Who has the prettier jumpshot form, Kobe or MJ?

[OldSchoolBBall]

Jordan's form circa 1996-97 was absolutely flawless.

I've noticed that Kobe shoots with the ball slightly further back as well, it might be because of arm length.

Kobe coppied MJ's jumper but i'll take Ray Allen

I wonder why that is....perhaps Jordan's bigger hands?

MJ jumps very high on a jumpshot.(Compare to the other player)

True, that creates illusion of his very long hang time. I remember once how defender jumped AFTER Jordan jumped, and descended BEFORE MJ. All Jordan had to do so it outhang in the air and score on the way down when defender couldnt contest the shot.

It's funny because I have tried to explain how these special players all have the same type of releases. Mj, Kobe, Wade. Lebron's shot looks nothing like theirs though which is why I don't think Lebron will ever have a great jump shot.

It's a specific thing about the form. It's something that not even Ray Allen or any shooter quite has.

I don't think this is the reason why he's got better arch on his jumper. Mike Bibby for example barely jumps on his shots and has great arch.
It's a pure matter of shooting mechanics, which, IMO, MJ is better at.

They look completely diff to me,MJ's body and his leg is straght up when he shoot,Kobe kick his leg out when he shoot.

You are right.

i was just judging by the pictures though

Who has the sexier left index finger: Jessica Alba or Scarlett? WHOA WHOA WHOA guys. I asked who had the sexier left index finger, NOT who is sexier, let's not go off-topic here.

[KenneBell]

I'll go with Bean on this one.

[DuMa]

i dont really give a rats ass about the form of the shot. as long as it goes in and is effective releasing it in front of a tight defender. Reggie had ugly form most would say and his shot was really effective.

MJ was more effective on it so therefore he wins.

Ray Allen can get his jumper off from as many positions off the dribble as both Kobe and Jordan can...
