    What NBA has your favorite shot formation... as in how they shoot...?

    Example: a shot formation would be how Webber shoots it in fromt of his head and uses his wrist...


    My favorite is AI, its quick, but not very easy to perform. I shoot like him, just not as a quick release...

    I must agree with you and give my vote to AI.

    Anyone see the Sixers vs. Pistons game a few nights ago? Wow!

    Garnett has such a high release that it is seriously impossible to block... oh and he is arguably the best shooting big man outside 15 feet.

    I think as we all seen, and Charles Barkley pointed out during last year's 3 point contest, that Wesley Person has the best shooting form in the NBA.


    Someone tape how Shawn Marion shoots and show it to him.

    I would have to say Nowitzki is the best shooting big man outside 15 feet, arguably of course!

    Jermaine O'neal, being a F, this guy has a nice follow-through, nice and easy arc and hits jumpers and fade-aways from 15 ft.

    Another is Garnett. Perfect form and makes it look soooo easy.

    Arguably is the key word,Dirk is bigger[7-0] than KG [6-11] and is without a doubt a better shooter outside 15 feet,theres no big man who can drain 3pters like Dirk

    Yea, I'm gonna go with Dirk as the best shooting big man in the NBA. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a man of his size be able to shoot the ball like he can. But, back to the topic. I personally am a fan of Michael Redd's shot. It looks so smooth and it's without a doubt one of the best jump shots in the league. AI's, I don't really like. He doesn't seem to be all that consistent to me. Cause, a lot of the times I see him play, he'll start off completely on fire. Than he misses. Than he never makes it again. Might not necessarily be his shot completely but it's part of it I think.

    the glide had a strange stroke from outside. would start with the ball almost on the backside of his head, then follow through with the stroke like hes throwing it up with both hands, at the same time kicking foward with both legs.

    Dirk has a great shot with out a doubt, but what I hate about it is when he gets set, he puts his feet in like pidgeon foot. Kinda looks stupid. Watch his foul shots, he still might do it. He did it last year.

    Allan Houston or Stoyakovic would be my choices. I also like the touch 'Sheed has from inside and outside.

    I have to go with the clutch Reggie Miller tre followed by the hands-around-the-neck gesture to Spike. Very smooth on both levels. I know he has slowed down, but I remeber the days of heartbreak he served the NYK.

    I love everything about Stojakovic's shot, but there are many players shot formations I like, but Peja's is probably my favorite.

    I like Ray Allen's shot. Now to me, thats a quick release, and a nice from. He has hit them consistantley, and especially when his team needs them. He can shoot the lights out, he's a true shooter.

    He is shooting 41%, the reason why he his % for his career isn't great is cuz his size, its hard to hit shots at 50% with his size, tho he still can improve.
