..Steph?
Stephen Curry?
Give it a slack with steph curry, the give me a screen and i shoot a 3.
Far more better feature dirk's move
Lebron's signature shots? The lower leverage of both his shoulders into his defender's chest, before flailing his arms for a foul?
He's a smart player, mid range shots are always there no matter what, either fade or use a screen and there's basically an easy 2 points for you, once you master the fade like Jordan and Kobe it's hard for any defender to guard you
Karl Malone mastered it too towards the end of his career.
James Harden should take note
@@maninblack9850 that 16 - 20 foot shot from Karl was $$
kd has the best midrange of all time tho. Both effeciency wise and number of mid ranges attempted
Not on dirk my man
He reminds me MJ so much. Even how he sometimes holds the ball with one hand.
Clearly not the same level in terms of athleticism and fluidity of movement, but for modern NBA players he is the closest thing to MJ
His hands is huge like Jordan
I agree kawhi is more robotic with his movement
of course you'll be reminded. even in the nba very few people can palm the ball like jordan and kawhi.
If kawhi had the athleticism and playmaking of like a westbrook he would be mj
mid-range is fine so long as you shoot them efficiently. remember when rockets missed 27 consecutive 3s? bet they wish they could have shot a good mid-range and get the players going
Enthusiastic Zestful Villainy I hate when teams seem like they are forced to shoot 3s even if they keep missing
That game was obviously fixed for the Warriors to repeat. It started with Paul's injury
@G C what? A wide open elbow shot is harder than a contested layup. Players pass up wide open mids to take contested layups all the time for no reason 💀
@G C thats the thing, when ppl are coming off of ball screens, they are wide open most of the time
G C that wasn’t his point though. His point was that a lot of players would force themselves into the paint for a contested layup when they would have an open mid range jumper. If they don’t take the 3, they try and go into the paint for a layup when a lot of times they would have an open mid range jumpshot
Kobe MJ Kawhi pure artistry on the court and beautiful to watch.
Yep, good students of MJ.
Ye lets just forget others who can knock down mids like they do. AI, Demar, KD, Mcgrady, Karl Malone ( Late in career ), bird, many more.
KD is the best mid range assassin ever
Dude literally plays like Jordan and Kobe and that’s why this dudes going to win a hand full of titles.
*Already won a handful of championships
not really lol
💯✔🔥🖐
dooomsday666 boutta tie LeBron this year
@@JohnDoe-ld7op 2 is not a handful tbh. 3 is more like it
Kawhi is a cheat code and everything you want out of a player... offense, defense, STOOPID efficiency and a stone cold killer in the clutch
And zero personality
Ona Ebodaghe wish he had explosive athleticism tho
@@mcm0923 his dunking on 7 footers. he lacks athleticism but his wingspan if stupidly long sometimes you'll be shocked if he dunks without acceleration going to the hoop.
lol not really he lacks the passing and ball handling. IMO KD is the ultimate cheat code in basetball.
🗣💯🔥
MJ dropped 500 mid-range shots in 96 season at 49.5% shooting. Crazy efficient.
1:21 Blake Griffin almost died trying to get the potential put back XD
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i just saw it. Yeah he risked his life..lol
LMAO man fr had to fight for his life on the way down
Dropped dead
😭😭😭
That's what great players do
kawhi did say that he watches kobe and MJ game highlights
He makes sure to turn off his TV when LeBron is on though
He watched jordan highlights since high school calling it Jordan Highs. His inspiration is jordan he just goes to kobe becuase he is easy to workout with.
Mario Gonzalez so what you’re saying is kobe taught him 😉
@@batsman46 nope. Not saying that at all.
Mario Gonzalez you know it’s true. Everyone watches Jordan highlights but only a few people get to train with Kobe.
Carmelo and D-Wade has a beautiful mid range as well
yeah, especially melo..too bad he is now a thing of the past...
why everyone ignores like lebron ain't been doing mid ranges since 2003
@@elvisrolon1862 cause lebron's never been known for being a shooter..
@@lyhthegreat and you tell me leanord more of shooter then bron kill me now 😂🤦🏽♂️
@@elvisrolon1862 didn't said kawhi's a better shooter than bron, i was talking about melo brah..
That game winner against the 76ers is one of the greatest shots of all time. That arch over Embiid while fading away is insane. Add in it was game 7... just wow.
During Tony Parker's prime (2007), he had a deadly mid range too...
Back then mid range were still popular
Tony Parker was a great mid range shooter because his 3 point shot wasn't great, and Popovich knew how to utilize his strengths.
Tony Parker is a top 20 all-time PG
Rogemille Castillo don’t forget they consider Rip Hamilton the king of the mid range
@@YungJay216 Absolutely! He was a beast during the 04 finals.
This is really sad y’all calling a midrange jumper a throwback I hate analytics
Stfu
Corey Higgins No you stfu
Trae Gant it’s the truth tho
L
It's the truth
He trains with Kobe Every Off Season so this is no surprise 🤷🏾♂️
Kobe is inefficient and a worse version of Jordan
@@hakeemolajuwonBESTROCKET lol says no NBA legend ever.
hakeem olajuwon BEST ROCKET a worse version of Jordan is still an all time great
@@breadpill8299 yes easily
It's a total myth that Kobe is inefficient. In the years he had Shaq, his field goal percentage was always over 46%.
His Airness...the Mumba....now we have the Terminator!💀
Mamba
@@noone-qu5ec 👍
he already had a name.. the CLAW
@@5at5una klaw
He have a defense like Pippen and MJ, But he is more similar to pippen on how he moves, Especially like a robot😂😂 If you have watched pippen and Kawhi in the court its like THE Gemini Movie
Like I always say...
Kawhi got the OldSkool style ✋🏾🏀
I love to watching him play
MJ and Kobe in his prime will dominate this era
That is true that is why Qui Leonard gets all his points nobody plays defense anymore used to play back then he wouldn't have all those points just saying
I know it's late, but what's funny is actual NBA players actually agree on this statement
Curry will average more than MJ did in the Jordan's era, if you go back and look at the games they don't guard the 3 point line at all, imagine Curry shooting 15 uncontested threes a game
@@chelmg9537 Because there weren't as many 3 pointers back then, believe me if players were shooting as many 3's in the 90's defences would have adjusted to contest the 3 more.
@@garymoore2733 that's not true, today's teams actually gets stops at the same rate, adjusted for pace, as 80s and 90s teams. The 80s and early 90s in particular were very close in terms of scoring and getting stops. This myth always spreads around based on nostalgia but the truth is that if today's teams don't play D, then neither did teams of any other era.
NBA: Mid range is dead
Also NBA: Kawhi is the best player in the league
ASTROCADe he is right now
Very true
I’m not disagreeing lol I’m telling u how the analyst and talk show hosts contradict themselves. It’s all analytics and about the 3 but your best player religiously shoots the mid range. Even KD shoots the mid range. They WANT Giannis to shoot the mid range. But it’s dead? Lol it’s hilarious. Maybe just maybe analytics is stupid cuz u can’t measure heart and willpower.
@@astrocade9541 the point is that role players shouldn't take midrange shots, superstars can take whatever they want if they can make it at a good enough rate, no one is saying Kawhi shouldn't take them what analytics say is that you rather have PJ Tucker spotting up in the corner than trying to hit fadeaway 20 footers
Mid-range IS dead.
Give Chip Engelland his props, the best shooting coach in the league, transformed Kawhi offensive game. The years in San Antonio made Kawhi the best in the league, even the efficiency with which he plays. In San Antonio rookies don’t average 15 FGA like other teams do, you learn the game, earn your spot in the lineup for defense, getting your points off cuts and open court, all the while training
and developing your offensive game, after a handful of years you start to assume more offensive responsibility and even then you only take open shots until you’re bonafide shooter than can create for yourself, then the offense starts to evolve around you. That’s the path Kawhi took and that’s the path Dejounte Murray is on, probably won’t be Kawhi good but his defense is elite for a guard and his offense is slowly catching up. He even signed with New Balance. Mini Kawhi
That's why I look up to these guys , MJ, Kobe, KD, Kawhi, CP3, deadly midrange shooters I practice and I'm getting better every day. 🤧
Keep going bro
What about LAbron though? The video had that one clip of him doing a jumper.
@@invictuz4803 Bron is okay at mid rangers not elite.
Hope to see you playing in the college or as a pro, bro.
Carmelo Anthony, DeMar DeRozan, LaMarcus Aldridge, & Jayson Tatum
been saying this for a while, he reminds me of Jordan in so many aspects of his game and the jumper just adds to that now
He puts on work with kobe bryant...
But for real mj and lobe is the deadleast player to ever play the game...
Golden state: There’s no way the raptors will win a championship.
Kawhi: Hold my laugh
Boltz Gamer injuries: “hold my leg cast”
Injuries: hold my ACL
Warrior fans: Injuries
2015 Kyrie and Love, 2017 Kawhi and 2018 CP3: We would like a word.
Chapu Chipu they woulve won 2017 and 2018 anyway. In 2018 iggy was injured they literalyy blew the rockets out in game 3 they werent the same ever since.
@@bobchiong3318 yeah san antonio could of beat golden state or at least took it to a game 6 or 7 but we will never know what would happen that's to ZaZa
As a Native Tortonian, that shot will never be forgotten :)
Dude Im a Floridian, not a Raptors fan, and Ill never forget that shot!
I'm a Denverian, and will remember that shot till I get Alzheimer.
Never seen the replay from that angle, tbh I can see why a lot of salty sixers fans complain about a no call for a travel on the inbounds catch. Still a great shot though, glad y’all beat GSW
I'm an Arizonamoronian and that shot will forever be pierced in my brain.
I didn't know y'all were called Tortonian
That Elo shot from MJ.....Timeless
100% truth! Never noticed it til I watched this, but it does remind me of the greats. Not quite as fluent as MJ, but nobody was as fast & smooth as the goat
He’s got the Big hands like Mike and Pippen.
Im so much love mid range- arsena like pullup, fadeways, turn around is deadly weapon. And beatifull look also
That's the soul of the game.
Clippers fans are going to love watching Kawhi, Paul George & Sweet Lou play together. Those three create off the dribble and consistently hit those pull up midrange shots.
P.S. I’m predicting the next 2 finals
Clippers vs 76ers 2020 (Clippers in 6)
Clippers vs Nets 2021 (Clippers in 5)
Kay Ivey 👍🏻
Dude I would cry if the clippers finally won a chip
Shogun you’re gonna bawl like a baby. I’ve been a fan of Kawhi since 2012 and that man is just a pure bred winner. This is the best team he’s ever been on and he’s already got two rings. He’ll retire with 5+ mark my words.
Shogun Finally? It's not like they ever came close...
@@jam-rockrider9479 Agreed.
Yeah his fadeaway is clean, he makes a lot of tough shots
Uhhhh
I knew it. His shot looks so similiar to kobe and MJ
Kobe's looked splendid, artful. Kawai got that mechanical look. Idk about MJ.
it really doesn’t man… his game could be somewhat similar but he really is more a Tim Duncan version of them… Kobe and Mj had a different a flair to their game.
Mid-range shots are tough, that's why most defensive teams are ok with letting that shot and focus on blocking the 3s or the lane. Having a player like him being that efficient on that shot opens up great possibilities for 3s or dunks
Mid range pull up will never outdated. That shot separates gods from greats in most cases
The mid range game is one of the most important parts of the game for the scorers.
the point is that role players shouldn't take midrange shots, superstars can take whatever they want if they can make it at a good enough rate, no one is saying Kawhi shouldn't take them what analytics say is that you rather have PJ Tucker spotting up in the corner
Loved this show format and style.
GREAT video, not just in solid content, but in presentation. Perfect, really.
He’s such a unique and dynamic player. There’s such a defensive mind that from time to time his offense is underrated.
But, I'm seeing the mid-range is making a comeback this season, alongside low post and iso style of play. I've seen a lot of these in several games as we speak. Even Curry training post up mid-range shoots a lot this season.
A lot of team tried to imitate the warriors but there's only a single pair of splash brothers . So they have to come back to what works for the journeyman
lalo reta it’s way easier for a journey man to make a career shooting like 38% from 3 by spotting up and running off screens than it is to make a career off moving contested 2s lol this isn’t even a new thing look at Steve Kerr, Kyle Korver, Steve Blake and now Joe Harris
this is the best thing you guy have ever put out honestly
Currently binging this series
The dislike came from a nerd in the analytics department
This is a great example of people going online and declaring war on each other. Analytics - if they get calculated rigorously - aren't wrong. Likewise, a superstar who does what works for him - if he does it well enough - isn't wrong, either. And the two things aren't mutually exclusive (ask Steph). But here you two are, getting all emotional about it. Chill. Mid-range jumpers are a good thing to use, and Kawhi rocks them like nobody else right now. Can't we just... feel that?
@IG: confused_melo to see proof he is garbage #Ginga Just sayin, you seem worked up.
@IG: confused_melo to see proof he is garbage #Ginga Cool man, anyway, enjoy the season.
You mean ANALytic department?
LeBron has been my #1 favorite this entire decade until last year--it's Kawhi now. I would like to see this guy claim more rings and Finals MVPs.
Jordan Jenkins ur probably a bandwagon now saying he’s ur favorite now cuz he won the championship and is lebron not ur favorite because he didn’t make the playoffs people say he had a bad year but to average like 27-8-8 in 55 games is not a bad season an injury just messed him over so u probably just like kawhi now because u think lebron a washed up and not gonna do anything
@@sxuffles Sure I'm a bandwagoner. Lived almost my whole life in the state of Alaska where we have no major sports franchise. I became a fan of Kawhi's demeanor and offensive game in the regular season last year.
Jordan Jenkins no it Jordan kobe Lebron now kawhi
Lol
Well he aint getting one this year
True...we were talkin' about this free throw line mid range pull up last week. Nice analysis.
This is the type of content I like to see 👌👌
All these 3 have amazing core strength and balance, which is crucial for pull up jumpers
No one can imitate MJ, his walk, his jump, his dunks, his shot, and the most of all is his fade away. Michael Jordan is a walking poetry.
🤓
Kobe
Kobe
Beautiful to watch
That wasn’t a “shot” from Chris Paul
-signed, still salty spurs fan
Chris Paul... still no rings 🤷♂️
Lol. That bank shot floater. Not a true mid range jumper
And may have been a travel 😂
I like how Blake didn't trust that the shot was gonna go in and almost killed himself trying to get the put-back/rebound.
@@LifeStranded Ginobili did him dirty.
I love both Kawhi and DeMar. When I watch them, I saw Kobe on them lol.
Solid Kobe fan here.
Hey hey hey
Careful now. I actually read that in his voice.
50000rs ek mahine me bahut heh kya
Incredible analysis...good job!
Great vid really interesting and entertaining
Kawhi Leonard has Michael Jordan's fundamentals, go watch MJs 51 points wizards vs hornets, its pure polished fundamentals
It looks like the Clippers will be the next champion for the very first time. Jesus!
They won't
ill help you out@@fuckthechinesevirus9462 "they won't lose " Possibly
@@fuckthechinesevirus9462 LeQing China.
They will lose to Philly in the finals
Embiid's revenge, kawhi ain't a dynasty set up or guy who's wins back to back chips, he prefers balance
The Lakers will find a way. Even if that means a trade or buyout at some point.
Very true and nostalgic...
That shot against the 76er's man, I watched that live and time stood still for a second watching that ball bounce off the rim...
Kawhi Leonard is the perfect example of letting your game speak for itself. You don't have to SAY anything. He just goes out and plays. Gotta admire that.
“Gammeeeeeeeeee” “baaaaaaidddddd”
Kawhi Leonard- 😂
5:00 when I watched that shot live, it blew my mind! One of the greatest difficult shots ever.
Crazy video!
The greatest players ever mastered mid range and you can do anything from that position, pull up, drive, kick to a driver or shooter,
WHO MASTERED THE MIDRANGE NOT LEANORD YOU DRUNK ?
elvis rolon Lmao what ?
@@elvisrolon1862 ??
Kawhi Leonard has a lot of similarities with MJ. The scoring, the mid-range, the fadeaways, the exceptional defense, the leadership, the clutchness, the ability to step up in big moments/playoffs, even the one-handed fake. Kawhi does it as well at times. The difference between the two is that MJ was a better passer, more dominant player/athlete, faster, more aggresive and athletic and simply a better player overall from the eye test and the resume. Kawhi is the better shooter though, both from the 3PT line & the FT line.
Big📠
exactly. Kawhi lacks the ball handling.passing, and athleticism. This is why i still take kd over him
And ppl dont think mj is the goat despite being a better version of a player that ppl say is better then bron 😂
@@ivyrich2777 Good logic
Also Jordan in air was mesmerising, I have never seen any player do what he could in the air, changing shot direction in mid air etc, just insane.
I could still feel the thrill from the shot bounces in that sixers series
Kawhi is simplicity but deadly " kawhi fade away so perfect!
He’s the BEST player in the league PERIODDD!!!💯
I love that game winner against philly, it showed kawhi showing emotion for the first time ever 😂
Traveled twice that shot
elvis rolon that’s overrated
Yes I Love midrange shots
fade away are gorgeous to watch
Kawhi has worked with Kobe for some time now. His mid range is similar to Kobe Bryant’s and MJ’s.
Kawhi better than Kobrick
Allan Houston. When Kawhi wins 5 titles, has more than 7200 rebounds, more than 6000 assist and score more than 33,000 points come for me. By the way Kobe is the only player in NBA history with these career stats. Kobe’s effective 2 pt fg percentage was 52 percent mainly on jump shots. Kawhi is an excellent talent but has a long way to go to be as great as Kobe Bryant.
@@Mike1122.
Kawhi 2 FMVP 2x Nba defender of the year ( 2015 and 2016 )
Kawhi defeated Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Curry, Green.
Kobe defeated 34-years-old Reggie Miller, 34-years-old Mutombo from the 90s , 6"0 ( 160 ) Iverson, Jason Kidd, 34-years-old Ray Allen, 33-years-old Garnett and 32-years-old Paul Pierce
Allan Houston. All those players you named Kobe has beaten including Kawhi. All those older players were once young superstars as well. Kobe has more game winning shots than any player in NBA history. I’m not going to get into the other accolades Kobe has, you can Wikipedia it.
It BAFFLES me that people say THIS IS A KOBE SHOT....FOOL! HE GOT IT FROM MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN. RESPECT THE GAME.
3:33 yes he takes advantage of the triple threat movement and plus he can finish at the rim but also stop and pop so the defenders are always on the run
2:54, you can see LaMarcus Aldridge look like: "yup, front office F****d up"
he remind me of MichaelJordan. lean back shot
“As good as everyone not named Kevin Durant” let that sink in
Matthew Elmore because it’s true lol kd 7’0 that can do all of the same thing
KD my favorite player and I got him just a bit above Kawhi but he's realistically as good as KD.
Kyrie make more midrangers than bof of them
@@lastofthestarmakers3660 not really lol .Kd is still a better shooter from everywhere, ball handler, passer, post up player, finisher,more athletic, better rim protector
DURANT is a 7 foot Ray Allen inside the Iceman Gervin body type
That buzzer beater made Embiid's heart drop!
Kawhi Leonard is so special! Nice research and analysis. K.L. is unique. From Brazil, Chris and Hugo with LAC until the end:)
If he wins this year with the Clips, I might have to start putting him in top 10/15 all time conversation
"As good as anybody not named Kevin Durant"😂😂
Damaine it’s true.
@@Sunny-jl6mr that's bullshit
@@mickaellandry9726 it's not bs KD last season shot the highest attempt from midrange and was also the most efficient. You can't beat the slim reaper from midrange
Durant can shoot and a 7 footer, he sees the rim better than kawhai so is a no secret. But kawhai has more skills. Nothing against KD i like him too, I always like a mid range player.
Man that shot was awesome
Jordan, kobe, Kawhi, Melo, Garnett, Cp3. Names that come to mind when I think all time midrange greats
2:09 he even stick his tongue out just like MJ
Best player in the league 🤷🏽♂️
tbh kd is better
dooomsday666 nah he’s not
But kd choked at Gw and now injured won’t be playing 1 year. Best player probably LeBron but now time kawhi to shineeee
TBH KD's only edge over Kawhi is he is a better pure scorer, but that is basically mitigated by Kawhi's agility to defend. 9 games out of 10 he is going to severely limit the the best scorer on the other team enough to make the difference. The balance of power among the top players in the league is and has been shifting imo
@@Esco_9723 not really lol .Kd is still a better shooter from everywhere, ball handler, passer, post up player, finisher,more athletic, better rim protector
I went back and watch Jordan and Kobe and noticed their mid range game was 🔥🔥🔥. You mix having the ability to square up after faking a move to the left or right and fading on occasion makes it way more difficult to stop or shadow. That's why these guys are so successful. Taking higher percentage shots instead of inside instead of 3 pointers while having the ability to shoot 3's is deadly.
Great vid
He trains with the mamba soooo
Did somebody say Jordan😍? The real G.O.A.T🏀🙌
Kobe is the G.O.A.T
Evolved from MJ
Like a machine 💥
This is like the highest quality ESPN video ever
1:17 it's more like a layup than a pull up shot
"After a few bounces, he drilled it" - Ah, so not drilled it you mean
Pop and the spurs made kawhi watch kobe and mj film almost all the time. It was said in a documentary somewhere of their 2013-2014 finals runs. Plus he had the best shooting trainer (forgot who). Kawhi is the epitome of hardwork
This is what Antetkoumpo needs in his game!
Analytics community = people who never played sports
HFR83 basically, the people that understand and can use both correctly are the ones with the most understanding.
@@yurhomi4478 You're probing my point. Numbers don't tell the true story.....just variances or consistencies that occur over time. The people you refer to are few and far between
HFR83 of course, not everything is meant to be fully understood.
I'll still take a Curry 3 with an EV of 1.3ppp vs a Kawhi 2 with an EV of .98ppp. It's simple math that even people who have played sports can understand.
tn15 I’ll take Kawhi over a Finals MVP virgin any day
mid range is more important than 3s like if i’m right 🤷♀️
especially at the crunch time you need it.
Naw but nowadays especially in the playoffs mid range is so useful since teams are so focused on defending the 3 and paint
Thank you appreciate ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kawhi's midrange is unexpected but fully predictiable at the same time. He'll come off a screen hard like he's gonna drive and then...bang...drops a midrange in your face before you have time to react. He's deadly off the elbows with that off screen shot.
He trained with Kobe when he was still in San Antonio this aint new
Kawhi is proof that Michael Jordan IS THE GREATEST!
Imleocalm Kawhi’s proof or Jordan himself was proof? Lol
Thats actually a great point
Not at all
Exactly 👍, it's time for the NBA to get away from this 3 point dominated rubbish, it sucks, so boring, apart from watching Kawhi and a few players, overall still not that exciting.
Me, pops and all of Canada exploded when that shot finally dropped. Thanks claw
My guy makin the league balanced again all around 💯💯💪🏾
