Doesn't really matter. Do whatever you need to do to get the ball to go in the basket consistenly. Just look at Shawn Marion. He's got the ugliest shot I've seen but it works.

It's not really from what your describing a sound form. Sure it may go in like with Shaun Marion and people like that, but it's gonna be hard when the you are trying to shoot with a man with your face. He will probably stuff you hard if you do that motion slowly. To get the best shot, when you move down make sure you already have the correct form, and have the ball in the same position. If you move the ball down or up before you shoot, you will prob lose alot of power. My shot is pretty well off, not like the best ever, but it is still pretty good. I know it is kinda confusing in text. Just remember that keep your knees only so low that you just "pop" off the ground, keep your wrist and elbow in a 90 degree angle and release the ball with the fingertips of the pointer and middle finger touching last. Doing that a few times will help your shot. After I tried doing that, my shot got better.

Default Re: a question about my form.

SOMETIMES ur shooting form does matter if u want to make a team or somethng
if u shoot HELLA well but u have a messed up form
the coach WOULD NOT let u in...happened to me once
so i changed my form and my shot% was WAY higher

oh yeah
and start ur form with the ball a little under eye level so u have a fast release time

Question Re: a question about my form.

Yeah basically what errbody else is sayin because some ways you shoot like the regular ( without jumping forward like the pros just straight up with your left hand at the side and ur right hand under the b-ball ) is harder if you`re a weak shooter you`ll just airball so you have to put power on it if you shoot that way without jumpin forward
