    Pump fake... Side step for 3??


    Watching ESPN and they're showing clips of Steph in the finals. One shot I see ALL the time in the NBA is getting your man in the air and side stepping for a clean look.

    Not everyone should be able to do it, but especially for corner 3s I would love to see this.

    If I'm not mistaken it is POSSIBLE to perform the move. Pump fake with square, hold the stick to the side while holding square then release. The problem is that with Intimidator, even if your man is falling out of bounds behind you their AOE will make you brick. This is also considered an "off the dribble" shot so that means you'd probably have to have Circus 3s and a 90 plus rating to hit this consistently.

    Honestly, I think shooters in the NBA don't care if they're "off the dribble" anymore. I've discussed previously that a "pull up" jumper shouldn't have to be a LEANING shot. How many times does Steph and other shooters dribble the ball up in transition and just raise up when they get to the line?

    Kevin Durant, Kyrie, Dame, Bradley Beal, Tatum... I've seen them all do this.

    I think if you can shoot, you can shoot. Regardless of situation, leaning, fading, standing... There shouldn't be SUCH a distinction between these shots.

      Really? I’ve played probably over 1000 games in the rec this year and have never seen someone attempt it, much less do it successfully.

        You’ve definitely seen it form one of these play shots or spot ups, lol

        They don’t do the side step animation per se, (I know a few that do that as well, it’s tougher to pull off being a moving shot)but they usually feather the stick to either side reposition to shoot.

          Yeah for sure just dribbling over a few steps to shoot. That's not what he's referring to though (or at least not how I interpreted it).

            Yeah not talking about left sticking. I'm talking about Pump, one dribble side step and pull.

              Yeah, I know there’s an animation for it, Guesss I’m just saying it’s more practical to left stick it
