Stephen Curry Breaks Down the Fundamentals of Shooting | Sports Illustrated

[jimmyink]

He doesnt teach the way he shoots because he breaks alot of rules but it works for him...he is teaching the basics so they can gain a solid foundation that works for most people. Tailor it how u want as a player grom there and master it through repetition

[stephenchen]

Steph: Keep the ball on your finger tips.
Everyone: But you keep it on your palm?
Steph: Yes. Thats why I’m the greatest shooter.

[Inseptipede]

I looked at this video went in my back yard and shit 10 airballs

[kan]

For all of y'all hating, his teaching how to "shoot" not how to shoot like Steph curry lmao.

[hanxin]

Everyone is talking about him teaching the fundamentals, but no one wants to man up and admit that the fundamentals are WRONG. The way we were taught to shoot as kids was WRONG. Shooting form has evolved, the new fundamentals are sweep and sway, dip, turned feet.

[tylernguyen]

that white guy shot like me in elementary lol

[Flowdaboyz]

that white guy shoots like my 11 year old sister.

[tommymack]

Everybody saying "Oh curry is a palm shooter so why is he teaching not to shoot from palm?" He said multiple times, do what is best and comfortable for you.

[shotloc]

THANK YOU! Do you know how many people argue that Steph shoots off his palm. Even if you can't see the spacing he makes sure there is a space between the ball and his palm so he controls the ball with his fingers.

[itzshft]

Secrets:
Turn Feet Slightly
Sweep and Sway
Turn Slightly in Air
One Motion Shot
Don't Jump High On Shot
Release Off Middle Finger
Align Elbow Hip and Shoulder
Lock Elbow On Release
Guide Hand Stays At 80%-90% After Release
Keep Elbow Above Eye On Release

[huskiehuskerson]

I love Step saying keep the ball on the tips not the palm despite the fact he himself shoots like that 😆

[stallionworks]

Coach Rock from I love Basketball show how to shoot like him the best

[dcdddddd]

I use to shoot 2-handed from my chest and when I got into junior high school, my basketball coach told me to put one arm behind my back and practice shooting one-handed. That's how I became a really good shooter.

[timothy]

i came to learn to shoot like step curry but damn Matt has perfect form

[brady.widlake]

0:21 This right here is how NOT to shoot.

[davidkurevija]

Stephen curry says don't let the ball rest on your palm, in the game he has the ball on his palm everytime he shoots. and all his other videos where he says he squares his feet and uses beef that is not true he tilts is feet he sweep and sways. he doesn't know how he shoots, you can use the proper form on a video call "beef vs forest"

[EdwinMactalMusic]

Everything he's saying is the old way. Its not how he actually shoots.
But yeah, if I was a GREAT shooter, no way in hell i'd tell how I really do it LOL

[NiteGamerX]

Noone's talking about the Ilike PP at 0:07 in the captions???

[slothrop]

Literally anyone can shoot like Curry in practice, but not in an official match. The difference between a pro a dilettante is mainly mental. Champion mentality, being clutch, keeping emotions in check that's that real talent is about.

[jemmassssssss]

Steph is so nice man. Wish i can meet him
