Imagine how efficient Curry, KD or Harden would be if they were left wide open like a PJ Tucker. Actually, you don’t have to imagine... there’s video of them hitting 50+ straight threes. For Curry, an open three is a layup. And the fact that Harden shoots around 36% on contested stepback threes is equally incredible. And KD is a bucket when he’s contested so...

[@vanessaramirez2325]

drew c agree

[@HaveFunLosingBro]

Well shooting in a gym is far different than an actual NBA game. In an actual game it is more more difficult to get your rhythm than in a low pressure gym. This is why you see NBA players miss zero out of 50 or more shots in the gym but come game time they'll sometimes miss wide open shots.

[@HaveFunLosingBro]

I'm sure PJ has shot 50/50 in a gym setting as like I said he is playing at his own pace & is fully in rythym.

[@geoclark7070]

Curry had three wide open three point attempts in 2016 for a championship and missed them all😂😂😂😂 Harden hits contested threes but misses wide open threes that’s why he’s lost to the warriors in so many WCF. KD is the only one that’s worth mentioning he’s a consistent shooter from just about anywhere open or contested.

[@Carmelo-dame.time-Anthony]

Geo Clark facts lol

[@classyassmothafucka8890]

There's actually a pretty simple reason that Lebron is weak on one baseline and Booker is weak on the other... and it comes down to old-school vs new-school shooting mechanics. The old-school conventional wisdom for shooters was to put your dominant foot down last before shooting. So if you're right handed, you get your left foot down first, and then put your right foot down pointed towards the basket. Lebron is an old-school shooter. He's right-handed, but he feels more comfortable getting the screen on his left shoulder before a shot. The old-school rationale was that this gives you a longer time to guage before putting your leading foot down... and also, when coming off a screen, there's more distance between the screened defender and your shooting hand. The problem with this rationale is that: 1. Turns out, your off-foot is more responsible for lining up your shot than your leading foot (because it supports more of your weight launching you slightly forward... plus it's more off center, making your off foot more responsible for maintaining your side to side balance. 2. You get more SPACE going around the screen this way, but the downside is that it slows down your shooting stroke because you have to turn your shooting shoulder towards the basket... which adds about 0.2 seconds to your release, which negates any distance you might have created. 3. Having to turn around the screen the hard way means that you have to correct a lot of twisting momentum in your shot, as well as some momentum pushing you onto your heels (which as any boxer can tell you, being "on your heels" is problematic because there is no balance corrective behind your heels. You're far better off using your toe side to correct your balance than your heel side) Anyway, the best example of old-school shooting is Wesley Matthews. He shoots like a righty, but for some reason, he prefers to set up his shot back to front and likes to come off screens the old way. Lebron is also like that, but to a lesser extent... and Lebron prefers to back down opponents when possible. So with Lebron, if he takes a baseline fadeaway on that side of the court, firstly, he has to set up front foot back foot (which he doesn't like). He's usually already run out of options (he tries to avoid that shot) and he doesn't like spinning that direction into a shot... so that's why that's his least efficient shot. BOOKER on the other hand, is a new-school shooter. He tries to lead into his shot with his shooting shoulder and foot. He likes to take screens on his leading shoulder. He likes to always have his leading shoulder pointed towards the basket. he prefers having time over space for his shot (much like Steph). And if you look at Steph's shooting zones... no coincidence that Curry has only one shot zone below league average... and it's the exact same zone. But why? Well: 1. There's no way to do the standard right-shoulder clockwise turn into that baseline shot for a new-school shooter. You would have to start out of bounds. 2. More times than not, he avoids that shot and only ends up there because a drive attempt failed 3. By the time he's in shooting position, there, he doesn't have toes in a good position to correct side fade (because he has to turn onto his heels). 4. In order to get that shot, he's probably either being doubled late clock, or he's got a big switched onto him (help defender). Most likely, the right play here is to throw a lob, but if he can't see the lob, he's gotta just take the shot... which of course, any time you are forced to take a shot, your percentages will go down. So it's largely because it's the shot on the floor with the weakest setup and the most escape options that... if he takes this shot, you know he's not in a good way. Small note... Lebron needs to add a dreamshake to his favorite moves. That would help him clean up that zone.

[@niweshlekhak9646]

Lebron is highly efficient from that fadeaway normally. This season he hasn't found his rhythm. Go back watch some of is best games. He has been hitting unstoppable shots from there.

[@tai685]

Thank you for the very well constructed evaluation, this deserves way more likes

[@classyassmothafucka8890]

@@niweshlekhak9646 i did notice... It might have been 2 years ago in the playoffs, he fell in love with that shot I suspect he grinded out that shot because he knew the defense would give it to him i wouldn't say that was ever NORMAL for him. It seemed to just be a momentary focus of his... just a blip in his career where he REALLY worked on that shot. I would mention though that there is an overarching trend there as well. The trend is... the earlier in the shot clock, the better the shot. This trend is very easily explained though. If you rank all possible shots on the floor and all possible coverages on those shots from 1 to 10 (10 being a wide open, high efficiency shot like a dunk or a wide open corner 3 from a 3 point specialist), you can see the shot quality get worse as the clock becomes more pressing. You are expected to put up a 10 any time that you get it... and in the first 10 seconds of any given set, nobody is going to settle for less than a 7. The next 10 seconds, if a shot hasn't gone up yet, it's time to avoid a late-clock shot, so you'll sometimes settle for a 4. The last 5 seconds, you'll settle for absoluetly anything you can get up... kind of a hail Mary. No matter how bad the shot is... it's not worse than a 24 second violation. With Lebron, part of the reason he's got certain times in his career when he performs well from that zone and from his little sweet spot 5 feet past the wing 3... is because he starts going for those shots earlier in the clock, when the defense assumes that these shots are not high quality enough for Lebron to take them. This means that those shots are made more efficient by the fact that nobody is prepared to guard them... and because Lebron has been putting extra focus into those shots. When the regular season comes around, he doesn't feel the need to invest that greatly into these little surprise shots. He just likes to mix it up for the playoffs.

[@niweshlekhak9646]

@@classyassmothafucka8890 no Lebron hit those shots ever since he came into the league. In Miami too he hit a lot of fadeaways from the right corner. That is very noticeable in the celtic game 6 in 2012. Even in his rookie season he had the mid range fadeaway. I remember his rookie season, he took a lot of those shots and made it.

Dame shot better from deep 3 than him last year though. No hate to Curry, he's obviously the influential player of this era and the goat shooter because of that. But these past few years Dame has caught up to him in terms of long distance shooting

Dame is a better deep 3 shooter than curry. Deep. I didn't say 3 in general.

[@coachgeorge5719]

I-Man I also agree. Most of Dames looks are 25-35+ feet. Currys looks are closer because when draymond sets the screen teams can sometimes only focus on curry. Which means Currys usual shots are from 23-28 ft. By all means however he is the more efficient shooter.

*talking about LeBron being the least efficient in the midrange baseline* "and is largely due to the degree of difficulty of these shots..." After just showing LaMarcus Aldridge taking the same shots

[@chasel687]

LeBron isn't as great with the fundamental back to the basket footwork as LaMarcus. Footwork is hard when your back is to the basket man.

[@chasel687]

LeBron ends up near parallel with the floor because of how he sets up for the fader which is why he struggles with it in traditional post ups.

[@colton-sinning]

AFootball Guy2003 I understand it’s difficult lol I’m just saying that they touched on LaMarcus and didn’t say anything about difficulty

“Everybody knows James Harden travels on his step back” would be a more appropriate opening line

[@club6525]

Considering gather steps and such, 3 steps are legal in the NBA.

[@TydensDad]

Club 6 Yeah I understand the rules and what a gather is. If youve already gathered the ball and take two steps, not while driving to the basket, then its a travel. He literally gathers the ball and takes two steps. He already establishes his pivot and then picks it back up. The league dont care about that though cause that dont make them money thats why they dont call it. Thats why LeBron gets away with what he does. Thats why you got people like Harden shooting 100 fts. The game is rigged to be entertaining for money. Thats why its legal in the NBA. There wasnt ever anything about a “gather” back in the 70s, 80s, 90s and even 00s

[@club6525]

@@TydensDad Once you gather the ball, you are allowed two steps even when not driving. The thing that makes it weird for him is how he delays his gather which allows him to execute a "double stepback".

[@TydensDad]

Club 6 i mean yeah youre not wrong but to clearify on the driving to the basket and 2 steps you cant be just taking two steps. Like it if youre in motion with or upon receiving the ball then you can take two steps but if youre stopped or just standing there you cant just take two steps you gotta dribble ya know? And to go with the Harden thing him picking the ball up in his step back “the gather” thats whats delayed its like hes using two gather steps instead of one

[@club6525]

@@TydensDad You actually can just take 2 steps. For example, you dribble the ball once, jump up and gather the ball mid-air, and then land. The first foot to touch the ground is your gather step. You can then take a nap and after that take 2 steps. I don't think you can just catch the ball and then take two steps though. However, when you receive the ball via a pass or gains possession of a loose ball, the gather is defined as the point where a player gains control of the ball so it may be possible. I believe the aforementioned process is what he does. That is completely legal.

“Isolation out of style” - laughs in Houston

[@drewc1179]

If Harden took less stepback 3s and more open 3s, he might be in the convo for 50-40-90 club since he’s a high 80s free throw shooter and among the most efficient in the lane.

[@motivationtheory6999]

I'm a rockets fan and I agree with u... james takes too many contested 3s...

[@dimo2423]

drew c Its part of the whole iso thing to be able to shoot stepbacks. if harden found more open threes then the team would have to lower his usage and run more plays, changing the entire team and the rockets playbook.

[@allen62]

dimo we played without Harden having to do the iso all the time when we had CP3 and were around last in the standings then Harden said that’s enough and carried us to a top 3 seed and a conference finals berth and didn’t even get MVP for it mans had like 4 50 point games in a month and shot a regular season dagger over Dray and Klay and averaged 30 with 6+ assist in the postseason

[@Thanosdidtherighthing]

drew c Not every player needs to be in the 50-40/90 club. The tough shots harden takes attracts so much defensive attention, it opens up opportunities for other players on the roster. Harden is very similar to Kobe minus the defense.
