HEAD TO TOE Ep.1 - D'Angelo Russell

[@josiahhenry367]

Please upload these A LOT! The future you see is one i hope i love breakdowns like this! You and splash lab are the best basketball breakdown channels and tbh you're my favorite. Splash lab doesn't upload as much as you lol Head to toe ep. 100 here we come!

[@jamesbryant6161]

Josiah Henry AGREED

[@josiahhenry367]

Mamba Mentality whats up man Kobe and Lakers 4 life!!! I swear if splash lab and scot shot made a channel together 😂 we'd all be a curry, klay or dame dolla!

[@Toney1K]

I love D’Angelo Russel’s jumpshot, because mine is pretty similar. Thank you for the insights!

[@Tjaiiforever_1k]

Same here bro

[@bepe4279]

Got one here too

[@ssXFROSTY]

If we’re talking about power into the ball the thumb flick and inward knee bend helps make everything effortless!! This is why curry can shoot a three and turn around knowing it’s going in. The thumb makes for just the right amount of energy transfer into the ball with little effort from the body

[@arunjeyanthan3179]

Thanks for the in-depth analysis can you please make a Head to Toe video on Stephen Curry's shot similar to this one so i can implement several aspects to my jumpshot

[@ianmcintyre4840]

Dude you really gotta do one for Klay. Really bummed you stop doing these

[@emmanuelslime1251]

very detailed

[@yaboii_ej2362]

Tre good and Jay Jones!

[@markusdobson576]

Thank you for starting off right

[@Tjaiiforever_1k]

I shoot just like this bro...every says it and he's my favorite player

[@benjaminschwartz5277]

I know I'm late, but me too bro

[@theencoder1575]

Please do a Trae Young episode because there are lots of undersized point guards (like me) who would need that shooting advice, because it helps a lot to be able to shoot well when you are a short, skinny guard, and my opinion is that you didn't say that much about his technique in the breakdown video.

[@okeythegoat2332]

ur back 💖💖💖😥

[@aaronlo6452]

Kyle Korver next please!

[@stef220090]

john Wall please

[@rockets1234]

Do why John wall isn’t a consistent shooter

[@enriquesilverio4339]

Can I send you a video of my shot so you can break it down ?

[@88jayho]

When is the Steph curry EP 3 head to toe?

[@pocketsswole4239]

Dipping isnt natural to me so i forget to do it and it is hard to do for me

[@jspears19]

Your probably dipping and you don’t even know it. It’s your body natural movement before a jump shot. Unless your not jumping on the shot.

[@amire.6295]

Do more what the hell is taking so long

[@redianosaur2740]

Do Damian Lillard next

[@josiahhenry367]

Scot i have a question. At about 8:34. I was just wondering why would we want to change our shot from a 1 motion from the 3 point line to a 2 motion inside the 3 point? Wouldnt having 2 different jump shots in game confuse ppl and mess them up? I get that sometimes ppl have to take the ball up at a different shot line because of the defense but they dont really train for that. Just wondering why we would want two jumpshots

[@writingwithsounds]

Josiah Henry It doesn't, as one and two motion shooting is natural. The reason two motion shooting can be consistent in mid range is that it requires less power/less arch to make a mid range shot, and if u use a one motion shot, it for me at least, misses short or long. It doesn't confuse people as long as its your own muscle memory.

[@josiahhenry367]

HardenTooSaucy6 yea i mean ik more elite mid range players that have 2 motions like kobe, mj etc. But i cant think of one player that has a 1 motion shot at the 3 and 2 motion shot inside the 3.

[@writingwithsounds]

Josiah Henry As you could see, DLO, Damian Lillard, and even Steph at times all do this. It's all just natural body mechanics

[@ScotShotBasketball]

It’s a question of balancing the needs that the game demands at varying distances from the hoop. When you are far away you need the following - strength from your legs and a quick overall shot. When you are in the mid-range you need the following: high release point/elevation to shoot over defenders who will be closer to you the closer you get to the rim. That’s why when you’re deep, you need a one motion. When you’re in close and likely to be defended, you need a two motion, high jump shot.

[@nathang9034]

Josiah Henry Klay sometimes uses 2motion in heavily contested midrange shots

[@nameless5410]

Do Stephen curry

[@mark.tapado]

make steph curry

[@basketmental]

Everything you talked about its sooo accurate, but I think the main reason Russell has such a set point its because he is right eye dominant, opposite to the shooting hand, the same can be said with KD and has been really famous with Lonzo shot... Appreciate your work bud, keep it up!

[@ximing4776]

As a lefty if he really aims with the eye on the opposite side, it is really hard to mimic since general right handed people aims with their right eye.

[@anthersite1799]

That sucks for me I guess. (I’m right eye and hand dominant)

[@bepe4279]

@@anthersite1799 doesnt nessesarily mean you cant use his shot. you just need to alter the shot a little. like how kyrie irving brings it from his left side, but it does release from his right side.

[@jojoprocess2820]

@@bepe4279 Sure but theres 0 reason to copy anyone's shot. Shoot the way thats best for you. Copy the things they do right like shot timing but why copy pointless and actually hurtful stuff like bringing it up the wrong side?

[@davidkelly1507]

Another great video, ignore the idiots, keep fighting the good fight of logic and reason. There's a distinct lack of intelligence in the basketball community when it comes down to actually analysing things and discussing topics logically, it's refreshing to see a channel such as yours do that. Another analogy to the one you made is in lifting. Many people trust the bro advice of some huge bodybuilder just because he's big, whereas I'd rather listen to the tiny sports scientist that actually worked out said formula etc P.s. Shot looks wet, and just for the record, I reconstructed my shot based on a large portion of advice from this channel and it's significantly improved

[@bepe4279]

true. i find his videos way more informative than most coaches i find. using his mechanics also helped my shot, because i am cross eye dominant (right handed, left eye) and im not strong asf lol

[@rorymacneil7070]

Great video. Love this new series and look forward to seeing future editions. It's fascinating to see how all the relevant elements relate to each other, and after you begin building up a 'library' of complete looks at the best shooters, I predict the ability to compare across multiple players will let you and your subscribers discover new insights. Fantastic!

[@norelation3]

You’re gonna blow up someday bro. When anyone needs shooting advice I give them your name

[@ScotShotBasketball]

Appreciate it 👊

[@frankfurt2812]

@@ScotShotBasketball can you give us more Carmelo Anthony jumpshots ?? it think he has the perfect and goodlooking jumpshot. And T-mac has the most badass looking jumpshot.

[@nickkearneyy]

Love this. Easily the best shooting analysis I’ve ever seen. Great stuff👍🏾

[@RibsBjj]

Do K Love! He said he changed his form a couple days ago

[@konespeed22]

I seem to have a lot of issues after I lift and practice shooting. It seems that I forget my form and because of that I lose confidence in my feet placement and stuff. However watching the video refreshed my memory a bit to use my off leg to stabilize my jump shot so I'm not leaning too much. This should help me out quite a bit. Still trying to fix my timing on my release though. I feel like I should be releasing earlier, and I have a two motion shot.

[@33bigmoney]

not sure if you mentioned but today 80% players shoot forwards (the jump is slightly towards the basket) when they shoot 3s. That's what makes it much eaiser for them to shoot

[@kimmincheol0118]

9:07 today, russell is lier!

[@jaimejordan2013]

Make a HEAD TO TOE episode on michael jordan's shooting form please

[@jovansaggu4090]

trae young would be better tho

You didn't say where exactly dlo's hands is placed

[@ballerz9460]

He uses the palm rotation

New series is straight flames, please do much more

[@Xairic]

Finally a new vid from the goat

[@itbelikedatsometimes7332]

i love these keep em going bro

[@zhenkista5893]

If you shoot a ball, and the ball reach your set point, but before releasing it, what is the direction of your palm holding the ball, is it upward or facing the rim?

[@MRCSANY]

It’s kind of satisfying finding another left-handed player lol great analysis!

[@isaiahimv366]

I didn't really understand one motion shooting can u do a redo video of one motion shooting.(it would be really appreciated)

[@davidschultz2198]

Mechanically speaking, thumb flick from the side of the ball puts sideways rotation on the ball. This would affect the backspin given from your shooting hand. overall great video!!

[@Eshaw205]

Hey can you talk about the "release point" as in do they release going up. Or more outward.. hopefully I don't sound crazy

[@johonanandrewgomes7593]

Kyle korver!

[@Dragon4290]

I know that you already made two videos on Stephen Curry, but could you do something like this on him? Like an extreme breakdown of everything he does.

[@sysevigny8062]

Great video very insightful and helpful!

[@spidey64dude]

I have my left foot pointed more to the right and my right foot pointed to the basket when I shoot

[@wavyykev8928]

Do one for kobe please

[@christiankampp9644]

Could you do one with victor oladipo, because he shoots differently kind of like how d'angelo shoots, and that there isn't really a video about oladipo's jumpshot.

[@ScotShotBasketball]

Oladipo is for sure an upcoming analysis

[@clarencealexander3287]

I can’t rally understand the turn. Maybe cuz he’s left handed

Everyone spam Lebron's twitter with this video, maybe he'll fix his free throw now and who knows, maybe he gives the channel a shout out.

[@victorgratacap8785]

First of all thank you for the vid, once again really entertaining.I think that the unique knoledge that you shared, along with the method and esthetic quality you have been able to maintain on this channel earns you the "authority" you were talking about at the end. You propose a real démonstration (hunting général terms explaining every concept) allowing us to avoid practical mistakes, and incorect theorical interprétations by ourselves. And by the way I am very curious, how did you ended disserting shooting mechanics with three years of experiance. Did you applyed some principles gathered on previous studies in another discipline ? oh that was a LOOONG blowjob ! But I have also some random points I would like you to cover if You please :Head tilt towards non shooting side (I belive curry does is)Hybrding a shoot/floater (used by players who don't shoot from close range) due (my hypothesis) to their "perfectioned for long range" upper body mechanics unadaped to "close" mid range.The difference between sraight (jodan) and relaxed (curry) wrist flexion at the end of the relelse with the shooting hand in different situation (open vs contested shot) and how each player should pick one (or both) of those skills regarding their playstyleThe drible moves used by some players to make ter jumpshot quicker and more consistant (regarding timing and handplacement , like Lillard with his pound-pull up from deep)

[@ualreadykno2K]

This is so underrated. I am misguided by many peole including coaches and friends. Now I am 25 and only starts to shoot better.

[@rosssmith8521]

Thanks so much for these videos. I study human biomechanics myself, and you do a fantastic job of relaying technique differences without bashing styles that clearly work on a high level. This channel deserves the clout some of the sillier, more clickbait marketing videos on shooting.

Love this series plz do more. One note though... Could you talk more on the subject of hand placement and release and where your fingers should go and what they should do in relation to the basket during the release? Thank you (Also could you do James Harden or Klay Thompson next? I am quite interested in their release and the shape their hands make during the release)

[@adityamangalampalli665]

[@dragoneyerx7170]

when you talk about kd putting the ball on his left side, is that reason that lonzo also does it?

[@josiahhenry367]

Dragoneyer X yep

[@ScotShotBasketball]

Yes

[@BoRickersonMcFoosters]

His is far more exaggerated and Russell’s release is far more pure and what some would call traditional

[@gregllo424]

I was thinking the inward knee bend is also a source of power. I love your analysis!

[@hankhill2732]

Kyle korver would make for a great vid like this imo

[@zdmfg9335]

Really enjoyed the video. I think this series will display the level of detail that you are able to reach. I'm no shooting expert, but I do have one suggestion. You may already do this, but I didn't see it in the video. Make sure that you shoot when dribbling from each hand. I only saw you dribbling with your right and then pulling up. That could seriously limit you if someone guarding you discovers that you could only shoot off of a right hand bounce. I try to be dynamic and be able to shoot from both dribbles, but I'm more comfortable with a right-hand dribble, like it seems you may be

[@ScotShotBasketball]

Well noticed. I do prefer the right hand to contact the ball first when I shoot in practice because it lets me find the seams. I feel that makes me more consistent which is good when I film those videos for instagram. I do practice off the left though (more off-camera) because, like you say, it's important to be versatile for in-game situations.
