Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 2318868, member: 6696"] Ya, the three point shot has changed alot. Ray Allen style shooting with a really really high jump and release point is out of fashion. Players are not taught to shoot like ray at all any more. Basically because in an old style shot you get less of your momentum going into the ball because at the top of the jump parabola (high release point) the is no upward movement left. It requires more arm movement. With a modern shot with legs moving into the ball on the way up (but released lower), players can shoot with more power from farther away accurately. They dont need to use the arms much different to shoot from 28 ft away, just use a little more jump. The disadvatage is that mid-range shooting that requires a very high release, players must learn almost a completely different form. The 3 point shot wont work, its too low. But in an NBA that doesnt value long 2s, this form is perfect. IMO korver and klay are the two to look at for close to perfect perfect shooting. Theres a really good youtube series that breaks down modern shotmaking. [MEDIA=youtube]ZZ1cR0tcWuc[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
