Favorite NBA player shooting form?

[Knicksfever2010]

I used to be a fan of Allan Houston, but as I get older I find myself watching TONS of YouTube and trying to copy MJ's shooting form.

What say you?

Ray Allen.

Kobe

Jake Layman!

Cross between Michael Kidd Gilchrist and Shawn Marion.

^^^Yes.

[Lord P]

J.R. Swish has a silky smooth shooting form.
Irl I would say my form is closest to Melo's.

I thought you weren't allowed to jump on a free throw? Hm...I just looked it up and I guess you can...I did not know that. I always assumed you had to have both feet on the floor.

Nah you can jump, but with jumping on a free throw there's more things that could go wrong on the free throw. Hassan Whiteside did it recently.

It is just hard to imagine MKG doing something that could actually make his form worse. He breaks every rule. I guess he could turn around and just throw it over his head, but he's pretty close to doing that right now. Why some of these guys don't just go granny style, I'll never figure out. Like it is any more embarrassing than his current form? I guess he shoots 68% from the line which isn't awful.

But, a guy like Drummond? Go to granny style already and be done with it.

As for jumping from the free throw line, it is legal if you're going vertical. You just can't jump toward the hoop (obviously). I think for a time Wilt was actually jumping at the basket from the free throw line, so they had to make a special rule outlawing it. If that film exists, it has to be hilarious.

KD

What a tease, did it go in or what

[sammichoffate]

I really like JJ Redick's form, textbook

[Jasper]

definitely NOT Hero Ball Curry's push shot ...

CP3 simple , smooth, and with range.
He isn't given enough credit for his jumper , than his team leadership and dimes.

K. Irving is another example of a simple jumper that is very effective.
