The difference is he shoots from in front of his eyes instead of above, so at the moment of release he can't see the rim. THAT's why its a motion that is generally frown upon by shooting coaches (and probably for no real good reason - maybe because kids with weaker arms shoot that way and it breeds the wrong assumption that it MUST be bad form for a pro to use, with stats weighed down by people newer to the game). Curry, like any good shooter, has just worked hard enough that his touch and feel from anywhere on the floor is better than his peers. And thats what a good shooter does. That he combines that touch with a quick release means he gets more shots away past defenders. MJ, for instance, did the total opposite - he could ludicrously delay that release and still maintain that touch and feel. Equally good at getting by defenders hands.

Steph developed that motion because he was a small kid. Most small kids develop extra power by letting their elbow fly out and slinging the ball Steph’s dad was one of the best NBA spot shooters with great form, so he wouldn’t let Steph bring his elbow out. So Steph had to learn to synchronize his whole body to get the power and therefore the range he wanted to emulate his dad’s shooting. Those adjustments made as a kid translated to a 6’3” adult give a unique shooting style. Bird developed his shooting style as a younger teen before he was so tall to get his shot off against the adult black guys that came down from Indianapolis to work at the hotels in French Lick. Reggie Miller developed his style because it was the only way to get the ball to the basket shooting over his mother’s roses. Sometimes those adjustments made as kids give unique advantages as adults.

So you’re right! In fact his technique is sort of in between the typical NBA jump shot and the technique you’ll sometimes see in Women’s College Basketball. I remember asking my father, “Why is she shooting like that?” He explained that these players in the women’s league with less upper body strength are being coached to load more before the shot. Not only were they moving their arms like Curry, they were loading the ball below their shoulders and flexing their entire body into the shot. These days, wnba players are on average more athletic and don’t shoot like that as often. But if you ever wanna impress someone by sounding woke, you can tell someone, “Curry shoots with the power of a man 12 inches taller because he shoots like a girl.”

Glad you brought this subject up. Pete Maravich (in the DVD 'Homework Basketball-Shooting) talks about the early release, but if memory serve me well, he meant releasing the ball on the way up, just at or slightly before th top of his jump. Of course, Maravich knew a thing about shooting too. Curry is not only a great shooter, but had an exceptional opportunity, his father being the NBA 3-point guy and of course Curry's NBA coach holding records of all kinds. If you want to see a great shooter, look up Ted Saint-Martin. ENTIRELY unique but a real challenge to analyze. After all, he has held the world records for free throws for over 50 years. His last one (age 82?) was 5221 in a row, over 7 hours. He told me his favorite record is 30+ 30 footers in ten minutes.

also that one motion shot is one of the reason he’s never really been a huge mid range scorer. Two motion is a lot more useful in the midrange area
@anonymousl5150 Жыл бұрын
He's shot a ton of midranges in his earlier years on high percentage. It's just that he won't take a traditional post up midrange, all his midrange comes off the dribble after he threatens a drive and the defender gaps him. A classic 2 motion shot reacts to what the defender is doing and involves a rather high jump in conjunction. Steph's arms were also not this acute angled earlier in his career. The very flicky motion started appearing more as he grew older. The reason may not be for more power but for more ball stability. Steph does not have large hands and flattening out the palm with an acute angle would mean the ball would be more stable on his hand and also require less stability from his off hand. Guys like Haliburton practically shoot with 1 hand these days and it has proven to be remarkably accurate when the offhand doesn't get in the way. The other key formula is Steph has the most narrow leg base in the nba. A jump shot always starts with the legs. It's like in tennis serves Roddick always said the legs are the most important thing, he too had an unusually narrow base which gave him a ton of quick upward power and made his serve extremely powerful for his height. There's a slight tilt to the way he bends his knees too, which add more spring like compression. He does not have to jump much to shoot from 40 feet. A narrow base also means he can shoot off the dribble compared to someone like a Klay Thompson (who used to have a decently narrow base but lost it)

All that I'm pointing out is that MECHANICALLY his jump shot works just as well from the midrange as at the 3point line. Modern Steph takes about half his shots from the 3pt line and the other 40% on drives, so that leaves very little room to shoot midrange shots at all. 50% from midrange is only 33% from 3 in point value, so he would only be hurting his performance if he didn't shoot absurd 60% on midrange shots (which no midrange shooter has ever come close to achieving).

Playing with friends into my late 30's, I found my shot was starting to get blocked. I had gained weight, and I wasn't jumping as high. I reworked my shot into a one-motion technique. I released the ball lower, but I had shaved off like 0.3 seconds from my total shot time, which gave my friends less time to block me. It took a few months for it to start to feel natural, but I think I make more 3's now (and I'm into my mid-40s) as well.
@seansachs6105 Жыл бұрын
Great video! One other big advantage of Steph's shooting form is that because the angle is so tight and his set point is relatively low, he can release it very quickly, which is important for him as he's not going to win verticality or length contests. Because the shot is one motion and the angle is tight, he doesn't have to bend his knees much at distance, and instead flexes his wrist harder at the end of the movement, which makes it more consistent from different areas of the floor. A lot of the best shorter / smaller shooters - Nash, Mark Price, West, and even Steph's own dad, Dell - generally have one motion (or close to one motion) and lower set points, and I'd be interested to learn about the biomechanics of that.

The mechanics of Steph's shot are interesting. But it's his brain that makes him the greatest shooter in NBA history. He is able to shoot in many other ways. One-handed. One-footed. Scoops. Floaters. I've seen him hit a shot after falling down - from the floor. There are two characteristics in Steph's brain which must be present to shoot as well as he does: an extraordinary and intuitive grasp of the 3D space in which he is operating; and extremely effective callibration of muscle memories with the 3D space he perceives. The former is pure talent. The latter is the product of relentless practice and repetition. The mechanics help. But the magic happens in his head.

I've read a book talking about the Physics in basketball, and the ideal angle is the one for a b.ball to reach the hoop with minimum speed, which makes sense as least force is required to exert on the b.ball and weakest force reacted on the b.ball if it glanced the rim. 2:46 But high arc shot indeed has greater margins for error to successfully be made due to its higher entrance angle. These two factors counteract each other, and either way can still work well, depending on the type of skill the player possesses. Typical examples are: Kawhi Leonard used to shoot the b.ball flat with minimum-speed angles, and his b.ball often went in even after a few bounces off the rim, while Steph can make really long bomb from nearly the mid-court by taking advantage of his high arc shot. 🤔

Yea i myself noticed it as well, Curry is what i call a push shot (many kids that cant shoot the range usually have to push with two hands to get the distance) and like your typical flick shot (bring the ball to your head, release the ball towards the apex). I think the magic in the push shot is that your legs doesnt have to be positioned well unlike a flick shot which requires basically your entire body frame to be in like a statue, frozen in the air for a brief moment to allow your shot to hit the release point. Anothe effective push shooter i can recall is tyrese haliburton which is way funkier looking and slower, but works well too 😅

your analogy of the spring being compressed more to create more power is interesting, but muscles don't actually work quite the same. I'm currently studying for a major in kinesiology and biomechanics and there is a concept known as the length-tension relationship that explains the amount of tension muscles produce based on how stretched they are. I won't explain it entirely but here's an example: if you think about your legs as a spring, squatting until your knees are fully bent (where your butt is to the ground basically) would be like a fully compressed spring, but that isn't how people load up before jumping as high as possible. similarly, curry's more acute elbow flexion likely puts the tricep muscle (the arm muscle most responsible for generating the power in a basketball shot) in an overly stretched position meaning it isn't optimal for power output. now of course shooting isn't a matter of raw power, so it isn't a problem for curry that he's losing some power from his tricep. I actually suspect that because curry's shooting form is more fluid, more power from his legs is transferred into his shot (you sort of also said this about the one motion) which allows him to use his arms even less, though it's hard to say without more scientific testing. this video has some interesting bio-mechanical speculation. I think the field of kinesiology/biomechanics would highly appeal to you if you are interested in analyzing movement!

in the midrange i have the typical 2 motion shot, but i can't develop the same power on the 3 point so I end up with the 1 motion there... it sucks because its so inconsistent and i dont think i've fully developed my shot in either case

The fact that he releases it so fast you can't even see it unless the footage is slowed down is ridiculous, the second he starts jumping the ball is jumping away from him. It's ridiculous

Bill Sharman, star in the 50's, had a very similar shot. I tried it but I couldn't control distance well so I went back to Elvin Haye's shot. Again, with less success. Today, there is so much space that form can be different. In the 60's you had to keep the ball up or you would lose it. Oscar was the master.

The other advantage Curry has with his single motion shot is that his release point is less affected by late game dead legs. For example, Klay’s shot is always at the top of his jump, but his release point may be six inches lower late in the game which causes his shot to front rim off.
