As an undersized guard during my playing days, the slight fade floater (first example) is the most effective move in the paint at the amateur level. One more point to add about that, these types of floaters are always towards the non-shooting side, you're never squared up, and you almost don't slow down and the ball's momentum is generated from your own movement rather than an arm push. Defenders always think that I'm going either for a drive and/or dish and are caught completely off guard with hands down when I pull for that floater. As for my percentage, however, lol that's a different story. Practice practice practice.
I don't think the question that do we really need a left-hand floater can be answered. We don't think they're necessary because rarely anybody uses it, same for left-hand shooting. But something that is rare and hardly unattainable does not necessarily mean you don't need it. Same for many materials in our lives, do we really need lots of money, expensive cars, and houses?

Yeah I just pointed it out cuz I’m a big Sixers fan so that kinda hurt me when u called him embiid. It’s all good tho! I def need to work on my floater game.
I really can’t stand how y’all nitpick so much 😂 work for hours to give y’all free shit and dudes come on here pointing out small errors. My apologies bro lol
By Any Means Basketball aye love your content. You helped me out alot during quarantine and i did all your workouts. Just pointed out a minor mistake though. Nothing but love🙏🙏🙏
Banger! Thank you. You are doing a great job yet again 💯 Watching Harden deal with Gobert, I feel James needed some long floaters to keep him out of Rudy's reach Sometimes he took an extra stride and put himself in trouble! 👍 Also, DWade would use a Floater off a Eurostep Not always getting in for a layup can happen either due to good D or even clever O 👍 Thank you for having us 🙂
There’s videos on RUclips that can help you improve your jumper without a hoop. Just don’t do the drill where you lie down and shoot the ball or else you will ruin your shot.
The most common way is to release with ya palm without flicking ya wrist, having ya hand in the position as if u giving a high five. I prefer full arm extension but it differs per person. Make sure u gather with 2 hands before u begin the actual floater with 1 hand...and release as u r going up not at ya apex....since u shouldn't be jumping too high for ya floaters that shouldn't be difficult to do anyway
@@hengloke I'm a floater god i use it more than i do layups & make them constantly. Im unstoppable with it especially in games fastbreaking & yes im talking in real life i really do play.
Ya'll know what's great? I'm tall for my height in my own country but I always practice guard moves and play like as if I was 4'11 instead. It feels good knowing that I won't have to adjust my game if I were to actually go against people taller than me. 😂😂😂
Is the underhand scoop floater functional at all? I seen curry use it a bit and I feel like it would be faster to get it off than a normal floater. What do y’all think?

Floaters gave me a significant advantage in scoring as a super small guard. I think CJ McCollum has a great floater I usually see him using it a lot.
Solid and effective content!

Is there a way I can practice shooting without a rim?

Yeah you can, you can just practice the motions of all of them to get the hang of it.
How do u do a floater correctly cuz I’m having problem with the right form to shoot a floater
The most common way is to release with ya palm without flicking ya wrist, having ya hand in the position as if u giving a high five. I prefer full arm extension but it differs per person. Make sure u gather with 2 hands before u begin the actual floater with 1 hand...and release as u r going up not at ya apex....since u shouldn't be jumping too high for ya floaters that shouldn't be difficult to do anyway
I have trouble not flicking my wrist on it cus I’m already used to doing it when i shoot
Can you make another full scoring workout?
The fading floater is hella hard to block.
Derrick rose is a floater God. I'm surprised you didn't show him
He’s definitely up there
True floater God is Tony Parker. I swear that guy shoots his mid ranger jumpers with floaters lol.
@@hengloke I'm a floater god i use it more than i do layups & make them constantly. Im unstoppable with it especially in games fastbreaking & yes im talking in real life i really do play.
Thank you too much.

Yes! Versatility is key
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No floater clips from prime D Rose?
Is D-Rose floater a slow-speed 2 footer floater, or a same foot same hand ?
👍
Derrick Rose needs to be in the next one.
How tall are you man?

Is the underhand scoop floater functional at all? I seen curry use it a bit and I feel like it would be faster to get it off than a normal floater. What do y’all think?
