Well it can effect it in a good way..if you work your triceps you can improve your shooting range..

remember to constantly shoot during the time that you are working out so there are no surprises when one day you can sink a half court shot but you over power layups

Jordan said it didn't effect his shooting, when he started to do workouts on game days

it will eventually as you get stronger when your shooting those 3's obviously when you did before you put different strength in your shot and now that once you get real strong doing curls and shit your gonna notice a difference and have to adjust
