How come players with big muscles can't be good shooters?

How come all the really good shooters have to be skinny..... Why can't buff guys be good shooters?

impressive. i see what you did there.

shooting the ball is a skill/technique. It's not the muscles that helps the ball get into the hoop.

You practice long enough, it doesn't matter if you are build like Dwight Howard or Sasha Vujacic, you will be able to shoot.

More jacked than LeBron (I used LeBron because people always rave about his muscles)

Gilbert Arenas? One of the better 3pt shooters.
Dwyane Wade? Good midrange game.
Lebron? A decent shooter all round.

David Robinson was a good shooter for a big man and Zo had a good mid-range jumper and turnaround jumper.

For half a second I thought he might be trying to curl them.

im gonna go ahead and say none of the players listed in this thread are good shooters.

good shooters have a lot of muscle dexterity and flexibility so that their whole body can move more fluidity for a much better arcing shot. big muscles tend to rob the limbs from being able to move more fluid.

thats my 2 cents
