Jump Shot/Set Shot

There have been some guys with good set shots in the NBA. Brent Barry for one, but he had a high, quick release.

I have a jump shot.

I’m a shooter, and my set shot is clearly more accurate, but my jump shot is more useful.

I’ve got a good shot, and I’m a great defender but I suck at everything else.

If we wanna give people advice say, LEARN HOW TO TAKE THE BALL TO THE HOLE..

that’s how MJ got good. On his clay court that was really windy, he couldn’t shoot shots beyond 15 feet because the wind would take control.

He drove to the basket and made the most out of his athleticism.

I’m the best shooter in my school, but my game is SO DAMN LIMITED because I can’t score in the paint.

People, if you wanna get better, score in the mutha effing paint.

I can dunk, but I’m 6’1.

I can’t dunk in a game though – maybe if it is a fast break and I am 100% all alone.

But yeah, driving is more important because then you can get to the line which also puts your opponents in foul trouble.

im the best in my region to lool

I’m Jewish, that’s why I suck at everything besides hanging around the perimeter!

i’ll take all you to skool in a one on one game

if your great at everything and your “the best in your region” why arent you this highly touted recruit??

Yeah, I don’t have a jump shot, but back in high school, I could shoot better than some of the guys on the Varsity team which is saying a lot because my high school basketball team were state champions and my cousin was a mc donalds all american from my school.. I would spends 2-3 hours every day during my summers off outside just shooting and shooting. I couldn’t practice dribbling too much because I wasn’t on an actual court, so I just shot. I could also play defense very well. During pick up games, I’ve always gotten comments about my defense from actual bball players at my high school. I’ve always been a quick guy, but I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to make the team, so I never tried out.

Learn how to dribble with your head up. And even when u dribble it should only be 2 dribbles most, either pass or shoot after. Puttin the ball on the floor isn’t a really good idea though it’s better to jus play ur motion offence and work it side to side. if u swing the ball fast enough ull get an open shot or a lane. As far as shooting ur shot should always be the same thats why u dont c ray ray shooting sets. But if ur not a good jump shooter. try the turn around fade away. it will create the space u need and its pretty much a one footed shot.

I think its beneficial to have both, when you are wide open you can get set and shoot a set shot, and also concerve energy, but when shooting off screens and with a defender in your face it’s to your advantage to have a high release. I’ve always used both and am a very good mid range shooter, but I’m not a 3 point threat, I probably would go 1 or 2 for 5 in game situations. Also learning the step back shot to create space, much like Kevin Durant does is great to add to your shooting arsenal.
