This is amazing! If I was told in 1995 that I could watch allen huston talk directly at me and teach me how to shoot the basketball I'd piss my pants. Great content! MAny kids that grew up years ago just played ball without coaching, making all the possible mistakes and getting unnecesarily injured. Nowadays you can do it right, all you need is an internet connection and you are on your way to try and make your dreams come true. We live in a great world and should appreciate it.
You love to see it, definitely the bright face of our ever-improving world, especially compared to the past.Things being WAY better than what is generally thought. Evident luxury. Shutting up the doomsayers worse than Houston (who was pure luxury to have on the court) did back in his career. The guy was a certified premier player besides being a kind class act already; no wonder they called him, definitely the best choice.
I wish i would’ve learned fundamentals the proper way and not just learning off the fly because sometimes I think to my self “was I shooting wrong this whole time?” Either way I still developed a silky shot as I got older it just makes me think how Much better I would’ve gotten if I stayed playing for the basketball league at my local park during my early teenage years
This dude was one of best pure shooters of his era, and of all time, He has great shot mechanics. Aspiring players should study him for his mechanics and efficiency,no wasted motion, pure genius, absolute genius.
No this dude is a legend everywhere,, especially for FANS in the know. Sweetest jump shot on the planet. i hated to see him and Dell, Reggie, Ray, Mark Price caused they lit scoreboard up every time.
Something I find odd (maybe because of my own issues) is that none of the shooting instruction videos straight up say that you should shoot along the line of the right shoulder (if right handed). What I mean is, I have always shot since I was a kid to shoot the ball directly along the centerline of my body (so if I stopped it as I came up the ball would be directly between my face and the rim) because I always thought that I should be looking inline with the shot so that it was more accurate. I didn't learn until recently that you're aiming from off your left shoulder. I guess everyone just assumes that is known but I'm an example of why you should straight up say it.
Allan Houston is a better shooter than Steph Curry. Steph Curry gets alot of screens. Allan Houston did not need them and could create his own shot easier. Allan Houston's shot is very quick like Jerry West's and he can make it from any part of the court as could Oscar Robertson and Jerry West. Hardly any NBA player is very good at shooting from everywhere. Its very rare.
1 a good channel useful tips I advise everyone to work out a throw at speed because a throw from a place and a throw at speed are different in the game it affects 2 can someone tell me how often it is necessary to wash the ball after playing on the street and whether it should be done ?
came here because i just cant seem to throw the ball properly. i always end up pushing the ball with my guide hand. i don't have the issue with hitting my shots, i usually hit most of them. it just doesn't feel right.
I hit 4 (24 hour fitness) 3’s in a row after watching this video and couldn’t really shoot at all before. Even the ones I missed looked way more accurate. Watched the video in my car before the gym practiced for 30mins and played. Thanks!
I’m a total beginner was making maybe 2 of 10 free throws. Simply watching this excellent video and practicing the shooting form increased my free throw percent up to 50%
thank you! i am an adult and only ever played basketball as a kid in school pe and suddenly have been interested in playing, but never learned the basics!!! very helpful
@@dusk6159 Just like what happened to Penny, the knees problems cut their careers short. Ironically both were from the same NBA draft class back in 1993.
He’s a great teacher. Allan Houston was probably an excellent high school /college student given how meticulous he is with the details of good shooting form
It's a progress. I also had that experience, but as I practiced more (didn't watch this video before) I could shoot 3s better, but not that consistent morely 1-2 shoots consecutively before I miss.
Don't focus too much attention on your technique. Just shoot the ball. Shooting should be natural. Most great shooters don't have a perfect technique. They achieve success through repetition with the shot that makes them comfortable the most.
Don't aim at back of rim. You will miss more. Jerry West NBA Legend that was a great shooter says aim at front of rim. Usually ball can bounce off front and go in. Have a soft shot it will bounce in more. I could make mid range when open at 90 something % when I was 16/17. 3s at 70 something % and open. Highschool 3 arc range
Everyone has a different shooting style. Just came off of watching "how to shoot like Curry", which is different from Kobe showing how he shoots, to this.
They talk about Reggie, Ray and the Splash Bros. being amongst the best shooters of all time, but let's not forget about this guy. One of the most beautiful shooters to play in the NBA.
Bro take it from me that this is the best tutorial I used to be worse than half of the kids at my school and had dreams I looked at many videos but this one is by far a the most helpful one and now I’m in d 1 and I’m only in 7th grade my height isn’t that great but I’m a late bloomer I’m only 5”4 but I am younger than almost everybody too so yeah
Like 20 years back a got a Training packet from Kickz with a Nike Ball plus a Shooting Turorial Video with Allan Houston. Without beeing in a club I developed a solid shooting style (midrange), which is still my greatest weapon today on the Court. Thank you very much, Allan!!! Blessings from Germany!
High release is theoretically the ideal release, and it is for midrange, but you get less friendly bounces from 3 than a 60-70 degree release which is still high but not straight up. This has been proven. Also look at any excellent mid range shooter, wade derozan, high release. Curry and Thompson, 70 release
Lebrun: Let's talk about the fundamental of travelling amd flopping and flagrant fouling your opponents ALL WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT! The secret of doing those is that you have to be THE CHOSEN ONE!
Honestly, you don’t really need to have your feet set to the basket. Look at Curry, Lillard, Harden, PG13, Kyrie etc. They all have their feet slightly tilted, and it also releases tension on your shoulders.
I am here because I have never played basketball In my life but got 3point shots back to back so I ended up liking the game So anyways I am getting my first basketball training this night I'm 17 btw
So I just found my brothers old ball and blew it up so I could try Basket ball because my best friend really likes playing it… and now I’m here because I can’t hit one shot
if you got big hands like Houston. If you have normal size hands like curry, you shoot differently and not follow that 2nd step so much. as long as the ball finishes over your shoulder, not coming inside at all
I'm here because Allan Houston was and still is my favorite basketball player ever. He never got the recognition he deserves and I'm glad that after years of me explaining to anyone who would listen that he had (and still has) the prettiest shot in basketball.... it's no surprise they asked him to do this tutorial.
No doubt. I thought I was the only one who considered my favorite also. Good to know, great minds think alike. Wish he could shoot for the Knicks now. Even when he missed, all his shots looked like they would go in. - Juls
I am a pro player 2nd league. I love how stiff his wrist on the starting pic of the video. Way to go. Ya'll can learn how to practice sfitted wrist shots. Lol
Helped me immensely in combination with Steve Nash shoot around. I also saw a video about acknowledging if im left or right dominant. I'm alot more aware of my form now and how da ball feels. Just need to practice alot more. But I definitely feel a bad release from my good ones. Night and day difference from me 3 days ago lol. Secret sauce: I tried to make the U shape with my left hand and shoot with my Left for a bit. It was a struggle....but almost instantly my handle with my left hand was better. Something to try if you can't do shit with your off hand lol
One of the best pure shooters to ever grace the hardwood. An absolute favourite memory of mine from the late 90s era is when he hit that shot against Miami.

Thanks for showing me. Now I can shoot well
Thanks, Allen Houston!

Imagine if he missed the shot.
I seem to get into the habit of using my guide hand to help shoot, I don’t do it on purpose but it is starting to annoy me
Try practicing up close shots, 3-4 ft shots with just your shooting hand. Do it on all sides of the basket
I laughed at myself after I found out everything he said was true.
Oh Lord, I've been doing everything so wrong.... 😅
Ben Simmons can also relate lol
just do your natural shot
Do we have to have a different form for shooting mid range and threes?
Im going to try that today
I keep bringing my shot to the side
Imagine if Michael gilchrist or shawn marion is teaching this.

Before Ray Allen there was Allan Houston. One of the best pure shooters of the 90's.
imagine if he films it all in 1 take, then misses the shot
Anyobody else just never plays basketball and has never been good at it but randomly wanted to play and has to learn to shoot ? Just me ? Okay.
Allen Houston - The best looking shooting form I ever seen (in my opinion).
whenever i do a super high arc, it ends up being vertically high but rarely ever actually travels any difference
I thought Allan Houston's shooting form off the dribble was just as good.
Forgotten versatile beast Houston was

Just use a little more legs. That's all.
Don't aim at back of rim. You will miss more.

Usually ball can bounce off front and go in.
Have a soft shot it will bounce in more.
