@coachdavelove: “Keep the ball moving at one constant speed.” I used to teach it too. Here’s what Steph Curry’s shot really shows. It’s a common cue: keep the ball moving fluidly, at one speed, through the shot. It makes sense. The more the ball changes speed, the harder it should be to repeat. The problem is, the evidence flat out rejects it. Every NBA player has significant changes in speed through their shooting motion. To reach the rim from around the NBA three-point line with good arc, the average NBA player needs about 30 ft/s of release speed. Distance, arc and release height move it a little, but it’s fairly universal. Watch the path’s color in the loop: green and yellow where the ball is fast, orange where it’s slow. Curry has one of the most one-motion, continuous shots in the NBA. Early in the lift the ball is moving over 20 ft/s. At the set point it slows to 13 ft/s, less than half its release speed. Then it accelerates again to 30 ft/s. Players with more of a two-motion shot slow the ball even more. Nikola Jokić also releases around 30 ft/s on NBA threes, but the ball slows to 6.5 ft/s at his set point. Klay Thompson is around 9. That doesn’t make either one or two motion shots better than the other. Both have advantages and drawbacks. Keeping the ball moving keeps generating force, but it’s a longer path to control. Slowing at the set point works like a reset button for control, but it takes more strength to get back to 30 ft/s. Do young players need to keep the ball accelerating through the set point? Maybe. Without the strength to get the ball back up to speed by release, they may need to accelerate from the beginning. Possible, but that’s theory, not evidence. What the evidence does support: once a player has the strength for the shot, we don’t actually want the ball traveling at one continuous speed. The “physics of shooting” version sounds logical, but it isn’t backed up by how people actually shoot. Our job is to understand the real truth, and the trade-offs that come with it. Comment: what’s something you used to teach that the evidence changed your mind on? #stephcurry #shootingcoach #basketballshooting #shotmetrics #basketballcoach

TeeRav :

If it teaches you anything, let it teach you to pass the ball around until you and your teammates get layups. Y'all aren't Steph Curry so PASS THE BALL

Username :

Give them bread and entertainment and they will argue over who has best form wtf

korapinostyle :

Problem is that’s not the only way he shoots during a game. Maybe a catch n shoot 3 but it’s different when he comes of the dribble. He rips the ball into the pocket much faster than what is demonstrated here. This does not mean he does this on all shot types

Swade405 :

Its in the legs

You all don’t know the Secret.

Jacobfay :

That should have been his logo

Safety1st :

Stop teaching kids to shoot like Steph Curry! Basketball is art, and art is self-expression. Bird, Hodges, Miller, Allen, and Curry all had different shots. Teach fundamentals, not imitation. SHOOT YOUR SHOT!😁

feelinggood2me :

no delay in his shot pocket

Corey Brown :

It’s one smooth motion. No hitches, no “segments”.

Ferriva Sports⚽️🏀🏈⚾️ :

Mind-blowing analysis! Everyone says 'keep it fluid at one speed' but your data proves the opposite. Curry going from 20 ft/s to 12 ft/s at set point and still being the most continuous shooter - that's the evidence! Thank you for debunking this myth with science. Saved this video!

Everyone has their own rules for throwing.

chunkygrass :

i think its more about your base for your shot. steph does a hop step or gather step when he goes for a shot. others will take 2 steps. yes 1 fluid motion is good, but that how most people shoot

i am moon 🇰🇭 :

I'm glad Only me that shoot exactly like him 🙆❤️just learn it recently

YW Anth :

jaylen green

FSG Evol :

Just to not green

Hunter James Douglas :

thats my shot pattern

jacub :

can u do luka

Username :

Over complicating throwing a ball throw an hoop

CJ23 :

It fits hit build a lot anybody taller should learn to shoot like Klay or Ray Allen 7 footers KD or MPJ shot is unblockable

His form isn't great. He is just a naturally gifted shooter like his dad, Dell. Cant emulate him. Reggie Miller was the same. Okay form, Naturally gifted shooter. Reggie would sometimes shoot knuckleballs and they'd go in. Form wise id go with Wesley Person, Allan Houston or Ray Allen. They had great form and were good shooters.

M S :

his hand and eye coordination is extremely gifted and that gift has been watered and cultivated for years

mfs stay tryna copy

Prefer to see his real video in slow motion from 6 Different angles, Left, right front, Left top and bottom up....so far no one made it......u can be the one to start 🥰🥰🥰🥰 But this a good one toooooo
