Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 4563149, member: 78"] I think Joe has a better approach and I bet gmac would do it the same way if he were 20 years younger. Players these days are releasing the ball on the way up, the jump is just to give you a little more power on longer shots and letting it go earlier helps get the shot off before you need to get it over somebody. I read a book recently where the guy talks about european players doing what he called an elevation shot - cross between a set shot and jump shot (adam filippi, he thanks boeheim in the book) (reading and watching everything i can trying to help an eleven year old kid with my genes, ok dude if you really want to play this impossible game, you better be able to shoot ) if you have to lift a lot to shoot over someone, you're not open and you should pass it to someone else who doesn't need to lift so much. give me a more open shot a little further away [/QUOTE]
