although its changed a little in recent years, for the longest time, not every position developed the same skills. a lot of these people with weird shooting forms are centers who would probably get in trouble as kids if they ever attempted a shot outside the post, or power forwards who were only shooting 3's because something has gone horribly wrong in the play
Free throws are like putting, lots of pressure. Shooting a basketball involves the whole body. That's why you cann have many styles. I onced played a pickup game against a guy who spun the ball in the air and slapped-pushed it towards the goal.
I think the reason Lonzo's shot looked so odd is that he's right-handed but he aims with his left eye. His shot is fixed now though. Only hope is that the knees get fixed too
6:47 the reason Mason Plumlee's lefty shot looks so uncomfortable is cause he's naturally right handed and played his entire life and NBA career shooting right handed. He's just recently changed to shooting with his left hand.
Some players are just stubborn when it comes to switching their shooting forms we had a kid on our highschool team he was a really good athlete but had a weird shooting form and would get mad when our coach would tell him to fix it and would say who cares how it looks as long as it goes in
For right handed: right hand wide and slightly cupped--snap ball through the pointer finger and index finger for directing and aiming. Left hand guides the push through. Make sure the shot is a nice arc/parabola (so that it can descend more easily through the rim). Just about all else is (except footwork, and timing of the jump and release and follow through, of course) is really not that important--people find what they are comfortable with and can get away with given their size, jumping ability and quickness with the ball. You will notice that in all of these they end in almost identical fashion with the snap through as described, above (I played all of my young life and learned and coached fundamentals).
Daz, respectfully, we shoot a basketball (and a puck) and throw a baseball. Otherwise, well done. I could teach either or both of you to shoot properly--it would be different during game conditions, but fine for a game of H-O-R-S-E.
The reason many big men were so horrific at shooting is because the roles have changed a lot in the last decade in regards to player positions. Much how keepers in football are now being asked to build their footwork and ball skills and play on all edges and out of the box, centers are also only recently being asked to do the same. All the way from the beginning of the game until the 2010’s, centers stayed the whole game in the post near the basket and almost never shot the ball further than the midrange. Often; big men were criticized for shooting and were told to focus on post play moves. Nowadays, with the average height in the nba getting taller and the positions becoming more similar, all the tall players are working on ball skills and shooting at a very young age as a necessary skill. There are few big men in the league nowadays who truly have no jump shooting ability.
Up until about 10 or so seasons ago, you didn't need a team where every player could shoot. Role players roles were much more defined. Now in the NBA a role player basically means a spot up shooter in the corner you pass to out of a pick and roll, or when moving the defense around. Back then you would have players who were just great at defense. Whether it be rebounds, steals, on ball defense, blocks, etc. Rodman would be a great example of it that, but far from the last. Hell, even Shaq didn't have a good jump shot, and was terrible at free throws. lol The last championship the Pistons won they had Ben Wallace who also couldn't shoot, but had great inside defense and rebounds. And there are many more examples. But yeah, in the modern NBA it would be difficult to be a player who plays major minutes but couldn't shoot. The roles are far less defined in modern basketball. And with how the floor is stretched now, having a player who can't shoot really hurts an offense way more than it did even 10 or so years ago, but definitely in the 90's, early 2000s, when the roles were way more defined and important.
6:29 You've most likely never noticed it because Lonzo switched his jumper years ago and now it's pretty textbook and "pretty". he was one of the best shooters in the country in highschool and college but NBA defenses adapted + I suspect it was harder to shoot with the form from the NBA 3pt line consistently so his shot didn't translate. he naturally has a shooter's touch so he was able to adapt and change it to become one of the best shooters in the league.
Basketball is the same as football with players in specific positions that offer specific skills. Some of these guys are not shooters, their purpose is to play defense or finish at the rim. Its like in football putting a CB as a 9 and criticizing him for missing howlers. His job is to defend, not shoot the ball. The same can be said about the players shown in the video. In basketball same positioned players can also have a variety of playstyles. Look at Darwin and Haaland, they play the same role, but there is a huge difference in how they play, how they finish and their role on the pitch.

That's why the fouled Shaq all the time. SO much they called it hack a shaq. LOL
Rick Barry was the old video of the guy shooting his FF "granny style." He was very good at doing it.
Oh man, the stutter shots reminds me of Charles Barkley's golf swing. Lol I am glad the commentator said it as well.

6:24 Daz: it should be more like that shouldn't it? Or that. He's putting it like that. Thats weird that"
Say "that" again? 😂😂
Tony Brothers roasting Tyrese's shooting motion at the beginning is an all-time ref moment 😂😂
5:34 Those shots are proven to be more effective but no one does them due to the simple reason they are called Granny shots 😂
Where's the video clip of the Office Blokes (Dave, Mike, and Daz) shooting basketballs? I saw that on the main "second" channel a while back. 😅😅😅
Jamal Wilkes and Bob MaCadoo had awkward, but beautiful jump shots back in the 1970s and 80s.
Shooting hand behind, stable hand on the side…. Flick the wrist. OR……. Whatever makes the ball go in the basket. Either way

Shaq had a weird shot, but then again he mostly dunked the ball.
Haven't watched yet. Trying to guess if Bill Cartright's shot will be on the list. His style was def unique.

You should check out the Hornet's announcers best calls, he's hilarious

Micheal Jordan drafted michael kidd-gilchrist with the #2 pick with that shooting form
You should look at worst Dunk attempts of all time

draymond shoots like he's wearing a backpack
Hey Dazz, it's not throwing a basketball, it's shooting a basketball.
With some people it is.
That's no different than saying it's not throwing the ball it's pitching
Seeing him play over on the blokes channel, its definitely throwing for him 😂
@@brandonhinrichs4393 it's not the same. Throwing and pitching is the same technique. Shooting and throwing is not.
@@gregorywilliams1308 so is shooting a basketball and shooting a gun the same technique
It’s amazing how these guys have been watching / reacting / learning about different sports for years now and still barely know anything lol.
React to Paul pierce top 34 plays please! Love the videos
Lonzo ball had a bad eye on one side so he put it on the other sider
Some of those clips are so old there isn’t a three point line
Watch some prime James harden mixtapes ik that older dude would enjoy
Yall over here laughing and making fun of them but i bet yall shot form is horrible.
