Do YOU have a "Professional" Looking Jumpshot Form?

[Brock Landers]

I'm from the former Yugoslavia so you already know what time it is If only the country was as stable as my feet positioning during an off the screen jumper

See for yourself

my release is quick like Ray Allen. I got better by shooting in the dark like Glen Rice

Middle school fukked my jumper up and I didn't play formal ball after that. Mostly played in the gym and the ceilings were so low and I was so tall (6'3 at 13/14 playing nikkas like 5'8/5'9 5'10 the most) that I had to shoot on a bee line angle to avoid hitting the pipes and shyt in the basement. I went from a much more traditional form as a younger kid to having a Shawn Marion release over those years and it just became natural. I don't play enough for it to matter now and the shyt still goes in so it's whatever, but I know that shyt gets some looks.

Had one dude call me out on it at the park a couple years back and a nikka straight felt inside like "I know man I know "

Rec coach tried to change my shot when I was teen. I couldn’t commit to it and been shooting unorthodox ever since

 

[KingJay]

Yeah my shot is actually pretty af, back when I played in high school my shooting and athleticism were my two best attributes

As a really light skin mixed breh I was expected to have my shyt lookin like Klay or else brehs would hmu with the

My shot is fukked up. When i started playing, I would shoot from as far as i could physically throw it so all I had to do was aim. In youth league, we would play full court on the side baskets at the main gym so the court was short and there was no 3 point line. They typically called everything a 2 but my coach always argued for mine to be counted as threes because I was shooting from 25-30 feet.


As I got bigger and stronger, I was still used to a lower release point so I never adopted the textbook form.

man i was at the gym last week and hit a game winning three and this asian dude on the other team comes up and tells me i shoot like paul millsap. i was like 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 and says hes never seen paul millsap play so he doesnt know, and then he just walked away

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

My form is solid. Some say pretty. It’s consistent. I just have a weird side spin that I can’t figure out what from. Nobody has ever tried to really tinker with it.

Thought I did until somebody shouted out "Shawn Marion!" after a shot.



It went in though.

 

[Sly Cookin]

My jumper wet from 30 feet out. I got a McGrady form with not as much elevation

I got Kyrie or Curry before

 

[threattonature]

My jumper used to be beautiful. Had multiple times where I'd get in a gym and folks would see my form and ask if I've played organized before. After I stopped playing as often though I lost my rhythm so now I don't have that same rhythm to it that's fukked my jumper all up. I don't put enough leg into my shot. Only time I still have that same rhythm is coming off a screen for a catch and shoot jumper since I'm trying to gather my balance while jumping up so I jump higher and put more legs into it.

Sad cause I used to shoot a regular jumper a good 10-15 feet behind the line.
