Message: [QUOTE="FanHam, post: 3335290, member: 7690"] That's a jump shot. When I mentioned "waist high release" I was talking about her set shot. She did a shoot around, possibly a game of "horse" with an African American man, I didn't catch his identity, somewhere in the video, midway through if my memory serves me. She hit everything, but like I said, there was that waist high release. Chest high or shoulder high is what I consider to be a standard release point for a set shot. Possibly she was shooting from outside her normal range, and was "flinging" shots, in which case I wasn't looking at her usual set shot. And by the way, I believe it's physically impossible to release a jump shot from the waist. Correct me if I'm wrong. As far as her jump shot goes, it's a little unconventional, as well. In the picture in your post, notice how her right hand is at "7 o'clock" instead of "6 o'clock". Most good jump shooters have their shooting hand directly under the ball. To me, it doesn't matter. I grew up in Indiana and, believe me, I saw some good shooters. One of the best jump shooters I ever saw put his shooting hand almost on the side of ball and released his shot with sidespin, and hit almost everything. The rotation on her set shot appears to be perfect: direct backward rotation. That "7 o'clock" hand position on her jumper HAS to produce an off-center rotation. That's all I'm saying. Her shot is a little unorthodox, but that doesn't make it wrong if it works for her, which it apparently does. I'm also not suggesting she change anything. Read my post. I think she's great! One question, why do you feel the need to use SIX question marks, and what does that signify? I have a hard time interpreting eccentric punctuation, like dozens of dots for an ellipsis, which is properly three dots. I assume six question marks to mean some sort of outrage. I hope I'm wrong.
