the hitch in the shot is terrible.
Whoever told him to change his shot, instead of refining what he already had to make that more consistant needs to be fired.
This would have never happened under Heinke's watch

I don’t know who got robbed worse. The Cavs in the Kyrie/Thomas Trade or the Sixers in the Fultz/Tatum-Lakers or Kings first rounder.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
science >>> whatever you are trying to get at here. again, the purpose of a comparrison is to explain how something works...oxygen deprivation, trauma force, etc..whatever it may be..the point is the brain is responsible for muscular actions, and in cases where there is no physical damage..if an athlete loses his form, its mental. stop using semantics to make it appear as if im comparing to dude a stroke victim im simply using a well-known condition to explain how the brain effects muscular actions. and you know that youre just being intellectually dishonest. degradation of skills is mental as well, when there is no physical damage. athletes perform reps to get stronger obviously but more importantly to sharpen the brains ability to control and expect those movements. nobody trying to be contrarian, youre just flat out wrong..his coach basically alluded to it days ago

Sixers' Fultz bothered by comments made on ESPN - Philly


:dead:

if there is no physical damage


Everything you typed up above is moot, he was injured, the severity is up in the air but his shoulder was hurt so all that extra nonsense you typed goes out the window. And you're still trying to compare a stroke, to someone changing their shots, comical. No, degredation of skills isn't mental, if you stop practicing your shot you wont be as good of a shooter, do you think these great shooters just stop putting in reps and just believe that they're good shotoers so the ball just goes through sheer will :wtf:


You sounding real flat earthy in this post breh

you clearly have no idea how the brain works. yes you can physically deteriorate, but dude is 19 so thats isnt even in play. dude shoulder has been fine for months now, and there was never any structural or muscular damage as it wouldve been disclosed by the team. he was diagnosed with "muscular imbalance", which is something a majority of americans suffer and live with. so basically he was never "hurt" to begin with...dude simply dealing with a mental block. im sure doctots, his coach, and science no more about it than you...just admit you were wrong. no amount of gymnastics is gonna change science man. if you attempt to change your shot, and forget the old one..that is a MENTAL ISSUE. he seems to have lost his rhythm and cant get it back. its all mental. Im done with this topic. you should probably read this to better understand.

How Does Practice Hardwire Long-Term Muscle Memory?


Every athlete, musician, surgeon—or anyone who regularly performs a motor skill that becomes fine-tuned with practice—knows that through repetition and practice motor skills become automatic. Everyday activities like typing on a keyboard, driving a car, or tying your shoelaces become automatic over time for anyone without a neurological disorder. What is happening in the brain that hardwires and consolidates the formation of motor skills into long-term memory?

The Cerebellum Is the Seat of Muscle Memory

When I was growing up, my father, Richard Bergland, M.D., was my tennis coach. My dad was a neurosurgeon and nationally ranked tennis player who believed that his “eye for the ball” was directly linked to his proficiency in the operating room. He would say, "Of this I am absolutely positive, becoming a neurosurgeon was a direct consequence of my eye for the ball."

The ability to lock your eyes onto a target while tying a surgical knot or hitting a tennis ball in the sweet spot of your racquet is called the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and is a function of the cerebellum. New research has identified a connection between Purkinje cells in the cerebellum and vestibular nuclear neurons working together to form long-term motor memory.

As a coach in the 1970s, my dad would say to me, “Chris, think about hammering and forging the muscle memory held in the Purkinje cells of your cerebellum with every stroke.”

The traditional view of long-term motor memory that my father was referring to was based on the “Marr-Albus model” which proposed that muscle memory was the result of long-term depression (LTD) of the parallel fiber synapses onto Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. The result of 'long-term depression' reduces activity following a stimulus which allows for fluidity of movement and precision of fine-tuned motor skills.

The March 2015 findings resulted from a collaboration of researchers at the University of Electro-Communications and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan, and the University of California, San Diego.

The researchers were able to integrate the multiple plasticity mechanisms of the cerebellum to explain the formation of long-term motor memory. Their findings suggest that multiple plasticity mechanisms in the cerebellar cortex and cerebellar/vestibular nuclei participate in long-term motor memory formation.

I don't think it's mental, he simply lost his form and is trying to find it again. I think some of the problem is that they were trying to change his freethrow form, and that somehow found it's way into his normal mechanics, whoever his trainer is should be let go immediately though. You can't have someone working with him trying to change his shot like that, he's a professional but at the end of the day he is only 19 and probably just did whatever the trainer said. His form was fine before, a little slow but you could speed that up, it takes a moron to suggest reworking the shot completely in 3 months.

bruh,

how could he lose like 15 years of muscle memory in less than one whole season

:dwillhuh:

im so fkin confused watchin him shoot

He hasn't lost muscle memory in this shot, that is why when he just moves and does instinctual shyt like catch and shoot he is fine, its when he sets and thinks that he gets fukked up because he is thinking about how he is going to shoot instead of doing it, instinctively

Which is why I am saying dude has a STRONG mental block going. He might need to see a mental health doctor in all serious. There are drugs/therapy that can fix this.

All of this, when your opening statement has been "If there was no physical damage" when even their own staff did say he was hurt, how much is up in the air, but his shoulder was in fact hurt. So everything you post now is just you Juelz.gif it up, you use his coach as a point, yet the team itself said he was hurt, no quotations either.

Nah drugs won't fix it, he just has to mentally work through the process. Or take this whole year off and just work on the new shot alltogether, day in and day out, until the new form isn't something he even thinks about.

I figured the 76ers would do this and keep his confidence up while getting his body ready in doing the physical training and etc. but colangelos are involved and seems they want to not only wreck the kids confidence but make him want to leave the team as well.

I just don't think it's possible to conclude anything other than that this is at least partially in his head.

He obviously isnt hurt now cause he wouldnt be able to shoot a basketball if his shoulder was fukked. There is a reason his coach said he hasnt seen anything like it and the team has not been able to find a diagnosis...shyt is mental at this point.

They didn't let him shoot during the months he wasn't practicing :martin:

Again, the shot in summer league looked completely different than it does now, his trainer fukked up his form trying to change it between summer league and the start of the season, then he got hurt. Do I think he had a serious injury, nope, but do I think finding your shot again is that simple? No. Brown and the Sixers are placing the blame on him and his trainer for changing his shot.

You said Lonzo's poor shooting is mental too :dead: Meanwhile he's taken steps to clean up his form and can actually shoot going to his right now, but that was a mental block and not a fukked up form in your world.
