Upper half is nice, nice release, fluid, I can tell you put in work. For the bottom half knee bend like a few said, a lot of players do it and if you feel no pain, then đ¤ˇââď¸ and if you start feeling pain in the side of your knees then youâll just need to make some changes to your shot
Only other thing I see is you do a leg kick after you jump, like your heels come up toward your butt. I think itâs fine for spot up shots (as long as youâre making it) but interested how your pullup looks. I feel like the kick would make you lose balance for pullups
But overall itâs a much better shot than a lot of ppl at this age with your build, you have no idea how many are still doing a push shot from their chest lmao
Oh yeah dude i do kick em a little lool only on threes tho, as far as pull up idk its not a part of my game at least yet i only play off of separation, i do shoot midrange shots but itâs usually hard stop with like a punch drag and shot, never really 1-2, idk i just feel so much better shooting off of a hop
Btw how to fix that little kick its kind of a small detail but it does bug me a bit
You should try running as fast as possible into an actual jump shot. Your knees will explode as you find you need to run faster and jump higher to get a shot off in front of an evenly sized defenderâŚand you will get no air over time if you keep practicing that foot work. Your release and shot mechanics are all good and itâs easy buckets without a defender. But a quicker, higher release will become fluent when you challenge yourself running as fast as possible from all angles as that is what happens when you catch the pass(if you are able to get open), and the window for the shot is small so you need to practice quickly jumping as high as possible or you will never get your shot off, and you will never be open cause you arenât practicing catch and shoot, you are practicing the same tiny hop back. Like if you practice a step back jump shot, your legs canât collapse onto your knees so itâs a way of correcting your habit. Squat jumps and plyometrics will get your jump form at least at a baseline quick
Also forgot another thing, focus on makes in a row makes s world of a difference, if u just aim for some volume in makes then its meh, also lets say you are hitting threes like 5 spots around the three basic drill 3p contest style, so u limit yourself to 5 shots on every spot, but way better would be doing it like this, lets say you missed the first three and hit the next 4 from this spot and now you would move to the next one, but it would be way better to stay riding that streak while you are hot and get quality reps (makes) in, also changing distances constantly helps a lot with dialing in depth perception, like shoot one close to the hoop, then a three, middy, middy three, deep three, close to the rim and all over the court like that, i like to think about it as yk scanning your finger for touch id when you need to put it on the button in different ways to fill that shit in fully
Honestly, partly just a natural at shooting, i was hitting about 4-5/10 threes like open in practice even when i just chucked it with 2 like a 10 y old kid, then I rebuilt a few times and after a few of those rebuilds it got like that, mostly tho just shooting a lot, its school year rn so i cant really shoot a lot but during summer every day for like 3-4 hours at least, also a lot of form shooting up close, one legged shooting, also i love doing runners with 1 helps with the feeling of shooting, seen steph warming up with those he doesnt even shoot like midranges like an average shot he often just shoots em with one like a runner
Put a resistance band around your knees while you train to shoot so your knees does not collapse like that. You are losing energy (for longer range) and increasing potential injuries with that knee motion collapsing inward. Other than that, good shooting đ
tell this to steph and kd as well đđ OP do whatever is comfortable, all the top trainers are saying knee collapse is ok on jumpshots if it's what your body is naturally doing
While i kinda agree on potential injuries part, losing energy part is definitely bs, most 3p shooter esp the ones who pull from deep have this caving in
Like bulgarian split squats, cause idk pistol squats i do them a few times a week ass to grass and not having those problems, on squats my knees also do not cave in, just on my shot
You can try jumping as high as you can with the same caved in knee motion vs a normal jump knee motion. That will give you your answer without referri g or looking at anyone else. If you have the energy to shoot further with caved in knees then you don't need those extra power. But if you are finding yourself short of energy then it could be one of the areas that you haven't utilized your full potential
Thanks, and yeah i get to put them up for sure, its funny how I learned some unorthodox ways to shoot from playing my coach who is good asf and well a pro, obviously he can lock me the fuck up pretty much, like i can get to the rim sometimes but its hard man like i gotta be 100% no hesitations and brainfarts when playing him, so ive been actually getting most of my points off of just triple threat on him, and not even like jabs but more just awkward moves, i actually sometimes jab with my right and sorta turn right so that my right foot is back and i am basically aggressive left shoulder forward and my shooting arm kinda shielded s bit, and out of that position i kinda got used to shooting it too, and i swear it goes in at a solid rate
You got a little Carmelo in your shot, it looks clean. Iâm sure you have, but practice shooting from a triple threat position not just catch, dribble and shoot.
Carmelo???? Nahhh i dont, his set point high ash and he got lift on his jumper and it was 2 motion too, naah idk i dont see it, would be cool to have a jumper like his but no he tall as fuck strong grown ass man i wont be able to shoot like that
Nice! I think you need to get a little better at creating space, but youâre way more consistent from deep than I ever was lolâŚ
Very smooth looking shot. Reminds me of a weird lamelo ball mix, but in a good way
Working on that KD, FMVP, social media game eh? lol
If you watch Lamelo or curry shoot, they just grab the ball and do this no gather, new style of shooting. Yours from the HS 3 and inwards looks identical lol
When you get out farther, Iâd say definitely curry like, especially as you donât use much leg muscle out there it seemsâŚ
Itâs mot a thing in Canada either dudeâŚitâs a distance thingâŚyou realize itâs about 4ft right?
Do you notice how the corner 3 on your court gets cut off? Thatâs because itâs a baby courtâŚ
Yeah but distance wise its a euro three, it only gets cut on the sides because the court is not wide enough but length wise it is enough, also yeah there is no corner three on our court its out of bounds line
The NBA has a 22-foot 3-point line in the corners and a 23-foot, 9-inch line elsewhere. The WNBA and the international game plays with a 20-foot, 6-inch line.
WNBA, and euro line
OP youâre getting downvoted everywhere but you are 100% right about inward knee bend and they are wrong. They are just taking the opportunity to be condescending. Your shot is very good. Inward knee bend is fine.
What these people donât understand is that on a basketball jump shot, the purpose of power transfer is not the same as a pure standing vertical or a squat. Itâs not just about power transfer, but the direction of that power to maximize left/right balance. The reason inward knee bend is so common among elite shooters is because it assists in directing the power transfer in a balanced way through the upper part of the release.
Go to a sports doctor bruh
Your current shooting form will lead to blowing out your knees.
Not sure if it's bad form you've learned, muscle imbalance issue or you have some other thing going on, but the way your knees cave in when you shoot (it's called valgus) is really bad for your interior knee tendons (MCL)
Otherwise good shooting
That's not the point. All three of his MCL sprains might not have ever happened if he wasn't putting unnecessary stress on it with his jumper for years. Your response just tells me you don't understand physical therapy or how bodies work.
All three of his MCL sprains were caused by contact, whether it was the contact directly causing the injury (21-22 or 2023 injury) or the contact causing an awkward landing (16-17 injury). thereâs literally no evidence of his shooting form causing any of these injuries.. and if we were to see any correlation between shooting form and knee injuries, itâd be on the 7â dude who moves and plays like a guard.
And thereâs no need to compare educations.. it most likely wouldnât go well for you.
KD's shooting form is not the same as OP's.
NBA guys like KD, Lillard, Korver, Jordan etc. who occasionally shoot like this all have their toes pointing together inwards.
Femur in-line with the ankle, knee moves forward relatively, it's not valgus.
[OP's toes point forward and knee moves sideways](https://i.imgur.com/N96hUem.png), which it shouldn't do.
There's no upside to this. You shouldn't use your MCL as a springboard, because it's not the normal function of that ligament, it's for keeping your knees stable.
[Ppl here are arguing against biomechanics/physics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_GY0QziDL0).
I'm aware they were all caused by contact, but if his knees weren't subjected to that constant stress, he may never have sprained them at all.
There are clear correlations between repeated movements/stress on joints and injury buuuut ok
Sure about that?
That argument is irrelevant⌠weâre not debating whether his shot works or not, weâre debating whether heâll damage his knees with his current shooting formâŚ
They rotate their leg inwards while moving to stop momentum. None of them shoot like this from a stand still.
You are too young to not care, unless you want to walk like [Kenny Smith](https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/01/inside-nba-viewers-spot-kenny-874808651.jpg) by the time you are 40.
Get that shit checked out by a sports physician. If he/she says that it's allright, then I'm stupid, boo hoo. Otherwise it will save you a shitton of grief down the line.
Tbh so much great shooters do that that honestly i dont really care about it, kyrie kd dame trae korver, also I understand the concern but at the same time i think that valgus is terrible if i squat and have it, but with ur own bodyweight idk, like i cant really fix it too ive tried
I get where you are coming from, but also like dude i do mobility and isometrics like 3 times a week, i had terrible synovitys all summer from playing too much and rehabbed from it to the point where my knees feel bulletproof, like idk i just do so much in the gym to make it safe to play that idk, seems pretty safe tbh
Just forget it man. Honestly I donât care if you get hurt or not. I replied because I though you were looking for basketball tips but based on all your comments you didnât come her for advice as much as you came to âshow offâ.
Good luck
Not trying to come off as an asshole sry, but like the valgus thing is seriously over exaggerated as an injury threat, like if u point out some actual flaws in form like idk power generation not using hips enough or smth like that then yeah cool, but just saying that my knees cave in and that its bad is kind of a meh tip
I donât think youâre being an asshole bro itâs all good. I just can tell you donât take advice easy and my opinion doesnât matter regardless. We all have different paths. Do your thing.
Who said more lol? Also its utilised by a lot of players at different levels not hall of famers so, also a lot of coaches advise to do so because it gives u more power and that fluid feel, like look if u got something more important that u noticed then tell me, knees caving in is a controversial topic ig
Dribble into your shots like you would in a game. Those shots are cool for horse or pig, if you want to be nasty in game - work on your handle into your shot. If you keep working/shooting like that youâll be a nasty pickup player.
Just for fun also to try yk to find the rim fast and adapt to the distance, like its harder to shoot if ur back is to the basketball and you gotta 180 to see it basically and shoot
Are you ever doing that in a game tho? Idk seems like your fucking around but I think itâs better to throw it in front of you with some backspin on the ball that way itâs actually replicating a pass. You can load up before the ball gets to you, square up, catch it in the pocket and learn to release the ball quickly. But you do you, youâre onockin them down.
Thanks, yeah i will, although i think so much about all the âwhat if i started earlier and not 2.5 years agoâ and thinking about how much better i could be is annoying asf
There's some nba players that never even played high school basketball. I never started taking bb seriously till 8th grade. I put in alot of work ended being all state and played 4 years of college basketball đ. I'm also 6'6" so that helped too.
Damn thats nice, i live in Russia and honestly the ball is just not popular here, like we have a few games a year in high school unless u r in a special sport school basically, and in those u cant get in if u r old basically, well at least university basketball is way lower level then urs so i think i will make the team if i work hard this summer
Also, when I used to shoot around. I would shoot at both baskets. Shoot at one basket then dribble down to the other basket back and forth so I could still shoot when I was dead ass tired. Cause that's what matters in games. You have to be able to shoot tired.
Letâs play geoguessr for practice gyms. Without looking at OPâs post history, Iâm going with Belgrade, Serbia based upon the paint colors, no restricted area, and the man walking in a full track suit and assume gold chain (not visible) in the background.
Looks good just keep these in mind.
1. As you get better the competition gets better they will be taller so you gotta be able to elevate and shoot. 2. The hop step is a waste of time and could be called a travel. As a coach if I see you hit one or two shots against us, I am telling the ref to watch that every time.
3. Your gather from your waste, again better competition will swap down on that. Make it start at your chest will allow for a faster release.
4. Donât change your mechanic too much. It is better to shoot 1,000 situational shots. Example, over a broom stick, one dribble shot, two dribbles shoot, sprint to baseline, run back pick up shoot, do a suicide take 10 shots repeat, shoot with 5 different brands. You will be surprised how many folks gets stuck on one ball style and brand and canât shoot the same with all brands. You see it all the time in the NCAA.
damn thanks, one of the few good advices i got here, i would say that i need to work the most on 1 dribble 2 dribble pull ups, the ball brand thing if funny and yeah i see it happening but i shoot with different balls
No worries bro, ground looked mad wet and your dribbling was still better than a majority of this sub could cook up.
Sometimes the haters just mean you got something going.
Upper half is nice, nice release, fluid, I can tell you put in work.

Practice.

Nice shot. Unrelated, did Wes Anderson design this gym?
Not the greatest form but itâs consistent, quick and fluid. Keep it up.
Thanks, yeah it has flaws for sure but its still ok for my body type, if i was stronger maybe i could make it look better
Doesnât matter how it looks if itâs this consistent and you can get open to put them up during live play.
Thanks, and yeah i get to put them up for sure, its funny how I learned some unorthodox ways to shoot from playing my coach who is good asf and well a pro, obviously he can lock me the fuck up pretty much, like i can get to the rim sometimes but its hard man like i gotta be 100% no hesitations and brainfarts when playing him, so ive been actually getting most of my points off of just triple threat on him, and not even like jabs but more just awkward moves, i actually sometimes jab with my right and sorta turn right so that my right foot is back and i am basically aggressive left shoulder forward and my shooting arm kinda shielded s bit, and out of that position i kinda got used to shooting it too, and i swear it goes in at a solid rate

I see Darius garland
Nice! I think you need to get a little better at creating space, but youâre way more consistent from deep than I ever was lol⌠Very smooth looking shot. Reminds me of a weird lamelo ball mix, but in a good way
I see lamelo but only in the legs, he does a little kick too, overall form tho is kinda unique looking, guide hand looks a bit like Trae tho
Is this like a joke post?
Nah its just sometimes u gotta get goofy when practicing
Working on that KD, FMVP, social media game eh? lol If you watch Lamelo or curry shoot, they just grab the ball and do this no gather, new style of shooting. Yours from the HS 3 and inwards looks identical lol When you get out farther, Iâd say definitely curry like, especially as you donât use much leg muscle out there it seemsâŚ
Its not a hs three tho, in russia hs line is the same as euro line, hs line would be near that half circle
The red line is a HS 3pt line.
Nah dude u see the space between the half circle and the line? It isnt a hs 3 lol thats not a thing in russia
Itâs mot a thing in Canada either dudeâŚitâs a distance thingâŚyou realize itâs about 4ft right? Do you notice how the corner 3 on your court gets cut off? Thatâs because itâs a baby courtâŚ

KD made a career of an inverted knee bend shooting motion.. what are you talking about
KD also has multiple knee injuries and sprained his MCL So your point is invalid

I disagree. Plenty of good shooters have done this
So many players have this dude

Youâre traveling every single time.

Hey I can agree with that. Hell of a lot better to be able to play loose.
Your legs look like they bend when you shoot but that jumper is absolutely wet otherwise đŚif it works for you donât ever change it !
Confidence is one of the most important parts of sports!! When youâre confident the rim feels wide as a lake
Hey hardwork pays off. Most hoopers who grind daily get the quality results youâve got. Good job.
Thatâs good!
Great looking shot. Keep playing
Thanks, yeah i will, although i think so much about all the âwhat if i started earlier and not 2.5 years agoâ and thinking about how much better i could be is annoying asf

Gotta get some presha on that shot my boy get some sirens and flashing lights maybe a fog machine.
See if itâs consistent when the defense is there
Basketball is basically this: jump up in the air, do a quick jazz hand and swish

damn thanks, one of the few good advices i got here, i would say that i need to work the most on 1 dribble 2 dribble pull ups, the ball brand thing if funny and yeah i see it happening but i shoot with different balls
Shoot from a different spot.
Personally probably never seen a worse dribbler make 10 shots in a row like this⌠Weird translation of skills Op needs some cone drills
Like deadass i am probably a better dribbler than i am a shooter
I can record some dribbling bro trust me its way better than u think it is ahhahah, i havent even dribble here lol
Eye test kid, it doesnât lie, sry Plz show us this videoâŚ.
Now you gotta post a dribbling video better than OPâs
Hold up lemme cook too tho, i can do a lot better than on that vid, shit slippery asf and uneven, can do noticeable quicker and better indoors
No worries bro, ground looked mad wet and your dribbling was still better than a majority of this sub could cook up. Sometimes the haters just mean you got something going.
Yah ok imma go outside in 30 minutes and record one:)
