    1. Tilt feet to the left
    2. Sweep feet forward
    3. Have your ankles knees and hips load at the same time and the basketball too so you load the spring then explode the spring
    4. Have your chest follow the basketball down
    5. Have your pointer and middle finger touch the ball last
    6. Shooting elbow above your eyeline

    I just went back playing a bit after 20 years, and these videos are so helpful to get back some shooting form. I wish I could have watched them back in high school... but no TH-cam back then!
    But good tips to help me hang in with the kids on nearby court.

    I love these videos. I wish they were around 30+ years ago. Basketball is my first love. And even though I only play basketball about once a week it has really helped me be an even better shooter that I was when I was in my early 20's. I try to pass on some of shooting tips to the young kids I play with. But I try not to share too much, because I still want to be better than them when we play against one another.

    Thanks for this I really appreciate it. backstory is all my friends joined a basketball team, except for me and my best friend since we didn’t have enough time for training. Everyday a recess and lunch, me and my friend would sit out and play something else, and if we asked to play, we would be told to go away. it felt like there wasn’t a friend group anymore. Then, I stumbled across this video, and the next week I was finally able to compete against my friends in one way or another. And don’t worry I taught my friend too😊

      Curry also has peaches being square to the basketball n he does not do that himself he is slightly turned he also say no palm on the ball and he has a hell lot of it a lot of nba players r talented and work hard but don’t know wtf they r doing in detail they just damn good at what they do and might not know the science behind. Sometimes curry has a goose neck sometimes he doesn’t and it’s 2 fingers snapping the ball. Listen to everyone advice do. Some research and decide for urself what is then better option

    @animegoatforever2571 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I watch this guy a lot, but I think the part about lowering the ball as the body lowers needs revision. Think about it like this, everything is a 2 count. For instance, it’s 2 motions from when you lower the body to the 2nd movement which is when you jump up. And when it comes to your arms, no matter how you try to explain away, every shot is really 2 motions not including the deep motion. In other words, there’s the shot pocket part and then the 2nd part which is the follow-through. For timing purposes and maximum power distribution, you need to link these two extremities.
