Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 4374644, member: 6158"] 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.
