Give me a little Shaun Marion.

AJ seems to be moving more fluidly, last year he seemed to be almost ready to tip over, like a young colt. Is it only me or does he look "football player buff".
 
Actually quick view I like his catch and release as well as that quick dribble and step back better than stand still-shoot. Again just breezing through that video I like the way he looks when he has less time.

Better no matter but we will see. Looks good though stud athlete no doubt hope he makes enough to give him space and confidence to the rack!

I can’t believe he’s still shooting from his chest/chin… how have they not raised that up to proper position smh I only expect him to be spot up shooter but form still needs more work… but overall I just hope he’s more aggressive attacking the hoop looking to get fouled etc
 
Still brings it up from his waist. Hard to get a shot off against a good man defender you would think. Phenomenal athleticism though.

Not being a smart ass, just genuinely curious why that would have changed. Seemed to be pretty sound science.

Short answer: Steph Curry

Longer answer: power production. Shooting at the apex of your shot means you end up above your defender for the release, but you also have no upward momentum propeling the ball, so you have to shoot more with your arms. That is why you see much longer range shooting than you used to in the league... they can shoot from farther with less effort.

Thank you.

I think I actually understand that.

You should be a teacher or something.

Steph Curry is at least 4 inches shorter than Andre. How does he do it? This is a serious question. I’m not being flip.

Edit: Seeing the answer above!

I kind of get what he’s saying - look at where guys like Steph start their shot … chest or high shoulders. Andre takes it a step further though and starts it at his waist.

This kid is a worker. If he puts it all together look out.

Imagine if he's had even a moderately decent coach as a kid who taught him to shoot. He'd be an NBA all-star already.

Perhaps because to be as good as Ray Allen you would have to be "Everyday Ray" committed at an otherwise insane level of dedication. The new method appears to be a more simple unified one body motion including the release whereas the older method seems more like a more complicated "up (legs) and away (arms/hands) release" two motions with the second motion only from the arms, wrists and hands. The new method appears to have to rely more on the position and quickness of the release whereas the older method seems to thwart the defender by getting to a place where it cannot be defended against. I am a very "casual fan" but if you can put the ball in the hole more simply it is easier and "if it works use it". I remember a guy named Hal Greer who was one of the early jump shooters and he took it to the level of even jumpshooting his freethrows in order to keep perfecting his stroke.

Hal must have loved to watch Ray Allen play.

Still looks funky with a low release but certainly more fluid. He just needs to be able to keep defenses honest. I hope he's been working on a short/mid-range pull-up too. That would help his game a lot.

That stroke makes a pull up off the dribble very difficult and easier to block. Most coaches would work to change that shot at an early age. I hope he can hit the 3 when open, I am not a fan of his mechanics.
