Slow release

Ball leaves your hand lower than your chin

My form and shot is wet like patek water lil nugga. Matter of fact, I challenge randoms at the park for a little 3 point shooting for some $.....

Seriously tho, I grew up on emulating Jordan's shot and it works for me. Matter of fact, I started working on my off hand at the free throw line. Up to 80% as of today and getting consistency to three.

I remember awhile back when I was working in a youth detention center I was observing the kids shooting basketball in the gym. Not an actual game, just shooting.

You can tell most of them were terrible at ball just by their jumpshot form. But there was 1 kid who stood out to me. He stood out because his jumpshot form looked "professional". Very nice form. I could tell just by his shot form that he had organized basketball experience. I later talked to him and it turned out that he played on his Varsity high school team.

You can tell alot off rip just by how a person shoots the ball. I mean some people look flat out stupid when shooting a basketball. Hell, I guess that would be the MAJORITY of the population would if you randomly gave them a bball and told em to shoot.

I know there's dudes in the pros who got funky jumpsuits but most times they aren't "shooters" or they're big men whose hands are too big for the ball.

So how does your jump shot look? Would we assume you could ball off the strength of your jump shot form or would we assume you're trash on some

Yes.

My estranged father taught me too shoot. :mjcry:

i have terrible muscle memory so i takes me about 10 minutes of shooting around to find my "good" form. Otherwise i have a bad tendency to twist my wrist at the end of my shot, veering the ball off ever so slightly.

Semi slow release
I'm left handed but it feels a bit more natural releasing the ball with my right hand but It looks like I'm pulling up with the left or shooting with both hands but my right hand is the last to touch it

Just all around ugly but when I'm on fire, hard to stop.

I’m just starting to get the flick for my shot right, but I don’t think I use my guide hand correctly and I got fukk all lift. Plus I start veering when shooting off the dribble

I gotta get some Paul Georgie highlights in my life

Quick release, form is on point, my shot is a lil flat and I'm streaky, but it looks damn good if I say so myself

Perfect hand placement

Middle finger always the last one to touch the ball

Slight leg kick like Kobe :wow:

My jumper look good but I’m a perimeter defense player. If I was a foot taller no doubt I would have been playing in at least the d league or overseas :ld:

he fukk was I smoking when I posted this

I played ball so my jumper is by the book, textbook form. Lead foot to the basket, body tilted to the side, elbow lined with the basket, ball released from the fingertips. I struggle finding the right lift on my shot tho. Also im a lefty so pullups from a left hand dribble are tough.

I think most people who have a funky jumpshot never tried to shoot it the correct way so when they do it feels alien and unnatural to them.

man i was at the gym last week and hit a game winning three :banderas: and this asian dude on the other team comes up and tells me i shoot like paul millsap. i was like :what: that's such a random comparison, millsap's shooting form isn't unique enough to be notable... so i ask the dude if hes saying i have good shooting form.

he gives me the :manny: and says hes never seen paul millsap play so he doesnt know, and then he just walked away :what: :what: :what:

gotta say brehs i still do not know what to make of that interaction :what:guess i shoot like paul millsap :manny:

i am probably the only person on this site who could actually have played in the nba. i got back from shooting earlier and some little kid came up to me and said that he remembered me from shooting before because i just be out there raining j's from all over the goddamn court. got mufukkas recordin and taking pics and shyt, so sometimes i will miss on purpose so it doesn't seem like i'm some kind of douchebag, but yes, i got it like that brehs. @Claudex
