Can't go a GSW game without hearing "now thats the prettiest jumpshot in the league"
in regards to Klay Thompson. And its always some old fart from the Jerry West era. Like shutup nikka, this is newage sh!t and there ain't nothing more aesthetic than Curry's twitch shot, like maybe in ur era that shot was considered nice but in this day and age its just slow and cumbersome. None of this old fashioned sh!t that Klay is rocking, just straight up twitch with minimal body involvement. Just load up the calves by setting your feet and BOOM, release the elbow baby. Ain't noone got dat sh!t but Curry.

Klay's jumpshot is textbook. Exactly how a good shooting coach would teach it. Especially off the catch.
Curry's is more of a streetball approach in that it's quick and seemingly effortless. He can get it off at any time and his elbow's always going to be tucked perfect.
It's all about how you view the game. I think obviously, the older more seasoned fans appreciate Klay's more because of how compact, consistent and textbook it is, while newer fans probably appreciate Curry's more because of how spontaneous, quick and effortless it looks.
There is no reason to get upset over people enjoying the aesthetics of one player's shot over an other. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's like when MJ/Kobe/LeBron stans argue over who's the greater dunker, there's no answer as it's all subjective.

Well there was a time when those same textbooks and coaches would tell you to never jump on a shot.
Basically anyone who's devoted their life to playing or instructing basketball is probably retarded.

I prefer Ray Allen's shot tbh. Now that thing was a beauty.

Funny to me you would mention the old Jerry West era "farts". Jerry himself had just a flick. This is about as much of a follow through as you will ever see out of Jerry:
His jumper at times looked almost like a floater.
