Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 2463450, member: 6696"] It really is fascinating how the modern jumpshot has changed because of Curry. Well, not just Curry... Korver, Thompson, etc. have all been a part of it. That classic balanced, high-jumping, 2-motion, Ray Allen-type shot is no longer the "ideal" jump shot. A more fluid, more set-like shot is becoming the norm, and shooting is improving because of it. Ray Allen, Michael Jordan, Kobe, all those guys. A kyrie or a Durant kind of have a hybrid shot. A Smoother 2-motion shot, but barely. There's really no "set point" in a modern jump shot. The thing with releasing at the apex of the shot is they ends up needing a 2-motion shot because they weren't using all the power from their legs. The 1-motion Curry-style shot has revolutionized the game. Range on shooting has increased, and will continue to increase as the game changes. [/QUOTE]
