BBallBreakdown - Two Handed Set Shot: How Basketball Was Played in the 50s

[russwest0]

Sheldon says the push shot is not a shot seen all that much in today's game.

But isn't shot called "tear drop"?

CP3 uses this running shot as many combo/ point guards in today's game.

Overall the video had nice info. Thanks for sharing.

I think he meant from as far out as the 3pt line.

I see some old ass guy at the gym I go to do it and have some success. It's like a floater from the 3pt line, it's weird as fukk.

wow this just proves 50s were a weak era.

bob cousy dominated the mid to late 50s/ very early 60s era of basketball simply off the fact that his moves at the time were revolutionary and cousy was a trendsetter back in the day.

Cool video.

That 50's ball looks like it weighs 2lbs. No wonder they played like they did back then

There were times in the first vid where it was like watching handball. All the passing in the perimeter without dribbling and not entering the paint.

wow this just proves 50s were a weak era.

All this proves is that if not for the 50s, you would probably not have a life because there wouldn't be any basketball to talk about.

Yes , Game probably was like handball in 1920's . Game evolved year by year to more dribbling basketball . NBA(actually basketball) changed when Mikan retired and work on "how we make better basketball? " . More freedom on offences , guards . Mikan always says that ; We should get the 3 point line for guards freedoms on court . Mikan created the ABA . And ABA had first hand checking cultures on the court and first 3 point line system in basketball history .

marc gasol does a 2 handed set shot from 19 feet out. we're in a weak era when he's a top center doing that ish

Mark Price and Ron Harper's mid to late 80s Cavs teams would win a championship in today's shitty era of basketball.

They would probably got injured at those days . Early basketball tougher as street basketball . Fouls and field goal mades numbers are similar at early basketball .
