- There's so much that goes into this, but I figured I'd put together a few of the major details I see when I watch Steph play. Most of this he's never thought about or trained for consciously, but that doesn't mean you can't get to work on these techniques!

His off ball movement is in a class of it's own
GOAT off baller 🐐
I've said that too. People talk about Reggie, Chauncey Billups, and Rip moving off the ball, and while those guys were definitely great at it, I don't think they moved quite like Steph does, especially not while being the focal point of an offense, or even a defense, for that matter.
and Klay
Best since Reggie and Ray
Ray Allen did the same thing.
I love that “anticipatory deceleration” phrase, it’s not complex but sounds super fancy 😂 you need to trademark that ASAP
Section should have just been called “anticipation” though, cuz he also talks about rotational anticipation
Important detail about curry's game
1. stable base with the first step
2. anticipatory deceleration
3. getting the ball to his shot pocket in any direction
4. good body coordination
5. good at getting open
i saw the title and i was like YESSS 😂😂
Mr. Always In Range. I still remember when his ankles were as brittle as doritos and shit. Crazy to see him having this kind of career.
Mans was getting injured every game
Yea weight lifting is fun
@@SULLY937 A lot of unilateral work and yoga to strengthen his legs and core. Keke Lyles saved his career.
I’m glad that you uploaded this video. It shows the breakdown of the actual shooting mechanics behind his shot making. Awesome 👏
Stephen Curry is not even out of this world... HE'S OUT OF THIS GALAXY!!! 💪🏀💪🏀💪🏀👽👽👽
I just completed a workout from one of ur other videos abt steph curry shooting
Believe it or not, when I was younger, I use to shoot and play like this and in middle school, It finally became natural instinct because of the repetition. In 9th to 11 grade, I was basically unguardable on the perimeter and had stupid range. I’m 27 and I suck so much ass now. But what I contribute my ability to shoot and play like him when I was younger was because I use to play with my older brother and his friends who were all 4 years older than me. I had to have a fast release, get a good arc, and quickly get into my shooting form before I even stop moving or else I was going to get blocked because they were all taller. The only thought I had in my head at when I played was don’t get blocked. That mentality made me practice how to get my shot up fast and high. I think steph also might’ve had some similarities to how he grew up playing ball because he was a small kid and always playing taller and faster guys. Even melo ball has the same tendicies with his shot and he grew up always playing taller guys. If you want your kids to play like steph, make them grow up playing with taller guys.
Basketball analysis AND funky background music ? Okay I'm sold.
Steph does the work early, that's why he has such a quick and accurate shot even after all his crazy dribbling or offball relocating; his mechanics naturally transition into his shot, instead of waiting until his movement is done first.
The example of him starting to raise the ball up even though he's only planted his 1st foot down on his 1-2 is a perfect example; by itself it probably only saves a few microseconds, but if he's doing similar things with all other parts of his mechanics it's going to add up.
Do the work early and transition each tiny part of the mechanics smoothly into each other.
Fck it's like his shootings instincts are out of the league
And somebody on twitter said Steph's mechanics aren't great. Smh
Some of the best basketball content on CZcams 🔥
I love your videos
Keep it coming ❤️🤞🏾
Great details and videos as always.
Great video as always!
You're right about Steph not practicing just the same standard shot. That's why he has these crazy videos where he throws the ball off somewhere, kicks it or it's passed, or some more bizarre combination, just so he can virtually synchronize his shot from any random event.
Great breakdown!
Yo j
Keep the great content coming
another great video with great points. Aside from all the great points you made, I notice how tight his arms are when he goes from pocket to ready and then shooting. There isn't much flopping around introducing error.
SUPERB content!!!
Just like you said in the beginning, Stephen curry is already a master 👏
3:33 damn, he is gone
It's crazy how you notice these little details coach😂
Good insightful video.
We need part 2 !
This is dope asf
Thanks for this video bro
Steph uses his legs and has perfect form on his shot.
I think Steph usees more of his wrist in shooting and not his lower body. That's why he can still properly shoot the ball even being bump in mid air and changing his form.
@@jeegsaw527 he uses it all, legs and back for strenght, and the upper body as a hole to both add strenght and get the right direction, all because of his beautiful one motion shot
@@caioramos8454 I mean, what he really uses more. You can see it in his set shots. He bearly jump and uses the flick of his wrist more when releasing the ball. He just jump when he needs more force to shoot the ball. I know he is a one motion shooter.
@@jeegsaw527 thats what i mean he uses the leg, jumping high and shooting on the apex (basically a two motion shot) wastes the energy produced by the legs, with an one motion shot you will get it all, is not that he doesnt use it, he just dont waste it by jumping 2 feet off the floor
Fuck yes. The best basketball analysis channel posted! Breaking down the most skilled player of recent times!!
This video was great
What I noticed the most is when he's shooting, he didn't release when the ball on top of his head like he can't see his shooting hands like other players. He shoots it when it's high but he can see where his hands is going. I did this too and I gotta say my shooting is really really really improve. I've always watch his game and observations on his tricks.
Insane
so basically he is a one in life time. OK
No shit? He’s the greatest shooter ever you’re never gonna be able to work to where he’s at unless you have some of his talent. Yes he’s worked very hard but he’s always had a lot of talent to go with it, his family tree says everything
curry to draymond, back to curry... for three. baaang!
another attention to detail vid. awesome.
When is shiftiness part two coming out??
The GOAT
I think ur missing that when he brings his ball up. He has his hand on the side of the ball rather than under the ball. This mean that he can keep the ball close to his body and make the distance to bring the ball up shorter and quicker
Can you please do a breakdown on Alonzo Trier . My Knicks waived him
Pls make a video on his ballhandling
Could you do one on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sometime?
hip is very important too
Make a video about tall point guards
My personal problem: what that supreme off ball movement means when your teammates are greedy ballhogs and DON'T PASS you the rock???😤😤😤
This why I only hoop with my homies. When I’m hooping with strangers , my off ball movement is no good 🤦🏾♂️
My man, Can you do one on John Stockton?
This is from my own observation but this is what I gather from seeing Steph shoot
Lower Release Point
Most players I see, tall ones especially have their release above their heads while Steph is lower. Even in this video, his release point is around his face area or slightly higher.
Mostly lower body
His upper body is just follow-through. All the power comes from his base. Unlike two motion shooters like MJ or Kobe, his legs do most of the work. He used to shoot like a slingshot during high school and junior high from the waist, so maybe that's where it comes from. His dad taught him to have a higher release point but the power comes from lower body
45 Degree When Holding The Ball
If you see the front view of Steph as the ball reaches it's apex, his hand is angled on a 45 degree angle. I believe when he holds the ball in his shot pocket, he's holding the ball diagonally. So when he lifts his arm, it'll be on a diagonal 45 degree angle. When he release the ball, he has a gooseneck follow through which then change the ball rotation straight and give's it a spin. Harden also has a 45 degree diagonal angle on his relase point.
Players Tray Young, he places his hands on top of the ball. Traditionally, we're taught to have the U looking elbow and palm facing upwards to the sky on the shot pocket, but this gives stress on the arm and could lead to chicken wing.
That's what I saw anyway
Often, both his feet are on the ground before he raises the ball to shoot. Having just the one foot in the ground is rare for him and most good NBA 3-point shooters. Additionally, he and most shooters with a fast release, are quick at getting the ball from their waist to their set point so it can be very difficult to identify the exact moment when he begins his shot.
Wow! Setting screens to make himself open and wow that backwards peddling. Good points.
Everything you said is right on, but that last point, my man, mere mortals have a hard time just practicing 3-pointers in a controlled manner. If everyone practices shooting off-balance, from half court, leaning forward, etc., my guess is it'll mess up their normal shooting accuracy. Steph is from another planet and I don't think what applies to him applies to others.
Wow! That pass to Curry at the 4:19-4:20 mark way before he gets there and pretty hard and fast that Steph had to reach for it and still got shot off and the referee 😂 looked surprised 😯 as she got out the way; some probably thought 💭 he threw basketball 🏀 out of bounds.
To me what makes Curry to be able to be the best shooter ever is his absurd all time ball handling (not dribbling), that makes him able to bring the ball up to his gather and let it fly faster than anyone I have ever seen, with the best touch/feel.
Mechanically wise, I think the most important (and probably the only "requirement") of his shooting form, is bringing the ball up to his gather point (around his right jaw/eyebrow area) and let it fly ASAP to not loose any momentum. It's not a one motion shot per se, but he does this so fast it looks like one motion .
That is my take after seeing, studying, copying, emulating the best ever in this aspect of the game, which again I consider is allowed by his insane BALL HANDLING.
Hey i have a question i am a 5'3 pg and i am a great ball handler but i do not have a very good court vision please make a video for short guys like me
I'm pretty sure he uploaded a video about scanning the floor within the last month.
Neeeeed an attention to detail vid on Shai
Anybody who thinks Curry won't get anymore rings is a WHOLE fool.
💍
Great detail, thanks coach! What is the BGM?
The bgm is a sample from the funk band RUFUS......the sample is from the song "Stay".
EXCELLENT music by the funk band RUFUS.
His SHOULDER is not stiff. It's too fast.
Wrist power. Legit!!!
Waist (Back to square) movement much faster around Kyle Krover.
Off-ball shooting is something which makes us unbelievable.
He's surely tough player
💯
💯💯💯
Have you seen the way he does his pre-game practice? He playing like it as if he was in a park doing some random shots from random places.
@3:33 this man is dangerous🙆🏽♂️
Kawhi defense part 2 plzz
i love how there are no dislikes :)
Can you do a full attention to detail about Steph curry please I watch your other stephen curry videos but please can you make a full attention to detail video about Steph curry please
I play just like that
has his shot changed over the years? just an idea for a vid.
I’m still young and I shoot with one hand, but I can’t get enough power to shoot from the free throw line
Bro what’s the instrumental? The song sounds so familiar
When i move that much offball,i usually find myself in a choking situation.Like i cant breathe how am i gonna shoot?I am normal weighted btw.
How can i solve that coach
you movement, footwork, and overall agility has gotta be on point, also might have to shuffle a bit and get a little handsy with your defender. A strong base and core has helped me a lot as well but that's just me.
Greatest scorer ever
😬
Plz do a full Kyrie Irving player breakdown plz....
3:32 handle
Automatic like!!!
Can we please get a shai Gilgeous Alexander breakdown?
Looks like my except I'm 6'6

1st
Let's start with black genes. If u ain't got that...Good luck with anything u try. Ur first step is never going to be fast enough to score. U have to rely on height then like euro players.
His jumpshot looks fake. Like it only exists in video games. How in the honest fuck can one man body 3's like he does? Better pick him up at full court or he will cook you off the dribble and rainbow in your face. Holy shit.
Curry make NBA so boring...no drive under ring likes 1999-2009
