Here's How Ray Allen Teaches Jump Shooting 

😂😂

Yea that was mad funny 😂😂😂

Catching strays hahaha

Because he’s been working with Josh hart on his form lol

Boo

Hearing the greate explain their sport in depth....never gets old

Facts. It's all body mechanics at the end of the day.

Yeah. But he’s clearly not a (good) golf instructor.

I love how he immediately brings up a golf swing. Look at Charles Barkley swing a golf club and you can see how quickly a broke jump shot can develop.

Lmao I was like damn😭😭

Literally laughed out loud

Lmao 😂💀

I just got to that part and ran to the comments 😂

Ray Allen was in the zone tho, he didnt even think about laughing lol

Yea that was his most profound point.

Everybody can b a shooter though idc what tha form is if u putting in the work

Gilbert arenas said the same thing. He’s a trainer. He said train ppl to elevate their abilities. One size doesn’t fit all. His sons is a top hs player in the country, and only a sophomore.

Nothing better than this!

He was nasty with the sonics & bucks people 4get how complete of a player he was sweetest shooting form I've ever seen

@@abandonedtownexplorations8736thats why it was crazy when he went to the celtics

Shidd the ball prolly still bigger than your head brah unless u megamind

@@Henry-kv7zl😂

you probably have a junk trailer park form

@@Henry-kv7zl Lol true 😂😂

@@Alien-_-Clawson Every 8 year old has a Janky form until your strong enough to shoot the right way 🤡🤥 Being the shortest player on all my teams made me probably the best shooter on all the teams I played for 🎯

This is honestly very creative, didn’t know that bit about darts either.

@@LosPeeps0609 thank you!

But you shoudnt release the ball with the thumb. Shoud you?

​@@Brian-wy2odYou shouldn't release darts with your thumb either. A good throw spins off of your pointer or middle finger, which gives it the direction and height too

I disagree with Ray Allen on this. Most great shooters do have the ball resting a bit on their palm. That's not actually what differentiates a good shooter from a bad shooter. He summed it up at the end. Great shooting is simply about timing your lift with your release. That's literally the most important part. If you can do that consistently every time your shot will be good because youll be driving with your legs while aiming with your wrist and hand. As long as you move the ball slightly before you will ALWAYS naturally shoot with your hands and wrist. You will also never get off hand interference.

For me it was simple, with infinite tweaks and repetition. Throw the ball up? Did it go in? Okay, do the same thing. Now do it using the least amount of energy. After thousands of reps it begins to form

It's because you practiced wrong....1 million bad repitions where you're doing it wrong will not help you improve. This is what most guys don't understand. Shooting is about timing. It's about getting the power from your legs and transferring that energy into the release. At the same time the aim comes from your elbows, wrist and fingers. Essentially what Ray Allen said at the end. You have to match your release with your lift. That's HOW the transfer happens. It's also how you shoot from deep. Shooting far actually requires less power than many people think. It actually only requires you being able to transfer the power from your legs well. Again it's all timing. I actually played in high school and wasn't a great shooter until I turned 29. Like you it used to frustrate me a lot because I could never consistently figure it out. Some days I'd make shots but some days Id airball everything. I watched a video by some shooting expert on Instagram one night and he said. Bring the ball up first and then jump and flick at the same time. So I did that. Very slowly at first. I'd bring the ball up and then jump and shoot. By the end of the day I was hitting 10-15 straight threes but not fast. But it was working. So then I just decided okay this works but it's too slow for a game. I started watching my game tapes and realized that all the good shooters in the league jump and release at the same time and it's usually a slight jump forward. So I tried it. I'd just jump and flick as soon as I'd get the ball at the same time. Faster. And guess what? It worked. This is a true story, I now average 5 threes a game in my men's league. Prior to that I hadn't hit a three in the last 2-3 yrs. I have teams that specifically try to double me and focus on taking away my shot because of how many threes I hit. I'm still always trying to improve but I realized that I came a long way as well. My next thing I hope to improve on is getting my shot off the dribble faster. I struggle with that.

Eh... I think JJ was just being polite/a good podcast host/was interested in hearing from Ray. Ray gives good advice here, but its nothing remotely new or unique to anyone who knows how and has spent years shooting. Which JJ has.

I literally wrote the same comment. Literally shooting well all boils down to that. I tell guys I meet (I'm really really good at shooting) and so naturally people ask me how? They think it's like wizardry but I wasn't a natural born shooter, I actually learned the timing release with the lift like Ray said. The funny thing is once you understand that concept its crazy how easy shooting becomes..then it's just about increasing the speed and your good. The wild thing is anyone can become a great shooter because it's actually a very easy concept to learn once it clicks.

Back my early high school days, it was either Houston's or Glen Rice's form we'd emulate . But I always thought Allan's form was a thing of beauty. Even though I thought my form looked a bit like Houston's, it more resembled Reggie's 😂

Steph is right... It's Klay... Though Alan Houston is great too

Yeah and glen rice

No one ever said he was underrated what you talking about

@@MRHIPHOPVEGANhe’s talking about ray’s overall game. everyone knows how good he is as a shooter but he used to fake people out at the rim and poster mfs. was really good at stripping the ball as well. he was in the dunk contest at one point; his shooting was never questioned but people forget he could do way more than shoot

@@h0tpotatoes exactly, well said. Late in his career and even oftentimes in Boston he ended up as a spot up shooter, and since those are the years he had the most success, that's what people remember him by. Especially young kids who didn't see it live. As a UConn fan he used to dominate all aspects of the game for us when he was in college

"underrated as a player"? he is in the hof

@@g..._anthony27 these people think anyone that they watched while growing up is underrated these days

Bruh a couple years ago I changed my form to try to replicate Korver’s and my shooting got sooooo much better

Seen that guy run the floor at a 24 Hour fitness. Just snapping the net from 35’-40’. It was crazy to see how much better he was than everybody else. Even bench players in the NBA are DIFFERENT

Coaching

😂😂😂😂
