Not cus he shoots with his palm JJ, but since the ball rests in his palm his whole hand and wrist can relax and stay loose. Loose muscles fire/twitch quicker. If he were GRIPPING the ball with his fingers he’d probably lose range and power.
For my whole life, I was shooting mid-range and 3's the same. I was never a great 3 pt shooter but, when I realized that the mechanics are different, I started shooting way better. Mid-range jumpers are just what they are, a JUMP shot. Three's (for me) come more from the legs, and I release on the way up, rather than at the top my shot.
People are finally asking the questions that were already answered a decade ago. Dame does things on his jumper that coaches have tried to remove from their athletes forever. Thank goodness we’re finally reaching a point where people actually understand! Shouts to Dame for helping lead the revolution with Steph 🫡
I don’t remember my bball coach ever saying keep your fingers on the ball. I think it was just understood. So, it’s really weird how Lillard shoots. I do recall bball coaches saying to keep your elbow in. Shoot with your pointer finger. Wrist snap. Follow through. There’s some things we can challenge now about some of those traditional techniques.
1:54 There is so little wasted motion. This generates so much power and less time spent on the fingertips means less time for the ball to be twisted/roll per se off the hand, changing the axis point at release. fingere basically act as leaf springs with different tensions that can change the way the ball comes off the hand. Id like to see the slow motion differences between Dame, Klay, Steph, even Ray Allen, JJ, Korver, and Reggie Miller. But Dames shot is literally so amazing to watch. His power and form he had during that 3-pt contest he won this year was ART!! Poetry in motion as you say.
How can you hate on this man? Such a class act, very smart, very humble, articulated, focused. Dame is one of the few left in the league that kids can have as role models.
@@bitcoinethereum9702 You think he is "most every efficient and fundamental scoring guy are in the league"? Wtf is up with your user name?? That's your identity..."Bitcoin Ethereum"...bro what about it???
Dame and cj McCullum gotta be some of the best speakers in the nba the insight into the game, business, and the emotion. Keep it up Jj get basketball podcast out here 💯
I used to shoot like that in middle and high school. My release wasn't very fast so i had a high arc. When i stopped i couldn't shoot anymore unless it was off the dribble. I'm 27 now and I have never shot the ball close to that well again
Seeing two guys who love, understand, and have played the game, and actively still pay attention to the league and how and WHY it's changing, is SO much better than seeing which "THINGS WERE BETTER BACK IN MY DAY" guy see who can have the hottest take.
J J is so good bringing out these insights from players he interviews. Dame Dollar is also good at communicating what he sees and learns as he puts practice into actions. (:
I remember back in 2011 on 2k i was a 3pt specialist PG in my player. That was the most fun i had in any 2k game to date. I’d score 50 a game basically all 3s. Im saying this to say that the league has almost become 2k in a way. Never did i think back then 10 years later players would be shooting 10-15 3s a game. The writing was kinda there cause Steph was already in the league but still it’s wild to see these days. Great interview by Dame!
@Dev Zant At LA Fitness, I body all the middle school kids. Buckets for days!! If I was Japanese I would have made the league easy!! They call me Muffy on the court!
Not mad at you he’s top 5 long range for me. But I respect Chris Jackson (Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf), mark price, Larry Bird, Reggie Miller , ray allen Splash bros in there own league
@@daundisputedtake7238 none of the guys you named took as crazy and various shots as dame. if dame shot the same shots they took he'd have a better percentage
I’ve studied dames form for a while now since rookie year and it’s always been smooth and consistent. Very interesting. If you look Kyrie does a similar thing when he shoots where his fingers are slightly off the ball up until the release. Aka a “palm shooter”
Kyries left hand rides the ball way longer and why his left thumb alters his rotation. Main reason his percentages aren’t as high as Dame from distance
I shoot like this. People tried to change my shot when I was in middle school and high school. Messed my shot up for months so I just reverted back to what felt comfortable 😂
Same I started shooting when I was young however I thought felt good to me. I give it a lot of spin off my finger tips. Weird looking shot. My confidence fell when I would hear criticism that how do I shoot like that or because the form looked different. But I also heard people say they want to learn how to shot like me so I know I ain’t doing much wrong.
Yeah once you have a form you are comfortable with just keep it that way, i tried to change for like few days and i messed up my old form and couldnt make shots.
I hate when people try to force players to change jumpshots, unless you are lonzo or Michael Kidd Gilchrist let them do them. Tweaks can be fine but completely changing it is too much.
I think the palm probably helps some because you have more surface area to apply force, but it isn't like a cheat code. Dude hits from everywhere and is an amazing finisher.
Jj redick ending this interview with a 3 minute monologue justifying ending his career on LA Clippers getting outmatched by Houston Rockets... Dame: That's crazy man
You can win without being 3-pt dominate; you’re just going to need to have tremendous accuracy/efficiency, and/or be able to defend in such a way as to shut down the opponents 3-ball. Superb accuracy and/or superb perimeter defense is the only way to change the game from its current state without changing the rules.
Bruh, all NBA players and coaches are telling everybody that you can't win without shooting threes in today's NBA, it's just basic math as Dame has said. Old school basketball won't work in today's game. They have to defend people in the 3 pt line and fight multiple screens. If you are a big that has poor footwork, you gotta get beaten by hybrid bigs today.
No, you just need better coaches create a system that utilize the strengths of your players. 3-ball is not the problem. 3-ball makes the game better. It completely opens up the defense and that allows cutters, that allows pockets of space in the midrange and the paint, if a center is a shooter. The warriors score more points in the paint than you realize. Without posting up, how is it possible? Because of the 3pt.
I can see how that COULD be more consistent. The bigger muscles in your arms are probably able to produce more consistent and deliberate movements than the small muscles that move your fingers.
This. U can have the worst shooting form ever. Of u believe that every shot u take is going in, they are goin in. But u gotta believe like it's the most obvious thing like there's 100 percent chance that it's going in. U gotta have the dumbest believe in it . And u'll be a great shooter
What’s more important is points per attempt not make, doesn’t matter if a shot is worth 2 or 3 if you miss it. Not to mention the rebound chance off miss.
I deadass remember there being a thread on RealGM and then /r/NBA like, a decade ago, pointing out that weird quirk in his shot. Cool to finally see him talk about it.
The 3 point line needs to change to a semi circle at the top of the key , distance out long or short doesn’t matter just remove the 3 point line from the corners to give basketball a variety of player skill sets to make basketball interesting again..
It doesn't matter how many attempts teams put up if they are not making them or a team plays really great/good defense makes it that much harder to make them. Defense Matters.
still never the same teams rn has more ground to cover than back then offense is not the same hence defense is not the same anymore you cant just clog up the paint and throw bodies at post players like before now defense goes way beyond the 3 and trying to chase people off of screens
Warriors and lakers both ran some triangle offense in there win in the finals also jason kidd is the new mastro of the triangle offense i love this game of life basketball
It’s so unique to have fingertips off the ball until the end. I wonder if he uses his fingertips on the catch. When exactly do you think the fingertips separate? At the set point maybe?
I Often sit like J.J. I've worked hard to feel okay doing it in certain settings. I've put the reps in and now I do a double leg cross. Dame is a bad dude.
1:54 There is so little wasted motion. This generates so much power and less time spent on the fingertips means less time for the ball to be twisted/roll per se off the hand, changing the axis point at release. fingere basically act as leaf springs with different tensions that can change the way the ball comes off the hand.

Back in my day, Lillard’s shooting form would have been drilled out of him by coaches. “Don’t dip the ball, jump as high as you can, two motion the shot” is what we were taught. And it was all wrong.
Oh, and can’t forget the sage coaching, “square both of your shoulders to the basket.” I’m so glad that shooting science has evolved past this nonsense.
“You can not win by the old game, is a math equation”. He should say if we play old game with modern rules. Rules is what shapes basketball. I can not imagine any other reasons for Ray Allen, Stojakovic or Miller not to shoot more in their prime but the impossibility with hand checking and physicality. And it’s the same reason you don’t see USA team basketball not scoring threes like in NBA by far when playing under international rules.
Well I think if there was a coach that could device a near foolproof way of guarding the 3 line.. You can take away the 3 game significantly and reset the game to open floor bball.. Miami' heat's Eric Spo may have the best shot at this
Get good, you still need rebounders, still need dudes to assists, get steals and block shots, 3’s ain’t the only thing, fast breaks help, causing turnovers help, helping teammates find spots on the floor to shoot help as well
It's that split second where you have to focus on the rim, being able to erase opponents, crowd from your mind. Where it's only you, the rim and nothing else
ya, i always think that shooting 40% from 3 is like shooting 60% from 2 in less attempts. Meaning if you dont shoot 3s, you better be hitting more 2's at a 60% clip, getting to the free throw line, and not turning the ball over with penetrations.
You know one thing I have to add is the old way of posting people up is definitely still alive if we look at the top players in the league scoring in the paint, but it is now with the incorporation of the 3-point shot that the offensive has become more deadly and hard to stop. Before the midrange/post was the main method of scoring, but now the post opens up the 3 by drawing double teams and creating movement without the ball, and it creates more opportunity. Before you'd only have 3 point specialists like peja and ray allen taking those shots. Now, you see almost every player incorporating it in their game because of how it opens up the offensive when they are able to shoot.
2005-2007 I shoot from distance in pick up ball and practice it and shot pretty good avg. I remember player on other team telling the guy guarding me, to stop me and he yell I cant guard him all the way out there he will drive past me lol . Im 38 now and did t understand why players never didnt do that. It almost unguardable
I shoot like this my fingers barely touch the ball. I tried the conventional way of shooting like flat fingers on the ball and my shot got messed up. Also I generate a lot of force shooting like this. Which I don't know how or why LMAO

I think that shooting from his palm does actually help his range. It’s like he get’s more of a launch off the palm. At least that’s what it seems like
Yep and probably more accurate too
And that he shoots on the way up using his legs.
Yeah I'd imagine it has more energy transfer so there's less lost and wasted energy.

Before the midrange/post was the main method of scoring, but now the post opens up the 3 by drawing double teams and creating movement without the ball, and it creates more opportunity. Before you'd only have 3 point specialists like peja and ray allen taking those shots. Now, you see almost every player incorporating it in their game because of how it opens up the offensive when they are able to shoot.
basically he proves as long as he gets the ball to spin after releasing then he is good.

I shoot like this my fingers barely touch the ball. I tried the conventional way of shooting like flat fingers on the ball and my shot got messed up. Also I generate a lot of force shooting like this. Which I don't know how or why LMAO
