Allen Iverson - The Art of Jumpshooting

[@stantonh1452]

When I first started watching actual film of iverson and not just highlights I was surprised by how much of his game consisted of jump shots either off the catch from a screen or off the dribble. He was a very good shooter even though numbers due to volume and difficulty might say otherwise.

[@icebboylol8822]

exactly. he was great at shooting even in college

[@jeromemccollom936]

No, if he has a low shooting percentage on jumpers from 2pters and 3 pters, then he was not a good shooter. Iverson was an ineffective shooter and below average shooter for a shooting guard, especially a starter. Any player who played some time they can show highlights.

[@jeromemccollom936]

I can watch his mid range jumper all day! It was always a swish

[@wantedprince03]

Iverson’s jumper was under rated, his mid-range was deadly. Combine his deadly mid-range with amazing finishing skills and impeccable speed and quickness. Its not hard to realize why he has so many scoring titles. True Legend!

allen is one of nba nasty ankle breakers and best shooters

[@s4mp_founder]

Another reason why he was a better player than Jordan. The same with Kobe. They had shot restrictions. Jordan did, he remained in the 15 to 20 ft boundary to take his shots. Then as the game progressed many of his defenders became slouched in guarding and if not. They were charged obsessively will foul calls. Meanwhile Iverson shot everywhere and made his defenders keep up with his agility.

[@emoney8871]

Jordan was much more efficient than AI and had no restrictions on his pullup jumpers. MJ shot everywhere as well and separating was like no other

[@jackjax7921]

LeBron aint even a scorer but he beat all them on scoring😂

[@s4mp_founder]

@@jackjax7921 Of course, he did, he been playing for 18 or 19 years by now. But what's a better question is. Lebron been playing for that long, and stating to be this supposed GOAT. But he only won 4 championships ? With apparently the way his current team playing, not anymore in his future.

[@jeromemccollom936]

If you actually think Iverson was not only better then Kobe but Jordan, you have beyond drank the Iverson Kool aid. Jordan took good shots, that is why he shot over 50 percent while scoring 30 pts for his career. Iverson barely shot over 40 percent for his career. They are not in the same ballpark. I might as well say Paul Mokeski was a better center then Hakeem

[@s4mp_founder]

@@jeromemccollom936 Can create whatever excuse you like. But when both shared the floor in bouts. Iverson victor the matchups, not your so called GOAT.

from this vid it’s literally him with just amazing handles and a great jumper. It’s not like the shots he took were high percentage shots. He was just knocking them down.

the fact is if my jump shots had been filmed, I could have a video labeled on "the art of jump shooting" and I am a very mediocre jump shooter. But heck you could show a video of me draining shots in a game with someone guarding me. Iverson was not a good jump shooter, these are just showing his hits, you could do that with Adam Morrison or other bad NBA players if you wanted

[@Roberto-ip5fr]

You can do that with any nba player dumbass😂

[@xsakuta8876]

what makes you say that

[@jeromemccollom936]

@@xsakuta8876 iverson shot under 40 percent (mid 30s some seasons) on his 2 pt jump shots. That's bad. That is why i said it.

[@xsakuta8876]

@jeromemccollom936 no offense but if you’re gonna use stats then you should know better than to exclude context. his field goal percentage was bad when the offense was literally just him. If we look at the stats then we can see his fg% increased to 45% when he went to denver, in his short time at Memphis he was almost 60% from the field.
