I’ve been playing all my life and I’ve seen all kinds of shots. I think something about your personal physiology determines your shot looks. If you don’t tell a kid how to shoot he/she kinda finds their own shot if they play a lot. Repetition,confidence and arc seem to be the most important factors in a good shooter.
It's such an interesting topic isn't it. I personally believe through enough repetition people with a poor shooting technique will make a lot of buckets, BUT with a poor shooting form, the ceiling is only so high. If you develop a good technique (can still be unique) then add repetition, thats what leads to being a high percentage shooter. A good example of this was Lonzo Ball. Shot well in HS with a weird action. Came to the NBA and his technique was exposed. He worked on it and developed a good technique, lost a few of his bad habits and his numbers went up drastically.
@@Mattomeo15 I feel like we’re mostly agreeing but with lonzo and many others the shot would most likely still work in wide open situations but those are much harder to come by as the level of competition raises. So the form itself objectively works but it requires more to get off. I think free throws have less variables and an are better sign of good form and how switching to a better from doesn’t always equal more success.
Exactement. J'ai 73 ans. J'ai fait 19 ans de basket, de 1956 à 1975, en compétition officielle, en France, au niveau régional. Les 10 premières années j'avais un niveau de jeu très moyen et surtout j'étais très maladroit ( genre 10% de réussite à l'entraînement et 1% en match). Et puis un jour à l'entraînement, j'avais 16 ans , j'essaye un nouveau tir : au lieu de lancer le ballon à hauteur de mon épaule je le lance à hauteur du crâne. C'est comme si j'avais gagné au loto ! Je suis devenu brusquement adroit ! Ce tir était parfaitement adapté à ma morphologie ! J'ai alors travaillé mon nouveau tir, surtout à distance, au moins 2 heures par jour pendant des semaines. Et je suis arrivé à une moyenne de 15 à 20 points par match ( sachant que les paniers à 3 points n'existaient pas). Moi qui n'étais auparavant que remplaçant j'étais devenu titulaire du 5 de départ. C'est une belle histoire qui m'est arrivée dans ma jeunesse.
@@JoeSpicy123 how is it going for you with the Larry bird form?. For me when I shoot it,it doesn’t really go in and goes over the back board sometimes and I thought I was using too much power but I think i gotta have a lot of more arc on my shot and extend my arms
@@xwock1610 seems like it was a one day thing for me lol, although I still like the feeling of it. Might try that shot again but I just feel like I lose a lot of power. I shot it once today and cashed it so who knows. If you can get good with it tho I think it can be deadly.
Klay is what every coach in history tries to teach their players. It’s genuinely the perfect textbook shot. Everyone else is good shooters not because of perfect form, but because they shoot the ball tens of thousands of times in the exact same motion and the muscle memory won’t let them miss
Genuinely it’s footwork. Watch his feet when he does all of these forms his footwork doesn’t change. A solid base builds a solid form. I’ve seen so many people who struggle because of bad footwork that leads to other bad tendencies
The most important part is getting to the point where your upper arms are perpendicular with your body, pointed toward the basket and your elbows are bent at right angles. Every great shooter, you can take a frame from their shooting motion where they get to that position.
I think what people neglect when shooting the basketball. Is arc and the velocity of the trajectory in which the ball travels. The ball should land softly when hitting iron of the rim
He’s probably using the great three-point shooters as an example. The guys you referenced are great mid-range scorers and their set-points are high, and they shoot at the apex of their shot (2 motion shot) to prevent contests since their shots are heavily contested in the mid-range. Still good shooters, but the guys in the video are the all-around shooters.
Ever notice no one ever talks about the eyes when discussing shooting form. Just like being left-handed or right handed, we have a dominant eye. I always theorized that those funky shooting forms are a result of compensation for having a dominant eye opposite of the dominant hand…and the shooter is using that extra motion to line the ball up to their dominant eye.
The feet are the key. Get them set and the release will vary because everyone's arm length and hand size is different so whatever gets them the quickest release is different.
This is so interesting because I feel like it parallels guitar picking technique. Sorry I’m a guitarist so I can’t help but relate it to that. There are many people who are great at it but it can be done in so many different ways. Django Reinhardt, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman, all use their right hand in such different ways yet get the same effect. It’s the same with shooting I feel.
Its all about release speed, height, and consistency. The kids that need corrections are usually shooting the ball from a low point or starting too low which makes it easy to defend, or have too much janky movement which makes the release inconsistent (early lonzo is a great example)
Teaching the "textbook" style of shooting is just a means of setting a foundation that is firm and easy to repeat and stay consistent with. Once you become a high level shooter, it's more about what shot feels more natural/comfortable to shoot with because your shooting form and release with vary depending on how you shoot. Whether it be the way you bring the ball up to the release point, how low or high you make the release point, how quickly you shoot or long you hang with the ball before you release etc.
“People always talk about shooting form. As long as the ball goes in, then it goes in” -Charles Barkley I don’t remember the exact words but it was something along those lines.
the perfect shooting form is the one that works for your body and how naturally it feels when you gather and release the ball. If it's not broken, never try to fix it.
I think the secret is to be able to reproduce your form every single time - almost no matter what that form looks like. Almost. Just be super consistent in your form. And look at the basket the whole time when you shoot - never look at the ball or your hands.
The same with Baseball, hitting coaches are always trying to change their hitting habits and style. Remember your own unique style is what got you in the Majors. The same with Basketball
Its hinestly whatever works for the person, though those things usually stem from whe you started to learn to shoot. That being said, Klays form is what you should teach at the beginning.
I really liked how Kobe shot the ball. There's just something about how he sets up his base, how he dips, how he moves his guide hand, even all the way to how he drops his arms after shooting that looked so "perfect" to me.

ngl i just choose the one that gets me the most buckets
yea hes also saying that
Wrd
Ong, i hate when coaches try to make you shoot "perfectly" like damn nigga, just let me shoot like i know how to shot
Facts
The perfect shot thing never made sense playing basketball in high school I seen guys who knew how to shoot an knew when to shoot with weird releases
Physics and anatomy determine everyones individual best shooting form, thats why a set form isnt always best.
whatever form, practice makes perfect
YOU ARE RIGHT!! Been saying this for years!! Good work.
I've always said whatever goes in keep doing it. Looks don't matter
I thought my grandpa was throwing a Grenade at me ! Good thing he was shooting a ball😰

eh
The perfect shooting form does exist… he’s called Klay Thompson
Like he said it’s the literal definition of text book shooting form. Klay shoots so stiff and linear but it looks comfortable at the same time.

Klays got the perfect form not just hands but hes always so square and balanced when he shoots
Yes the release at the end
Its all about reps, and muscle memory
Perfect shooting form is the most comfortable and consistent form, which is different for everyone
You shoot for how you shoot what makes you comfortable but accurate
Thank so much I learned so much in this short 😊

It’s not about the form it’s about the arc and PRACTICE
Whatever feels natural to the person but also limited wasted movement to make the shot more consistent
Shawn Marion’s shot was crazy
It's about what's comfortable and lots of practice.
Perfect shooting form = Alan Houston
I thought no one was going to mention alan. Yes you said it. Allen was the best pure shooter
MJ shooting while flying was the best
MJ'S shooting form was text book.
No it wasnt actually
Who's textbook?
@IsaidThat-cy4pr hand on the ball, release, elevation, and foot work. All text book. Learn basketball.

Only thing jordan did sometimes was kick his feet way out
This guy know what he talking about
Everyone is just unique in their own way.
As long as it's in one motion, it's perfect
Jhonny been doing everything man!
its cuz, even if their forms werent great, their forms stayed consistent, something i need to improve on.

“Reverse waterfall” - klay Thompson
Vince Carter, the most elegant shooting form ever and pretty accurate
Mpj has the best shot❤ period
Klay and Ray probably the had best looking shooting forms ever
Its Jordan
Thank you for this it irks me to no end to hear this nonsense.
Ty sir
once you have a good arc and you can shoot straight you're good
Highkey should have em all
Yes it exists hence why the great shooters in the books have them
It’s does exist with Rick Barry shooting those beautiful underhand free throws
Shooting is all about muscle memory doesn't matter how it looks. Matters more with repetition
Glenn Rice had a pure shot
Great! ❤❤
There are so many ways to get a bucket. Good shooting form isn’t useless to learn at all but it shouldn’t be dogma.
Thank you for addressing this because I have been wondering about this and how I teach this to athletes and students, need some adjustment.

how about melo?
@@LolomoStrongYa, for me Melo has the best looking shot.
Only thing that matters is balance and getting the shooting arm/shoulder square to the basket
Best shooting form: Whichever form works for you
2nd best shooting form: Klay Thompson
Ray Allen's shot was a thing of beauty...Everyone else is semi unorthodox...
Fundamental form but a person's body and style and comfort will determine the final form.

I always theorized that those funky shooting forms are a result of compensation for having a dominant eye opposite of the dominant hand…and the shooter is using that extra motion to line the ball up to their dominant eye.

Great shooting forms.....
Melo, Reddick, Starks, Havlicek, Curry, Kobe, Hornacek, Jordan &
Mark Price to name a few.....
It does exist, and it's Klay Thompson. Absolutely pure.
«Perfect form» is what you have when you can replicate it perfectly everytime with optimal efficiency.
Best for you is the best shooting position

There is a perfect shooting form for each anatomy, every human just has a different anatomy and therfore different perfect shot
Ant man said it to MPJ. “Yo form weird as hell huh? You just gotta make sure yo shoulders square huh? Yuh.”
Thanks
Everyone physiology is different too, wingspan, hand size etc... all those things make a difference in what sort of movement youre comfortable doing
the perfect shooting form is the one that works for your body and how naturally it feels when you gather and release the ball. If it's not broken, never try to fix it.
Only thing that matters it’s hips/shoulder/basket alignment. Everything else is just spices
Only thing that matters is the top of the release/ wrist snap. If comfortable eith your form, everything between does not matter.
It’s the release… you have to master making the ball go perfectly straight without deviating to the left or right… next is finding the perfect arch
i cross my arms too😭😭
I do it too sometimes
same, i always be fouling myself whenever i shoot
Larry Bird had one of the goofiest jump shots but it was all about the finesse of how he shot it. No matter how he did it, the ball went in

if you have distorted hand form but shoots better than anyone else, your form should be the perfect onee
He didn't even mention Shaun Marion 😂
Was waiting for the Haliburton shot. Or go way back to Kevin Martins and Shaw Marion form. Good shooters with unorthodox shot forms
Klay has absolutely perfect shooting form
Shawn Marion will forever have the most perfect/beautiful form
