the sway is the most important part ^^

@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C lmao everyone knows that already

Curry watching this like👁️👄👁️
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C who cares
@M fuck soccer
Steph is actually really strong as well. I heard he deadlifts the most out of anyone on the warriors.. A strong back + core + legs seems to be the best formula for a great NBA player.
Krisna k the only person who beat him was festus azeli, but he doesn't play on warriors still does he?
I think the only guy who deadlifted more was Draymond
KJ2832 it was Festus Ezeli that deadlifted more.
wow wtf seriously? is that true!? no fucking way.
The art of competition prob has to do with them not doing deadlifts often either. After a few months everyone bigger probably could lift more. But doesn't deny his strength
Coach, you missed the most important part of Steph's jumpsuit. He's a one eyed shooter. He's also right eye dominant, so on his release, his arm blocks vision of his right eye, and his follow through directly follows this, pointing at the rim. Paired with turning his feet, this makes almost every shot for him a straight shot, and explains why his left and right misses are so rare.
He said that
He talked about it
The reason he tracks the ball through the air is because of feedback. If you follow the ball through the air, you can assess the power, angle and spin that you impart on the ball and whether that enables you to hit the shot. By doing this you can correlate that with your shot mechanics and make adjustments in subsequent shots that you take. Similar concept to most sports involving a ball e.g. soccer, baseball, tennis etc.
+indianslaya9 what part of that correlates to baseball??? Ball moving too fast to track it if you're pitching and off the bat..
BBALLBREAKDOWN that’s what I’ve always thought. But so many great shooters do it. I don’t personally. It doesn’t feel right at all but shooting is the strongest part of my game. Christ be with you all! Glorious He is and forever He will be. Stay in the Scriptures and in prayer. God be with you all! Endure to the end in Him!
BBALLBREAKDOWN There’s not only fast balls in baseball...
I almost always know in a fraction of a second if my shot is going in or missing wide, short, long.
I watch my ball after release for 3 reasons... 1. I know it's going in if it flies a certain way through the air...2 I can make subtle adjustments if it doesn't... 3. it's ASMR when you see that thing go the hoop with a swish sound...lol
Former math teacher here: as to why curry looks up from the rim to his shot. it is probably because the trajectory of the ball is parabola in math terms. So a parabola has a special property of symmetry , which means if you draw a parabola on a paper and fold it in half, it looks the same. What this means for objects like a ball following a parabolic path in the air is that once the object hits its peak in the air its path is already predefined. So curry is looking back up from the rim to measure where his shot hits peak and once he is satisfied that he hit the peak in the right spot he gets back on d without looking at the ball.

Even though i do not like the warriors a lot i have to accept the fact that steph is a phenomenal player. Awesome video coach!
berk sönmez everybody has to top 3 pg not a warriors fan also
ive been waiting for this!! ive noticed that when i shoot one motion i make more of my shots but you feel like you arent controlling the shot so i revert back.
i notice klay uses this motion as well
id still want to know in more detail how he generates power from 45+ feet with a normal shooting stroke while other guys have to heave it to the rim.
He shoots on the way up and his one motion stroke generates a lot of power also he's a lot stronger for his size than people think lol.
Shermarki James
i know hes pretty strong but stronger guys have trouble shooting it from that far out
without heaving it with little accuracy
I totally understand what you mean. I also felt this way, thought I had to shoot a 2 motion shot, and I know I would've had more rhythm and higher accuracy with a 1 motion shot. #YouCanDoIt
I know what you mean. I see a lot of guys way buffer than me and I'm just a skinny, lanky guy yet I can shoot from 30+ with my natural shooting motion while those other guys barely catch iron. Granted I do emphasis more on the sway/hip turn in the air when I do shoot from that distance, but I believe it's all mechanics that help generate that power and accuracy.
Harry Mak i agree its mechanics. just like guys who can throw the ball far in football or baseball arent the biggest guys.
i think it has to do with him turning in the air. notice on his deeper shots he almost turns 90 degrees in the air to get power. i tried to use it and it isnt that simple to transfer into shot
Nice breakdown Nick. Curry uses the original knee bend to begin a "kinetic chain" and propels the energy up through all moving parts in the jump shot allowing Steph to shoot from farther out. Also, when Jerry West was making his jump shots, he was equally good at dribbling with his left hand and his right before going into his jump shot. I've seen Steph use both but Jerry often would start with his right hand and go to the midline. Steph is also such a great ball handler that he can create space so well. Thanks for the video.
Wei Qi
I think the reason he follows the ball is not necessarily to shoot that shot better, but it's part of a feedback process. Like he wants to make that immediate connection between how the shot feels and how the shot looks, so he can continually keep his shot perfectly calibrated. His feedback is so good that if it leaves the hands well and looks right on the way up, he knows he doesn't even have to look at the shot to know he splashed it.
In short there is no secret, only hard work.
Wrong, bad form will keep you an inconsistent shooter for life. Doesnt matter how much practice. There is a correct mechanic for shooting that yields the most consisten result.
Tabeen Tariq his secret is that he’s a palm shooter. Easier for some people
No he have a secret. i use that shoot and i become a best shooter

A.R. Smith faxxx. We need coach Hoover back😭
What's he gone?
febbra2 I heard story's like he was a pedo or he just left or something. Ik his father or gpa past away but he would've been back by now.
I heard his dad dies so he was taking time off but come on, it's been a year
Tyler H yeah bro hopefully he'll be back soon cs pro shot ain't the same rn 😭
like you said, I feel watching the ball after release allows you to focus on mechanics, as well as give you some info whether or not the shot looks good leading to a chase down of the rebound, repositioning etc..
This is the best breakdown I have seen on Steph imo. Thank you for making this, it's been a great help.
I feel kids back in the day have been naturally shooting with this "one motion" type of shot. They didn't have the arm strength so they relied heavily on the legs.
They just unlearned it as they get older/stronger because they see most of the pros shooting with that 2 motion shot at the time. (Prior to Steph Curry)
Just fantastic. I remember Curry telling me a long time ago that there was a photoshoot of him and Seth where their motion and shot were exactly the same when captured in camera. I wonder if video shows evidence of that as well.
AMAZING video as always Coach! It's awesome the way U break things down. Steph really is the Greatest Shooter the NBA has ever seen.
this video should be a staple in all high school coaching facilities
+Danh Tran 🏀👍💪
Years after watching broski shoot I learned that a big thing is his elbow are always lower than the shoulder and snaps once they align rather than the other way where you snap after the alignment of shoulder and elbow
To me, the way he catches or picks up the ball and minimizes the dip are the most important factors in making him a deadly shooter.
Yep, part of his lighting fast release. A big reason why he's such a deadly shooter is his ability to get shots off with little to no separation between himself and the defender because of how quick his release is.
The dip is really just the early wrist flexion and establishing hand position; you nailed it!
Things which aren't talked about, but which I have noticed is vital for my shots success is keeping the upper body (chest, upper back and shoulders) relaxed to keep the tensing muzzles to alter your mechanics as well as holding your core (abdominals and lower back) stable to effectively transfer the power from the jump and sway into the shot.
Good shooters follow the ball after their release because they were highly cognizant of their intended trajectory for that shot. They are checking to see if they executed the trajectory properly. The lesson is to be mindful of the space above the plane between your eyes and the rim.
Two things I think you left out was his balance and rotation. That's my theory on why he looks at the ball instead of the rim. I think that's one of the Curry shooting secrets.
The intentional rotation of the ball allows him to control the trajectory of his shot from long distances. Similar to the spiral of a football or backspin on a golf ball.
And I don't know what drills he did growing up but he's never off balance.
+TheDivineRights I could do 3 more videos on his shot, lol.
please do lol

There is still so much more to be discovered from his shot. I've spend a year completely scraping my old jumpshot and learning from Steph, studying countless videos in slow motion. I'm not going to share what I found because I think each player should put the time in to discover it themselves. What I will say though is you might think you are shooting like Steph but you are not even though you tried applying this video. TAKE VIDEO of yourselves and study that in slow motion too, it's just as important. Then you can really fix your shot because you can see what you are doing wrong.
+Tom Zeto I can do at least 3 more of these talking about his shot. But I'd love to hear what you've come up with! Coachnick@bballbreakdown.com
seriously, i studied his shot form for awhile now and thought i had it down. Recorded it and it was totally different lol. Recording really helps, i'm in the process of changing my form right now
Tom Zeto. I already breakdown Curry's shot and I became a long range shooter and the only problem is when sometimes you cant make a bucket,you can only make a bucket when you're already warm out and I hate that l.
Do you have the same problem,IF YOU DO,Pls reply. THANKS
Imitating his shot doesn't mean u gonna be able to shoot like him.
@@ballnyoung7684 literally just started analyzing and replicated his shot today. I had a 2 motion and i completly changed it to a one motion. I do have problems doing the shot right off the vat but once i get a feel and motion i knock down straight swishes. Im actually really excited about this because it was always hard for me to shoot from deep, but now im much more effective. Its only been a few hourse but significant improvment was made and im happy. The problem i have now is figuring out the right placement of the ball between my left and right hand. Im left handed by the way.
Coach Nick you have made some excellent videos. I've watched you improve your game big time! Thanks for being a positive inspiration.
Coach, would you please explain to me the point of practicing non game shots? For example: I see curry practicing his shot like in the video above. If you notice, he is barely jumping, and he will continue like this. However, in live games he jumps a little bit higher. It seems to me the best way to improve your shooting percentage is to practice exact mechanics of game shots. I see tons of players do this.
4:53 notice also the right hand of Steph.It's in the side not under the ball and it turns under the ball in it's way up.
what i find hard to do with this type of shot is pulling up from the mid range while being guarded hip to hip. Because there is no hang time and you get blocked if the defender is athletic and long
if they are hip to hip with you, may I suggest just don't shoot it and drive by them.
You're going to get blocked anyway by an athletic and long defender if you're 6'3. That's why Curry mastered the floater.
yeah and a step back would be better i think, just like Harden does. Sometime the defender is just fast enough to not really be hip to hip but not far enough also.
yep, that's good defense. You'll need to get them off balance with change of direction, change of pace, etc. to setup your scoring move. And if you can't do that, call for a screen! And if still cannot, pass it! at least their good defense will be wasted on you and you can space the court to help open up the court for your teammates to score. Unless you're discussing 1v1 !
yeah and unless you are the scorer and teammates are not cutting and trying to get into scoring opportunities haha.
Many great content on this channel but I think this is the best one!! You should continue to do player breakdown forms! That would be awesome coach

I've always heard that following the ball allows you to know where it will go.
But when I do that, I lose sight of the basket.
I know exactly where it will go if I look at the rim, without following the path of the ball.
Pau Franco
Pau Franco dont follow the ball it will make you think you about to miss it
Josh Jackson follow the ball after you shoot, after you do that u will naturally know where to start shooting
The video stated that curry sees the ring like a laser. Ive tried it before and it improves my accuracy. Focuses yourself to the ring seems a right thing to do.
The most important thing for shooting is your feet. Like Curry, if your feet is set, you can make straighter shots. Also, if your feet is set and it’s not going straight, look at your elbows where your shooting hand is. If your elbow is not straight and is going left or right ( depending which hand you shoot) practice by making your elbows *STRAIGHT*. Do not jump high because it will affect your power the higher you jump. When your about to shoot with your feet set and elbows straight, put your heels up and flick the ball. Well, that’s my technique I guess. ( SECRET ) When your about to shoot, imagine your hand is in the rim when you shoot. I don’t know why but it just helps me make shots myself lol. Anyways, have a great day 😃 By the way, what I mean by “Set your feet” is like making your feet straight with BOTH of them. Don’t turn your feet that much from the side because you might shoot to the right or left 😅 FYI: Flick helps you get more power. When you think you have to much power into your shot, don’t make it less powered! Just go for it. Don’t have doubts because you might hit the rim because of less-power.

+Eugene Li haha, thanks!
I think the No.1 most important thing about stephen curry's shooting is that he follows the ball with his eyes. This technique helps guarantee good arc, which will result in better shooting % since the rim will now appear larger for the ball. I find that incorporating this technique into my shot automatically increased my shooting % and made shooting much more effortless. Most players focus too much on the rim, so their shot loses arc and naturally has a lower shooting % since the rim now appears smaller to the ball. It's all about science xD
Slow motion helped alot. Thank you. Just in two weeks of exercising that one motion shot, my shoots improved alot.
Secrets=heave it up and pray
Nick Green that is what Westbrick is doing
James Harden Russell doesn't heave it tho. Shooting from 30 feet+ is a heave
Making them consistently more then anyone in the nba is more than enough reason to let it fly
Nah Faith without work is dead. So you need to work to make you faith works.
😂
Coach Nick, glad you mentioned his eyes following the ball. Coach Hoover at Pro Shot believes ball watching is a great way to check your arc of your shot. Curry has nice and consistent arc on his shot. Shooting flat gives a shooter less margin for error for short or long versus a shot with a lot of arc.
+bullit199 stay tuned. I've got a huge video coming up that will talk about the optimal arc.
It's like Revenge of the Nerds. Old-fashioned B-Ball players left 3pt shooting to skinny players afraid of the paint or short guys. Dude got in the lab, & came back for revenge.
I don't see what's particularly scary about short guys though?
Another interesting thing, he puts a lot of movement (turn) on the ball. Great shooters do that: klay, gordon (houston, the three point champion), korver, jj redick
Make a video on his "elite" defense

Thank you so much for making this video. This made my shot better than ever in my life. Keep doing these videos so you can help people who have problem with their shots ☺
Well this shit is going viral..
When you follow the ball with your eyes, you can compare your mechanics with the shot trajectory to evaluate your form. This is why I do it. Great shooters do it instinctively or deliberately.
Steph basically can shoot a set shot off the dribble and most set shot shooter need to be set up. that is the key to his success
After i watched the video, i practiced it and did bad but after practicing with the mechanic it increased my 3pt shooting percentage. Nice video!!
Do Klay Thompson and Dame Lillards shot mechanics
Lillard's shot is really fucking weird. I really recommend you google "Strange quirk in Lillard's shooting stroke realgm" and watch the gifs. It's fascinating
That makes me want to try it on the court. It might be a good trick.
I had never even thought that someone would bring up Lillard in the same sentence with Steph and Klay
🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
I think Dwayne dedmon has way better shooting mechanics than Ricky rubio, because dedmon can block dame lillard and klay easily bruhhhh. u don't know shi about the nba
i have a theory about following the ball: it's about getting the arc right. i figure that you would get more information about your arc by observing a longer portion of the ball's trajectory (the direction, the vertex, the spin etc.), so you can adjust the power and alignments accordingly. it's a part of fine-tuning your shot to the circumstances. i'm not even a particularly good shooter, these are just some observations i made about my own shooting process.
awesome!! Learned a lot that Im going to teach my u14😀
+Brick City awesome Thx! Keep me updated.
I have this mechanics when i was young. But many coaches and friends tend me to change some things then i lost my shot and my confidence i think.. I THINK IN MY OPINION, I FOLLOW THE BALL AFTER THE RELEASE TO SEE THE ROTATION AND MAKE A FOCUS ON THE ARC.. I have that very high abnormal arc but it accurate back then when it is not changed.. I have to get back that mechanics..
Can u do a video on Demarcus Cousins??
Chance Fraser are you a center
gotta create tension first in that initial cocking the ball load up phase before the release movement. Create tension in the feet and glute and especially the stomach core area. By bending over a bit and bringing the ball near to your body you create that tension.

Tip: aim for the three hooks at the back of the ring and will most likely get in strait:)

Here, hold this massive L...
The more I look at it the more I learnt, been looking at it for like a year, the motion he jumps ( knees goes in front, back is straight, his body is only slightly tilted while he catches the ball, but the started turning as he pull up, cuz the ball will goes to his right eye a bit and this is to maintain the straight line
Wow, I wish I would've known all this at age 10.
curry is 6'2' if you think you much shorter than that and wanna shoot like him, you're mistaken.
You can also breakdown tyler ulis too. He has quick release and less arch. the way he puts up his shot, allows him to utilize more force of his forearm than of his delts. Curry picks up his shot a lot narrower, which causes the shoulder more tension. He might look effortless but he's tall for most guards, and he's an nba player. don't naively think that copying his shot is gonna work for you
Curry's also great at handling and creating space off the dribble so he can shoot at such a short height. I agree, if you're small it might be hard to shoot if you can't open up shots for yourself. You'll get covered all day off ball and will have to pass it out.
Marco Willians 6'3
Marco Willians steph is 6 foot 3 not 6 foot 2
Keven Torres 6 3 with shoes
well my steph curry based jumpshot increased my three point average from 35% to 40%

kek but looking at the rim means aiming tho
Glenn Tabar yea exactly you look after you release it. so you can aim then follow the ball
You and the team @ BBallbreakdown are doing so much to inspire us old-timers and advance the next generation of basketball, and for FREE. Thank you!
I'm glad you brought up the left thumb, I feel this is not discussed enough. I think I disagree with you there, in my opinion the less off hand thumb, the better. I've been experimenting with resting my left thumb on the side of my hand (like a karate chop hand, but just the thumb part) I feel like it helps me and makes my shot more one handed. And I think for many people off hand thumbs introduce sidespin on the ball and less of that beautiful backspin we love to see. Another thing u see Curry do which you didn't mention...the left hand is held next to the right at least briefly before resting down. So many of the current generation were taught to hold their follow through for the shooting hand, but not the off hand. And pulling the off hand off too early introduces another force that could make the shot less consistently straight. I also really appreciate you discussing the difference between catching from the left and right. That is something I don't think anyone else talks about, at least not yet!

PRO SHOT much?
BBallBreakdown seems to advocate a philosophy of shooting very much in line with ProShot, possibly getting it from them, I'm not sure. I think they have collaborated on videos together in the past. This is nothing new, but glad u noticed it! I love that their message regarding shooting is consistent, so I love both their channels.

Thx for making this kind of video, after watching i did try to test it out and it worked, I officially improved my shot, but I just have to keep both of my hands together when shooting to straighten the ball's trajectory, in scrimmage I scored a deep three over a bigger guy that was on me.

Straight to my drill playlist. Awesome video!!
This video helped me improve my 3 pt shooting. Thank you!
Great video but i was really hoping you would focus on his 5 finger release and which fingers the ball leaves at what time and in what order... look it up yourself its amazing how he does it. i want to know how myself
Thank you coach for this video about the goat, this is your best video yet.
It would be interesting to contrast Steph's shooting style with Klay's. He has that high release point and very efficient action which looks gorgeous.
This video helped me with my shot when I went in my backyard I shot 19 in a row
His biggest secret is pushing through the ball he gets the ball to his set point and pushes through it
Thanks for the vids I'm a young coach and tell my players all the time to sub to your channel peace
Great breakdown! I think live game action shots give a better understanding of his footwork and lower body mechanics.
+MrMontetowe I disagree. I feel like we never get to see this angle, from the basket
BBALLBREAKDOWN : good point about the angle. I just think game intensity forces him to be more aggressive with his lower body - like the deep three example over Carmelo.
Fantastic video. Can't imagine what the league will be like 10 years later. When the generation growing up with elite 3 pointer training join the league, basketball will be super interesting.
+Di Sun yeah, it'll be strange. Defense will have to change
Nice bars, coach!
Great Video Coach. Keep it coming.
I follow the ball with my eyes because depending on where I'm shooting, I know if it's good or not just by the way the ball is aligned to the rim and how high the balls trajectory is. After shooting thousands of times a day. And seeing the ball hitting that exact same rotation speed and trajectory. U just know if that's shit either falling or not while it's still in the air. That's why he celebrates before it goes in on the regular. Cuase he knows exactly how it looks on the situational basis.
Great video. I wonder if curry is right or left eye dominant? I'm right-handed but left eye dominant so I find that bringing the ball to my center line, like steph, helps a lot with my accuracy. I think eye dominance is an important factor in creating an accurate shooting mechanic.
Interesting that his eyes follow the ball. I used to get on shooting streaks where I'd catch myself not even looking at the rim. Just let it rip, and that sucker would go in. I think when your mechanics are right, you can shoot blindfolded and still make them at a pretty good clip. Crazy.
Thanks! The part about the left handed dribble set up pretty big for me
I think every good shooter follows the ball during its flight. If you think all you are doing is putting your hand through the rim then it would be impossible to see both the hand and the rim. So once you located the rim you think about putting your shooting hand through it and once you reach your set point you follow the release
Can we please see a video with deep study of Stephen Curry's set point and his follow through
