@Josimite 313 Curry barely played this season so it’s very possible that he didn’t take enough deep threes to be notable
In ten years: “the full court shot isn’t just a gimmick”
Qwerade lmfao
LeMelo Ball is probably gonna make that a thing
In 40 years: "the back court shot isnt just a gimmick, Stephen Curry Jr shoots a dazzling 38% from 60 ft"
I always carry my lucky item of the day with me as my horoscope said. That's why my shots never miss.

If ESPN has to post something, more like this would be better than just talking about whether or not the season will come back, their opinions will most probably not affect the actual decisions.
If they're actually analysts, it's high time we see actual basketball analysis.
This takes longer to produce.
Josh Aleru we don’t care bro that’s their job 🤦🏾♂️
@@jaleru Well... Firstly, everyone has a lot more time now and also I don't mean something exactly like this.
It could just be them showing clips of games and breaking down team offense and defense
@@yvans. Well if we're being honest their job is to get views.
Starting drama & talking a lot of non sense appeals to the casual fans & mainstream audiences which is why they start drama & talk a lot of nonsense.
@@jaleru yes, but they have more access to the sources compared to individual creators out there
More of this and less of what LeBron had for breakfast

Waffles or pancakes? What do u think he had?

What did he have though?
@@Dumebi7278 r/whoooooooosh
The math behind Ben Simmons is: If I never attempt a mid range or a three point shot I'll never miss it.
Sounds like how I play
Reminds me of the famous quote “you miss 0% of the shots you don’t take”
he does shoot them though.... and he does make them..........
he just realises its not his forte so he doesnt do it often!
@@86niisan8686 Very true. He has made shots in warm-ups, but he doesn't do it not because he can't but because he doesn't want to.
Imagine how efficient Curry, KD or Harden would be if they were left wide open like a PJ Tucker. Actually, you don’t have to imagine... there’s video of them hitting 50+ straight threes. For Curry, an open three is a layup. And the fact that Harden shoots around 36% on contested stepback threes is equally incredible. And KD is a bucket when he’s contested so...
drew c agree
Well shooting in a gym is far different than an actual NBA game.
In an actual game it is more more difficult to get your rhythm than in a low pressure gym.
This is why you see NBA players miss zero out of 50 or more shots in the gym but come game time they'll sometimes miss wide open shots.
I'm sure PJ has shot 50/50 in a gym setting as like I said he is playing at his own pace & is fully in rythym.
Curry had three wide open three point attempts in 2016 for a championship and missed them all😂😂😂😂 Harden hits contested threes but misses wide open threes that’s why he’s lost to the warriors in so many WCF. KD is the only one that’s worth mentioning he’s a consistent shooter from just about anywhere open or contested.
Geo Clark facts lol
finally something worth watching
Finally something not about Lebron James and other stuff
Get outta here harden fan
Flight when he sees this video: Where’s Curry? ESPN made this up.
Injured moron you gotta play 75 percent of games for ur stat to qualify

@@pierreaoun9600 lmao big chungus mansimpin for the first guy lol
There's actually a pretty simple reason that Lebron is weak on one baseline and Booker is weak on the other... and it comes down to old-school vs new-school shooting mechanics.
The old-school conventional wisdom for shooters was to put your dominant foot down last before shooting. So if you're right handed, you get your left foot down first, and then put your right foot down pointed towards the basket. Lebron is an old-school shooter. He's right-handed, but he feels more comfortable getting the screen on his left shoulder before a shot.
The old-school rationale was that this gives you a longer time to guage before putting your leading foot down... and also, when coming off a screen, there's more distance between the screened defender and your shooting hand.
The problem with this rationale is that:
1. Turns out, your off-foot is more responsible for lining up your shot than your leading foot (because it supports more of your weight launching you slightly forward... plus it's more off center, making your off foot more responsible for maintaining your side to side balance.
2. You get more SPACE going around the screen this way, but the downside is that it slows down your shooting stroke because you have to turn your shooting shoulder towards the basket... which adds about 0.2 seconds to your release, which negates any distance you might have created.
3. Having to turn around the screen the hard way means that you have to correct a lot of twisting momentum in your shot, as well as some momentum pushing you onto your heels (which as any boxer can tell you, being "on your heels" is problematic because there is no balance corrective behind your heels. You're far better off using your toe side to correct your balance than your heel side)
Anyway, the best example of old-school shooting is Wesley Matthews. He shoots like a righty, but for some reason, he prefers to set up his shot back to front and likes to come off screens the old way.
Lebron is also like that, but to a lesser extent... and Lebron prefers to back down opponents when possible.
So with Lebron, if he takes a baseline fadeaway on that side of the court, firstly, he has to set up front foot back foot (which he doesn't like). He's usually already run out of options (he tries to avoid that shot) and he doesn't like spinning that direction into a shot... so that's why that's his least efficient shot.
BOOKER on the other hand, is a new-school shooter. He tries to lead into his shot with his shooting shoulder and foot. He likes to take screens on his leading shoulder. He likes to always have his leading shoulder pointed towards the basket. he prefers having time over space for his shot (much like Steph). And if you look at Steph's shooting zones... no coincidence that Curry has only one shot zone below league average... and it's the exact same zone.
But why? Well:
1. There's no way to do the standard right-shoulder clockwise turn into that baseline shot for a new-school shooter. You would have to start out of bounds.
2. More times than not, he avoids that shot and only ends up there because a drive attempt failed
3. By the time he's in shooting position, there, he doesn't have toes in a good position to correct side fade (because he has to turn onto his heels).
4. In order to get that shot, he's probably either being doubled late clock, or he's got a big switched onto him (help defender). Most likely, the right play here is to throw a lob, but if he can't see the lob, he's gotta just take the shot... which of course, any time you are forced to take a shot, your percentages will go down.
So it's largely because it's the shot on the floor with the weakest setup and the most escape options that... if he takes this shot, you know he's not in a good way.
Small note... Lebron needs to add a dreamshake to his favorite moves. That would help him clean up that zone.
Lebron is highly efficient from that fadeaway normally. This season he hasn't found his rhythm. Go back watch some of is best games. He has been hitting unstoppable shots from there.
Thank you for the very well constructed evaluation, this deserves way more likes
@@niweshlekhak9646
i did notice... It might have been 2 years ago in the playoffs, he fell in love with that shot
I suspect he grinded out that shot because he knew the defense would give it to him
i wouldn't say that was ever NORMAL for him. It seemed to just be a momentary focus of his... just a blip in his career where he REALLY worked on that shot.
I would mention though that there is an overarching trend there as well.
The trend is... the earlier in the shot clock, the better the shot.
This trend is very easily explained though. If you rank all possible shots on the floor and all possible coverages on those shots from 1 to 10 (10 being a wide open, high efficiency shot like a dunk or a wide open corner 3 from a 3 point specialist), you can see the shot quality get worse as the clock becomes more pressing. You are expected to put up a 10 any time that you get it... and in the first 10 seconds of any given set, nobody is going to settle for less than a 7. The next 10 seconds, if a shot hasn't gone up yet, it's time to avoid a late-clock shot, so you'll sometimes settle for a 4. The last 5 seconds, you'll settle for absoluetly anything you can get up... kind of a hail Mary. No matter how bad the shot is... it's not worse than a 24 second violation.
With Lebron, part of the reason he's got certain times in his career when he performs well from that zone and from his little sweet spot 5 feet past the wing 3... is because he starts going for those shots earlier in the clock, when the defense assumes that these shots are not high quality enough for Lebron to take them. This means that those shots are made more efficient by the fact that nobody is prepared to guard them... and because Lebron has been putting extra focus into those shots.
When the regular season comes around, he doesn't feel the need to invest that greatly into these little surprise shots. He just likes to mix it up for the playoffs.
@@classyassmothafucka8890 no Lebron hit those shots ever since he came into the league. In Miami too he hit a lot of fadeaways from the right corner. That is very noticeable in the celtic game 6 in 2012. Even in his rookie season he had the mid range fadeaway. I remember his rookie season, he took a lot of those shots and made it.
Props
“No one is more accurate than from the elbows than Chris....”
Me: *Bosh* 😊
“Paul”
😳😳
3 okc guys own 4 spots on the floor. Makes sense how they did so well this season
And to think they only had a 0.2% chance of making the playoffs!
I’m surprised Demar isn’t here for midrange
Not efficient
BABLU AJAY he shoots 52% from midrange
not the most efficient.
demar is actually an average mid range shooter, he just didnt take a lot of 3 so it made it seems like he is an elite mid range shooter.
i think he is a little less efficient than his previous years

No way
9:40 who thought of the ray allen shot when you heard the commentary
Oh yeah James for three won’t go bosh with the rebound out to Allen and I forget he says the baang
Back out to Allen! BANG!
Russ only shoots so bad there cause he tryna recreate the buzzer beater 3 years ago
I almost never watch ESPN but I got this recommended and really liked it!
For once I learned a lot from ESPN instead of hearing repetitive takes
when 3pt% is higher than mid range%
Razzmatazz hops skiddly doo Mid range shots are usually a lot more contested
and off balance
Seeing IT makes me sad as the nba has kinda given up on him
Seeing how Joel went from the worst volume shooter in the front midrange to one of the best is incredible
I would like to see the all-time version of this. To see who is the GOAT at each area of the court
That would be a one-year project for the ESPN
Self Conscience Stats for zones weren’t recorded until the 2000-2001 season, unfortunately.
Curry will be the 3 pt leader frm everywhere -
It would be KD
Curry from threes, Shaq in the paint, and people like KD, Kobe, and Carmelo from mid range
Sad that curry was hurt for the most of the season.
Not really
@@yaggin explain?
It’s actually something that’s entertaining to watch while I’m quarantined! We need more of this!
🔥 video
These are the types of videos we basketball fans need right now
I reckon CP3 has run that play where the centre screens for him, CP goes left then cuts back hard to the right elbow for a midrange shot a million times and made 900k of them. If the opposition big steps up to challenge him its a free lob for any decent centre rolling off the original screen.
The best use of analytics of seen, but I need to see more analytiques of the best players to determine which one is actually better from the different shooting zones
No free throw or >Half court shot zones? I'd like to see the FT percentages, best to worst and who takes the most.
Finally a good basketball analysis video from this channel! Please keep it up!
one of the best videos ESPN has put out in a while
Lol thought they were crazy for not having Curry or Durant in some category until I realized it's just for this season
“Westbrook 3, won’t go, rebound George” sounds a little familiar 9:44
Great analytic!
Klay and Curry would’ve been on some of those for sure if they were playing
Klay would be in the corner threes
@@snooppp8873 yup
Steph would be in the deep 3 area

(ಠ_ಠ) I’m just messing with u, u became a fan of the sport at a great time . The talent in the nba right now is insane
This is what Iman Shumpert says in an interview regarding LBJ leading the floor. LBJ knows these stats so as to when and where to tighten up the D on a specific player.
brytsyd11 I was thinking the same thing. “So and so shooting 40% from 3 but in the corner he’s only shooting 26%”
jocriss this guy hasn’t played basketball before
Lmao yeah right
jocriss played in the league for almost 20 years against some guys for years disregarding rookies and people just now in the league. High iq im sure he knows who shoots what from where
@jocriss ...can't believe we actually have to explain this. If a guy shoots 26% from the corner you know what you can give or take. For example, you can choose to help off the 26% shooter from the corner bc your 1 has been getting killed on the PnR switch. But yea... "another Bron excuse" lmao fool
Now imagine this next year with a healthy KD, Steph, Klay, Kyrie ijs
This list is nice but when you're missing 3 of the greatest shooters the game has ever seen it loses its juice.
NBA players: I love the popularity
Jokic:(throws away mvp trophy)

I'm suprised I didn't see Duncan Robinson at all from three
And people tell trae young to shoot from half where he’s the worst from smh.
He is good at that
King Gaming100 They’re definitely skewing their stats in some manner because Trae is 34.7% from beyond 28ft this season. Dame is 37.7%. This video is straight up fake news
Trae young is the next harden without flopping but 10x worse defense
Michael Young 20% is good?😂
Stef D No it’s because the shots the guy in the video was talking about was beyond 30ft+. Even tho it’s only 2ft that matters a lot when you’re getting that deep from 3. He don’t skewing that stats he’s just showing it from deeper than what you looked at.
More videos like this and I might start watching espn
Curry could literally be anywhere beyond the 3 point line
Nico Yazima Im not sure about that left corner, tucker has mastered that. It’s literally his value as a 3 and D player.
Hard to watch a whole video and not see Curry isn’t it?
Yassin Ahmed because he was out for the whole season
Dame shot better from deep 3 than him last year though. No hate to Curry, he's obviously the influential player of this era and the goat shooter because of that. But these past few years Dame has caught up to him in terms of long distance shooting
@@latenightthinker4737 I think dame is more clutch but I wouldn't say he's caught up, fully atleast. But he is much younger so we'll just have to wait
I hope the nba season starts again. 🤞
Good video, but I think it would have been better if you split up the paint into shots directly at the rim (charge circle and inward) and shots from floater range (between charge circle and free throw line) they are two very different shot types
I’m not even kidding I’ve seen a lot of basketball and I have legitimately NEVER seen pj tucker miss a corner three and I make a point of watching it everytime I see a rockets game
*talking about LeBron being the least efficient in the midrange baseline*
"and is largely due to the degree of difficulty of these shots..."
After just showing LaMarcus Aldridge taking the same shots
LeBron isn't as great with the fundamental back to the basket footwork as LaMarcus. Footwork is hard when your back is to the basket man.
LeBron ends up near parallel with the floor because of how he sets up for the fader which is why he struggles with it in traditional post ups.
AFootball Guy2003 I understand it’s difficult lol I’m just saying that they touched on LaMarcus and didn’t say anything about difficulty
But he also made clutch Playoff shots from that exact spot, just know your strenghts and play toward them.
Raye D. I made no comment about him being clutch and making those shots when it matters. Just pointed out something funny in the video
Trae young shouldn’t even be compared to Steph nor Damian Lillard, not even close to their levels
This would be a different story if Steph and Klay were around
You should do a all time shooting zone vid like this

“oh he can really stroke it”
I'm a little surprised Serge Ibaka isn't the most efficient scorer from that right side (facing the basket) corner of the paint. That's his sweet spot, and I feel like he must hit at least 6/10 from there.

Lol did he say Lebron James might win his 5th MVP ? That is Gianiss MVP unless it was already fixed for Lebron James to get the MVP.
When you say "unless",then it "might" happen
@@gohitchi8001 what I meant I think Lebron James had a chance at and to make a race for the MVP if the season was still going on. I really think Lebron James has a chance if they played the remaining games. Other than that he should not get Gianiss covered too much ground towards the mvp in my opinion. Lebron James all he did when he beat the Clippers for the first time and then the Bucks was catch up but he has still has to pass him Giannis and he can only do that if they play the games. If they give it to Lebron James it was fix there is no reason he should be getting an MVP. I also would ask everybody shouldn't Anthony Davis get in the MVP since he is the best player in the Lakers?
Gianis got clapped by LeBron when they faced last.. but anyways, if you take away LeBron from the Lakers they don't make playoffs and that's a fact. = LeBron is the mvp
@@jrdnLC nope I don't agree with that just because you beat somebody does not automatically make you the mvp. Wouldn't that make Kwai or Paul George the mvp ? I say if anyone on the Lakers deserves mvp is AD LAST THE LAKERS didn't make the playoffs till he came. I think you are a Lebron fan is cool but you have to give credit where credit is do. Giannis has the best record you can't just give it away to anybody it has to be earn. They would have to get a better record than the Bucks I don't see that happening.
This was surprisingly mad interesting
This is just a good video with lots of surprises
James will not win MVP for the fifth time this year. He doesn’t deserve to win it.
I think it’s Giannis
Giannis or Luka.
