Watch how The speed of Galloway’s dip on the way down matches it on the way up. A key component to rhythm. The bottom of the dip is timed with the tap of the right foot 👌 🏀@BBiomechanics pic.twitter.com/U9ByVC2Ra4

one motion shot w minimal jump has become the standard, steve nash really the patient zero for the current culture imo w steph being the prime vector

galloway does the a kinda hybrid hop into a 1-2 there as far as the footwork which is kinda interesting

There’s more than one way to skin a cat

hop is def the current thinking but seems like all the best shooters will use the 1-2 situationally sometimes

saw some thing a while ago talking about how dell made steph radically change his shot to a higher release point while he was in high school because he wouldnt be able to get it off in the pros steph called it his summer of hell, got a lil chuckle out of that watching lamelo and trae shoot from their chins

it goes in but you would not teach someone to shoot that way

but maybe its good idk!

The release point looks good

What did Biyombo do to his free throw form??? pic.twitter.com/yABXnSAKaI

— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) February 27, 2021

oh no. i do not like that.

biyombo is a non-baller

the weirdest ft shooter I remember seeing was Shawn Marion, wouldn’t he kind of shove the ball with both hands semi-horizontally at the backboard?

pretty much describes his jumpshot altogether lol

huh, his release point looks like it's close to his shoulders!

pretty funny that rick barry, one of the greatest shooters ever, shot free throws underhand

with some of those you have to feel for the teammates who had to dap them up at the line, like "um... good job?"
i've always be been a fan of nelly's weird one handed thing

iirc Rick Barry was and remains outspoken about the underhand free throw. I know I heard an interview once about how he got Wilt to do it for a game or part of a season or something and he was able to make a much higher percentage, but wilt wouldn’t stick with it bc it didn’t look cool.

It’s pretty amazing how many dudes in that video actually had dece percentages. More than one way to skin a cat!

i remember that barry/wilt anecdote too, from basketball gypsy

https://www.npr.org/2017/05/28/530504774/why-rick-and-canyon-barry-stay-true-to-the-granny-shot

In his autobiography Chamberlain said using the "granny" shot made him "look silly" and "like a sissy."

i didn't realize until recently that elena delle donne is a significantly better ft shooter than any nba player. her holding the ball out with her elbow at a 90 degree angle seems notable, but her shot looks pretty conventional.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEHbB-9JvUo

the smaller ball would help with shooting % imo

so silly they shd use the same ball

uh why

cause its the same sport

I could watch Pistol Pete Maravich demonstrate ballhandling drills to Red Auerbach all day ...

"hip mobility" is the new scouting buzzword lol

marcus would be an amazing player development coach someday. he talks the game really well.

such obvious passion too

yeah i could see him really wanting to do a job like that

never been clear to me who the guys are who help the players do drills, are they on the development staff or what they tend to be young theyre not coaches theyre not ball boys

never seen this play before. the pacers used it to break the jazz zone. it's like the elevator doors play but in reverse

this is cool

Ralph Miller, the coach of the Oregon State Beaver hoops team from 1970-1989 favored a similar heavily pass-oriented offense. I think he cribbed it from Phog Allen. He hated to see his guards dribbling more than twice.

Fascinating video

that was great, thanking u

Ya watched that a couple weeks ago and been telling all my bball friends about it

love it

I made diagrams of 34 types of ballscreens, from Angle PnR to Wedge Roll

If you see a pick-and-roll but don't know its name so you can't look it up, try looking for it on this page and hopefully you'll find the right one

i want to thank caruso for shaving his head

love that

hes really thinking about the shot clock good stuff

guess nba assistant pooh allen did it on national tv when shamgod was still in high school lol

“If you know Pooh,” Rozier said, “you know he’s going around showing people that clip.”

finally track down the penn coach who taught it to pooh and

O’Hanlon said he doesn’t remember when he first did “The Reach Across.” He was always trying to come up with new moves and discovered this one on his own and never saw anyone do it before him. “I did come up with that,” he said. “I didn’t steal it from anyone.”

whats going on with DSJs shot form? looks like hes fumbling it right before he releases it

it looks like he's using some wrist action to generate backspin rather than like flicking it off the fingers as one does. definitely a little weird.

looks like hes catching then adjusting so his hand is way on top and to the side of the ball then compensating for that weird placement by thumbing very intensely, good luck man

yeah some sort of pre-shot rotation. takes him so long to set it up yikes.
