In ten years: “the full court shot isn’t just a gimmick”

More of this and less of what LeBron had for breakfast

The math behind Ben Simmons is: If I never attempt a mid range or a three point shot I'll never miss it.

Me: i wanna see Curry Mom: we have Steph Curry at home Steph Curry at home: 13:50

If ESPN has to post something, more like this would be better than just talking about whether or not the season will come back, their opinions will most probably not affect the actual decisions. If they're actually analysts, it's high time we see actual basketball analysis.

When ESPN actually makes quality analysis

Should do an all time version of this 🔥

Was surprised Steph or Durant wasnt on this list, then i realised they are injured

This us the type of content we want to see ESPN. I know y'all see this and the Molly comments.

In his unanimous mvp season, steph shot 63% from 30+feet lmao imagine that.

Nobody: Doris: This is Chris Paul to the Chris Pauliest he can be

This is so easy just put Curry everywhere behind the 3 point line

Flight when he sees this video: Where’s Curry? ESPN made this up.

“He can really stroke it” - Weird commentator talking about Doug McDermott

These analyses are actually mesmerizing and make me want to keep watching. The debates just makes me click away.

“No one is more accurate than from the elbows than Chris....” Me: *Bosh* 😊 “Paul” 😳😳

finally something worth watching

There's actually a pretty simple reason that Lebron is weak on one baseline and Booker is weak on the other... and it comes down to old-school vs new-school shooting mechanics. The old-school conventional wisdom for shooters was to put your dominant foot down last before shooting. So if you're right handed, you get your left foot down first, and then put your right foot down pointed towards the basket. Lebron is an old-school shooter. He's right-handed, but he feels more comfortable getting the screen on his left shoulder before a shot. The old-school rationale was that this gives you a longer time to guage before putting your leading foot down... and also, when coming off a screen, there's more distance between the screened defender and your shooting hand. The problem with this rationale is that: 1. Turns out, your off-foot is more responsible for lining up your shot than your leading foot (because it supports more of your weight launching you slightly forward... plus it's more off center, making your off foot more responsible for maintaining your side to side balance. 2. You get more SPACE going around the screen this way, but the downside is that it slows down your shooting stroke because you have to turn your shooting shoulder towards the basket... which adds about 0.2 seconds to your release, which negates any distance you might have created. 3. Having to turn around the screen the hard way means that you have to correct a lot of twisting momentum in your shot, as well as some momentum pushing you onto your heels (which as any boxer can tell you, being "on your heels" is problematic because there is no balance corrective behind your heels. You're far better off using your toe side to correct your balance than your heel side) Anyway, the best example of old-school shooting is Wesley Matthews. He shoots like a righty, but for some reason, he prefers to set up his shot back to front and likes to come off screens the old way. Lebron is also like that, but to a lesser extent... and Lebron prefers to back down opponents when possible. So with Lebron, if he takes a baseline fadeaway on that side of the court, firstly, he has to set up front foot back foot (which he doesn't like). He's usually already run out of options (he tries to avoid that shot) and he doesn't like spinning that direction into a shot... so that's why that's his least efficient shot. BOOKER on the other hand, is a new-school shooter. He tries to lead into his shot with his shooting shoulder and foot. He likes to take screens on his leading shoulder. He likes to always have his leading shoulder pointed towards the basket. he prefers having time over space for his shot (much like Steph). And if you look at Steph's shooting zones... no coincidence that Curry has only one shot zone below league average... and it's the exact same zone. But why? Well: 1. There's no way to do the standard right-shoulder clockwise turn into that baseline shot for a new-school shooter. You would have to start out of bounds. 2. More times than not, he avoids that shot and only ends up there because a drive attempt failed 3. By the time he's in shooting position, there, he doesn't have toes in a good position to correct side fade (because he has to turn onto his heels). 4. In order to get that shot, he's probably either being doubled late clock, or he's got a big switched onto him (help defender). Most likely, the right play here is to throw a lob, but if he can't see the lob, he's gotta just take the shot... which of course, any time you are forced to take a shot, your percentages will go down. So it's largely because it's the shot on the floor with the weakest setup and the most escape options that... if he takes this shot, you know he's not in a good way. Small note... Lebron needs to add a dreamshake to his favorite moves. That would help him clean up that zone.

thanks you so much i learned alot from this

Great analytic!

MORE of this.. please espn

Adams deserves recognition for both schroeder and Paul's mid range success. Half there makes are off his screens

Finally a good basketball analysis video from this channel! Please keep it up!

3 okc guys own 4 spots on the floor. Makes sense how they did so well this season

Imagine how efficient Curry, KD or Harden would be if they were left wide open like a PJ Tucker. Actually, you don’t have to imagine... there’s video of them hitting 50+ straight threes. For Curry, an open three is a layup. And the fact that Harden shoots around 36% on contested stepback threes is equally incredible. And KD is a bucket when he’s contested so...

I remember when they use to teach. Run back on defense. Get to the paint then find a man. Dame at half court :”Hold My Beer!”

🔥 video These are the types of videos we basketball fans need right now

This was an excellent video.

Finally, nothing about the lakers only chance at a ring, goat debates, and how tik tok will affect players shooting ability. Some real good analyst

lets hope that ESPN will stop with there stupid debates and their start making more of this content, people want actual basketball analysis. Thx to Haje7 for correcting me!!!

Loved it. Can u do the same for guys of the bench.

¡Stupendous analysis!

I’m surprised Demar isn’t here for midrange

Duncan Robinson has the highest e-field goal percentage behind mitchel robinson and Rudy Gobert, 665% that is insane

Wow what a nice video thank you

I almost never watch ESPN but I got this recommended and really liked it!

I remember a couple years ago when the Celtics played the Sixers in the playoffs, every time Embiid would shoot I would be relieved

Hot Zone Hunter in real life.

Haven’t watched an ESPN video all the way through in a while...this was good

I saw the title and assumed it was another channel. Keep making content like this please!

9:40 who thought of the ray allen shot when you heard the commentary

Can we take a moment to appreciate ESPN for posting something actually 'ESPN worthy'

Beautiful video

Need more of this

Thank you for an actual basketball breakdown instead of trying to cook up drama

Ya'al had to do this when Curry ain't playing cause you know he's gonna get highest on every three point zone

It’s actually something that’s entertaining to watch while I’m quarantined! We need more of this!

MORE OF THIS PLEASE !!

For once I learned a lot from ESPN instead of hearing repetitive takes

when 3pt% is higher than mid range%

Thank you

Great video

I reckon CP3 has run that play where the centre screens for him, CP goes left then cuts back hard to the right elbow for a midrange shot a million times and made 900k of them. If the opposition big steps up to challenge him its a free lob for any decent centre rolling off the original screen.

Man those deep 3s from Dame are beautiful to behold. The arc, the splash.

Amazing work. Give this guy a raise!

Great Video

The best use of analytics of seen, but I need to see more analytiques of the best players to determine which one is actually better from the different shooting zones

Bruh,u wanna tell me Dame is 42% from deep...thats crazy.

Love the idea great vid!

What a cool idea! Nice vid

I would like to see the all-time version of this. To see who is the GOAT at each area of the court

Sad that curry was hurt for the most of the season.

Nice video!!Appreciate!🔥

This was surprisingly mad interesting

More of this please ESPN

one of the best videos ESPN has put out in a while

Please continue to make videos like this.

More videos like this and I might start watching espn

Lol thought they were crazy for not having Curry or Durant in some category until I realized it's just for this season

Best content from ESPN we’ve seen in weeks

This video is dope!

Flight: where’s curry man, this is made up

2:09 dang, thats my fav shot to take. but you know, its different when you play pickup.

As a new fan (Lakers), these videos are so useful - and it gives seasoned fans something different to watch. More of this please.

I hope they make a follow up series on types of shot like who has the best euro-step, or floaters, step-backs, etc.

Wow! Good content, i love this video..

I’m surprised when I heard wizards it wasn’t Davis Bertans

Klay and Curry would’ve been on some of those for sure if they were playing

Super interesting

good content

I bet if steph wasnt injured the whole season he'd be in a few of these

If curry wasn’t injured all season he’d own every 3 hot spot, and the wayyyyyy downtown spot

Very interesting

Good video

This is what Iman Shumpert says in an interview regarding LBJ leading the floor. LBJ knows these stats so as to when and where to tighten up the D on a specific player.

Its nice to see i.t. still playing well/decent

this video so good

This is just a good video with lots of surprises

Seeing IT makes me sad as the nba has kinda given up on him

I'm suprised I didn't see Duncan Robinson at all from three

Nice content espn, dude the lillard stat is crazy to even think about. Like u had told this a decade ago people wud have laughed, can't predict what will happen in next5yrs😅

Amazing content, and this is gonna hurt some players when they watch it, lol.

Way to highlight Kirk Goldsberry, who ACTUALLY knows his anylitics 👏🏻

“Westbrook 3, won’t go, rebound George” sounds a little familiar 9:44

yahat was soo good ty

I love this video

This honestly a 2k cheat code lol

I hope the nba season starts again. 🤞

nice video, fr
