What is the advantage of the backwards jump shop at 4:20

[@rdilleyuscacroquet5319]

Don’t see it at 29:30. Check video and time please. Usually it’s to get a steeper backswing in a hampered stroke. Not everyone’s cup of tea, though.

[@JohnD213]

Sorry, 4:20.

[@rdilleyuscacroquet5319]

Yes, steeper backswing because BK was so close. Pretty awesome shot! As was the previous one by Tamer.

[@JohnD213]

Awesome. It’s like a center snapping to the holder for a FG without looking. At least he doesn’t have a 350 pound nose guard trying to run over him. Have to be careful not to damage the court.
