Re: 2k Mechanics Open Discussion Thread

It's not like Curry was like MY FORM WAS PERFECT as the ball is on his fingertips ITS GOIN IN. No, but you can tell by how it looks.

Well, I would say those words are going through his mind and his confidence level is 95%. Great shooters get that “click” when their muscle memory hits that sweet spot.

Greens at 90-95% success rate depending on how good the shooter is I think is the best compromise.

That 95% confidence level when the ball leaves our finger tips combined with the resulting swish leaves us with confirmation bias that our release was perfect.

So most times you’ll end up thinking its perfect and it’ll probably go in 95% of the time if you’re a great shooter.

But it would be mathematically disingenuous to say that it was perfect 100% release.

Do I believe in green releases? Absolutely.
Does it bother me that they are 100%? No.
Would I welcome a small chance of greens missing? Absolutely, that’s probably the most realistic mechanic and true to real life.

This is pretty much how I feel....even if it's only 1/100th of a percent, there should be a chance that the ball was slightly over inflated, you hit a tiny imperfect spot on the rim, on one of any of a large number of factors that are out of your control.

If you were to apply similar logic to other situations, if there were a shot block meter I could green to guarantee blocks, or steal meter for steals, or a rebounds meter for boards there would be an uproar about it.

If I'm in my range, and I'm not even a shooter, and I have the kind of look I want, I think I'm hitting 70-80% of my shots unless I really do something wrong (that feels wrong.) That's why I will always take game winners (playing to x score) after not shooting all game. Something about that moment. I have supreme confidence and my J has very littler variance in terms of body. I'm like Larry Bird 5 inch jumper haha.



But I miss. I miss FTs. I'm a half step out of my range, my legs are tired, I'm breathing hard. I shot some yesterday to test. I can shoot w/ my eyes closed and I have a feeling I shoot a lot with my arms because closing my eyes after I'm squared up often leads to short but on line Js. Closing them at the end, yea I mean it's in, but it's in anyway. I don't have any ability to perceive nuance with muscle memory. I can tell with my whole body plus my eyes.



It's not that hard to make a shot haha. I mean those guys make a bunch of shots wide open in practice. The hoop isn't like just the right size for the ball. It doesn't have to be a perfect release. You can get it in in many ways. I think it makes more sense like back in the day 'good release', 'excellent release.' And maybe an excellent release would be like 60% on a good 2 and 50% on a good 3.

look at how long he watches that shot before he confirms its in. And this guy has probably shot 100,000(+?) jumpers.
