury breakdown..... making the most unique and in depth basketball videos on youtube
His patience and IQ will allow him to be a high level PG for 3-5 more years... that is if is body permits. Cp’s career has been plagued with injuries. People forget how athletic he used to be. Hopefully he stays healthy this year and gets the best out of melo and the other new additions. They can absolutely compete with GS this year, just not sure how they could pull off winning 4 in a 7 game series. If they find a way to do it though, the attention to detail video would be amazing lmao
They would have won this year if cp3 didnt get injured so its really not that hard to imagine them winning this year if no injuries occur. Cousins is the wild card
VaoDxArchAngel even if Cousins fits in with the warriors I could still see them having trouble stopping HOU in the 2nd Q. Cp usually subbed out early in the 1st so he can run with the second unit and kill teams’ backups. This year they’ll likely start the quarter with: CP, Gordon, Green, Melo, Chriss. That’s a crazy problem for any teams backups
Cole Ransom he is 6ft too. It’s difficult to be so short and be able to stay in the league that long. He is also a top player too so it’s amazing how hard he works. Look at Westbrook he best Paul in height quickness and athleticism but Paul still plays well against these top athletes who are as good as him But taller.
3:00 is brilliant - he basically made two defenders block each other out. He using his movements to put opposing players, not just his defender, into positions that allow him a clean shot 👌
I remember Isiah Thomas saying that the reason why he was able to be such a threat in scoring was his willingness to pass the ball. CP's such a great passer that people forget how good he is as well when he decides to score
Remember that time the referees felt bad CP3 can never win a playoff series so they called a non-existent foul on Tim Duncan so Chris could finally be a winner? Sadly that's been the highlight of a massively underwhelming career (or massively overhyped slightly-above-average player)
Power to one direction. If the defender close that direction, spin to the other side. Make sure the destinations both are viable to get your shots off. Footwork and pivot. Youcan always add some pivot moves even after u stopped dribbling. Try hook shots. Shoot a jumper when ur open and have some space. Prevent your shot to be blocked by jumping towards the shot blocker to neutralize him. The skill kinda needs to be worked tho still. Also u gotta be good around the glass since u will have it harder to get a shot off
You kinda touched upon it, but cp3’s shot mechanics are a bit different from others. His release point is a bit higher and directly above his head, rather than lower, and in front of his head, like say damian lillard or kyrie or steph. This does make it harder to block against an up-close opponent, but if you are not fairly strong in your upper body and arms, it’s much tougher to shoot quickly and accurately from longer ranges with this type of motion; derozan and livingston also shoot from an above-my-head release, but tend to have line-drive arcs, and struggle with 3 pt range, for instance. I honestly believe cp3 is really strong in his upper body and arms compared to his rival point guards, which is why he can shoot like this and still be very efficient; notice how even though the ball is brought above his head, he still shoots with a very good arc; that to me is a huge sign that he must be putting a lot of upper-body strength into his shot motion. If you have a naturally skinny body, it might be better to learn how to shoot faster, and develop a quicker transition from a live dribble to your shot motion, rather than try to mimic cp3’s shot mechanics; you can of course, try to copy everything else he does.
@@Ben2bwild so did I. Nash isnt a smart defender. Cp3 is. So I think cp3 is an all around smarter ball player than nash since his IQ extends to both ends. Simple.
Kyrie, Chris Paul , Steph many short players use the technique of drawing body contact first while jumping and use the air time to finish the underbasket shot. Good technique if we practice it.
These are awesome man! Wish I would’ve found them sooner🔥 It’s crazy because all the talk about the nba is focused on drama, there’s not a show out there that goes in depth into the x’a and o’s of basketball like this
I never realized how much of Kobe's game CP3 uses until you break his game down scoring wise. That sweeping to the right shot motion is copied exactly from Kobe, beautiful
I'm not a basketball player I'm just an enthusiast but one thing I know is the game is all about space. On offense do what you can to create space, defense you take away space. The smartest offensive players master creating space, the beat defenders master how to take away space....both do it without fouling
Some players can’t even hit catch and shoot, some others have difficulties off the dribble, fade away, etc. You’ve got to master before you are able to hit “tweaked” jumpers consistently.
It appears very efficient since he starts without being knees much or holding ball especially low. He's just standing there with the ball one second and jumping the next. You can't tell when he's going to shoot.
OH HELL NAW im a CP3 fan but not At top 100 player of all time maybe harden Could be durant and lebron for sure lebron is in top 15 Thooooooo.... Of Course lebron fighting for the G.O.A.T. against michael jordan kobe ksrl malone kareem abdul jabar Magiv johnson Tim duncan
The sweep is so he doesn’t bring the ball up in the middle or across his face this avoids strips and allows him to get shots off over close D, also it makes the shot consistent as he’s getting the ball to where her always shoots it with little to no movement
During his New Orleans Hornets... Sheeeeesh forget about it! He was burning every defender in front of him.and if you double teamed him. That Tyson Chandler / David West combo was just filthy.
If you were able to notice all these techniques by yourself through watching him play then you're one the best basketball analysts. If you did some research and gathered info on this then i need you to do my essay for a quick A+ please lol
Maybe a breakdown of Kyle Lowry's game? He's similar in height to CP but is not as deceptive (or perhaps I'm wrong). Would be cool to see what makes his successful in the league. He's certainly one of the better PGs in the league.
He rarely get blocked because he's very strong, he got skills and a killer mindset You don't get shot over players way taller than you without being physical. Unless you're allen Iverson and young Tony parker
I was disappointed you didn't mention how he brings the ball up in different ways (with the sweep to the right) but then you mentioned it. it's so effective it's impossible to guard, to defend it you have to take yourself completely off balance and he can blow by you
Can you break down how to get pass defender? Get pass him, not pull back, step back for a jump shot. Because I feel like I can't get by my defender and all I can do is step back for a shot.

He's going to succeed some what because he's in his own lane
You a basketball lover. Take this W
Imagine if he talked as well, people would know more, and a facecam. I personally don't need it, but others have predilection to have it
this channel helped me take my game to the next level

Boy Knight Ennis Melo Chriss , added some good weapons to an already elite roster to take workload off harden n cp3’s back this season

his hamstring wont allow him to though
Short guards unite!

yeah
Chandasouk I’m only 6’5 I wanna be 6’9
I’m only 5’7 as a grown man
Kevin Penn I’m 17 hopefully I can still get there
CP3 one of the most efficient guards in the NBA 💯
Was
in history
Still efficient. OKC lost Russ and George and still are a 5 seed
@@YNGSMO he was shooting 49/36/90 with a TS% at 60.9% before the season was paused, definitely isn't a past tense thing.
@@fgrep15 i know he still elite but he gets older and hes declining u cant deny that
3:00 is brilliant - he basically made two defenders block each other out. He using his movements to put opposing players, not just his defender, into positions that allow him a clean shot 👌
he also could've had a dime on that play to by dishing the ball to blake

“Why Chris Paul never gets blocked”
*Insert clip of the Isaiah Thomas chase down block on Chris Paul
Andrew Rosales 💀
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
Remember that time the referees felt bad CP3 can never win a playoff series so they called a non-existent foul on Tim Duncan so Chris could finally be a winner?
Sadly that's been the highlight of a massively underwhelming career (or massively overhyped slightly-above-average player)
Seraphique Vox the stats and the eye test show that Chris Paul is more than a slightly above average player, lol please watch basketball.
@@seraphiquevox winning is a team game there's a good chance giannis may never win a championship either.
True point guard
We still need a Paul pierce breakdown .. for all us slow smooth hoopers
ballislife Agree. Basketball player with average talent can learn a lot from Paul Pierce who is not rely on athleticism.
Yall need some Paul George breakdown
The perfect point guard right here. Can playmake as good as anyone and score anytime
Do Zach Randolph pleeease! For slow, unathletic bigmen who wanna learn how to play an old-man game.
Lebron James Just spin and fake all day bro lol
Hussein yeah but I would just love to have a video from this channel explaining all that shit lol
So underrated, the old-man game.

Usually, I don't write comments. But I'll leave this comment right here just to show you how much I appreciate your videos.

ReCharredSigh yeah and also it might not be smart to mimic his shot if u have a big head because your elbows would not be in the V or L shape
The beauty of this is its all instinctive and intuitive, comes with experience and a lot of isos
I honestly believe cp3 is the smartest point guard of all time and I think at his peak no point guard was better period.
For me, the smartest pg gotta be Steve Nash
@@Ben2bwild not defensively
@@TheIcemanthomas i said 'smartest' not who's best
@@Ben2bwild so did I. Nash isnt a smart defender. Cp3 is. So I think cp3 is an all around smarter ball player than nash since his IQ extends to both ends. Simple.

this channel the best for breakdowns! keep doing what you're doing
Great video but I’d say Chris Paul has a 2 motion shot. His set point and release point are high which helps him shoot over taller defenders.
It appears very efficient since he starts without being knees much or holding ball especially low. He's just standing there with the ball one second and jumping the next. You can't tell when he's going to shoot.
One of the goats.

Rosita Delacruz bro Lebron is Top 5 maybe even Top 2
Rosita Delacruz he’s in the top 40 greatest players of all time do not be misguided
Rosita Delacruz
Lebron is too 2
That sweep to the right side to protect the ball is so key
The best ball handler. no wasted movement no 8 crossovers and 8 behind the backs to get nowhere 😚
This was my favorite one of this series so far
Thank you!
Very good and educational video. 👍✌
Great job breaking down Chris Paul... excellent work!!!
The sweep is so he doesn’t bring the ball up in the middle or across his face this avoids strips and allows him to get shots off over close D, also it makes the shot consistent as he’s getting the ball to where her always shoots it with little to no movement
His shoes are mad crazy good too btw ,Go look them up there real nice 👍
Personally I don't like CP3 that much, but he will become an inspiration for my shooting. Thanks for these great breakdowns homies!
Y'all didn't do Manu before he retired 😭
@@phillipmoss3321 an attention to detail...
Pause
This is a must
Studying this will help a lot for this season. Thanks again 🙏🏽
During his New Orleans Hornets... Sheeeeesh forget about it! He was burning every defender in front of him.and if you double teamed him. That Tyson Chandler / David West combo was just filthy.
Let me stop disrespecting this man I’ve learnt so much this video. He’s amazing.
That's why he is going to be in the hall of fame
2:04 lol, man, he's the DEFINITION of a 2 motion jump shooter. Ever since Steph came out everybody wants to call everything a 1 motion jumpshot.
Awesome video, I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about his pattened floater
*patented
Such a damn good channel. Thanks for taking the time to make these.
Also, he doesn't shoot alot. That's a key of his I think, his passing is so great defenders play the pass more than his actual shot.
A lot of the shooters in the league shoot in one motion and don’t jump very high on their jumpshot as well. Saves energy and your legs for defense
If you were able to notice all these techniques by yourself through watching him play then you're one the best basketball analysts. If you did some research and gathered info on this then i need you to do my essay for a quick A+ please lol
Good nuances to incorporate into my game, hardest part for me is getting jumpers off without at least 3 feet of space
for paying attention to this you are the best channel on basketball ever
Chris paul moves are so clean!
wow! this analysis was INSANE!
Finally... A good answer to all the missed chasedown blocks attempts against Chris Paul nba2k18 👍
Most complete PG of all time.. As soon as he wins a ring he'll be a top 3 PG ever.
Not top 3
He's a fundamental point guard. Talented.
Looking back at this video after he shot over Bol Bol twice, crazy how it comes in handy
my drip kid ocean - BEAT
That Nike ad was Fuego. 🔥🚒📛🌋
Thought I clicked on a instrumental, I was spitting 😂
Insane balance and ball control
*looks up chris paul getting blocked compilations*
Maybe a breakdown of Kyle Lowry's game? He's similar in height to CP but is not as deceptive (or perhaps I'm wrong). Would be cool to see what makes his successful in the league. He's certainly one of the better PGs in the league.
Very very very nice video!!!!!
I think this just shows that he is an NBA player cause everyone does this stuff!
I love his game man. Fav player all time
May i add also one key detail - the defenders are also worrying a pass...
Gilbert arenas (the original Steph curry/harden) coming anytime soon?
Chris Jackson was the original steph curry
Before curry it was arenas tho lol they cappin arenas was out there
Chris Jackson was bro
@@teegee2690 u smoking crack
Keenan Powell brandon roy was better imo
He rarely get blocked because he's very strong, he got skills and a killer mindset
You don't get shot over players way taller than you without being physical. Unless you're allen Iverson and young Tony parker
Dude like your videos the thumbnail says itself!! DETAIL BY DETAIL KEEP IT UP❤️
Thanks for making this video I'll try it the next workout
He got blocked by Isaiah Thomas tho. The shortest player in the league lol
Zero makes more sense tho
Just one time
That's why he doesn't drive to the basket anymore
Zero lol not the point of the vid
On a layup he’s talking bout jumpers
I was disappointed you didn't mention how he brings the ball up in different ways (with the sweep to the right) but then you mentioned it. it's so effective it's impossible to guard, to defend it you have to take yourself completely off balance and he can blow by you
Other than Kyrie, CP3 is definitely one of my all-time fave pg!!!
Creates an open space simple and short
OKC Thunder got a future Hall of Fame Center, give 100% & ignore National Media smear campaign aimed at Chris Paul.
This was some dope analytical shit
It’s crazy cause I didn’t realize CP3 hasn’t ever been blocked (that I remember) until I read the title and realized I’d never seen him blocked
Finally someone talk about his midrange
shooting in front of 7 ft tall guy every single nights and been rarely blocked is such incredible
First Edit: I love your videos man you helped me out so much with basketball thank you so much
one thing tho his jumpshot is 2 motion he pauses at his set point wich is 2 motion but overal very nice vid very helpfull
Do one on how Tony Parker got so many points in the paint without being blocked.
I think chris has one of the best if not the best shooting forms
What the fck man?!!! How'd you notice those details that good!!! Subscribed alrdy damn
Can you break down how to get pass defender? Get pass him, not pull back, step back for a jump shot. Because I feel like I can't get by my defender and all I can do is step back for a shot.
Jethronono Get lower
Not a big CP fan but this video was dope
Still the most efficient guard out there
Can you do another attention to detail on derrick rose? You focused on his athleticism last time, but I'd like you to analyze his game more
This is awesome. Good edit!
No one can block him except for Isaiah Thomas on the fastbreak
Anyone have tips on how to get your set point higher? I shoot from my chin
Attention to detail for Tmac please
In my humble opinion the archetype of a pg.
What beat is that?
