Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5147061, member: 10435"] 1) I played 4 years of high school and 4 years of college and also coached. So we have a semantics problem. How do you differentiate Curry's 3 point shot and MJ's or Kobe's or Brunson's? Or Paige's pull up from 5 feet vs. her 3 point shot? No difference in your definition? I see a major difference. One is a classic pure jump shot where the player reaches the top of their jump, then releases, doesn't release on the way up. That's what Ash does and that's why legs are so important. Paige has both shots one of which (her 3) is a hybrid of a set and jump shot. 2) So every shot from every player where they leave the floor is a jump shot, including layups, hook shots, etc? How about a foul shot where a player leaves their feet as they shoot? We both know that is not the case. 3) It's your body that is squared up, not your feet but your feet are squared up to the rim meaning they are in plane with it. If your body is at an angle to the rim, or your feet are it's a much harder shot. Every good shooter squares up when they receive the pass for a shot or when they stop their dribble to pull up for one. Watch Ash's feet. Sometimes she is not squared up and still shoots the J but often that shot misses. This debate should be about Ash and her mechanics which I think are exemplary. As I said I think it is an energy and confidence issue. Also, a great defender can stop almost anyone. Not a Paige and not a JuJu though. If you ask me who is a better offensive player it's Paige. She goes to her left and has every shot needed and can create one on the fly. [/QUOTE]
