Osh you intrigued me back in the day when you were big on pitching mechanics, now you've intrigued me with shooting mechanics. May you elaborate kind sir? Or have reading material/links so I can look into this more?

I now realize it's because, feet shoulders square, jumping straight up straight down, are just flat out wrong.
When you watch elite shooters closely NO ONE does this.
and there youtube channels that have codified what exactly they do.
Let put it like this
Myth 1.
Jump straight up straight down.
Good shooters don't do this, really wrong, especially if you want to have three point range. good shooters jump, sweep feet forward and shoulders lean back. Jumping forward gives you greater power from your base, while leaning back allows you to maintain a consistent release point and trajectory.
I am a constant shot tinker-er
I have and will continue to use "straight up and down" in terms of this:
Balance. Some examples these kids see in the NBA are fadeaways, leaners, stepbacks. To be a good jump shooter IMO your balance is EVERYTHING. If you are in a set shot or what i call "walk-in position" and you are finishing on one foot (back foot) or falling forward or sideways you will never be consistent TO START. Once you get a + jumper then yes lets learn the pretty NBA stuff.
Kids want to jump to advanced and not go through the process.
"I don't care where your feet do or where they land (front,same or back) as long as you land on 2"![]()
If you look at my avy, that's after a LH in-out stepback. My shot thoughts are "gather, balance, release"
Just my thoughts from the teaching experience and practice.
http://nypost.com/2015/05/18/mystery-stud-mudiay-phil-jackson-would-make-me-a-star/Mystery stud Mudiay: Phil Jackson would make me a star
Point guard Emmanuel Mudiay is ready to make the jump from China to the Big Apple at a moment’s notice as he raved about potentially playing for the Knicks, and believes Phil Jackson can turn him into an NBA star.
The 6-foot-5 Mudiay also realizes if he didn’t play in China, perhaps he’d be viewed as a No. 1 pick instead of in the 3-to-5 range. But he said he has no regrets.
Making an appearance at the Champs store in Times Square, Mudiay, who jumped from high school in Dallas to the Chinese Basketball Association, is anxious for Tuesday’s lottery. The Knicks are seeded second. After the two big men — Karl-Anthony Towns and Jahlil Okafor — many feel Mudiay will be picked third because of his massive upside at point guard, ahead of the better-known D’Angelo Russell of Ohio State.
The Knicks have Mudiay squarely on their radar.
“He’s a winner, I know that,’’ Mudiay said of the Zen Master. “He knows how to win and make players better. If I’m lucky enough to play for him, I’d definitely try to pick his brain at anything. I already know he’ll make me into a great basketball player.’’
Mudiay flew into JFK in the late afternoon and was whisked to Times Square, where a long line gathered for his autograph. Ironically, Russell, his longtime rival, had been at the store just prior.
It’s a great city, it’s the city of basketball,’’ Mudiay said. “The mecca — a great city to play for. It’s a beautiful city. They love basketball. Every time I’ve come down to play in high school, I’ve loved playing down here. If I was drafted by the Knicks it would definitely be a blessing. A historical team in the NBA, I’d love to come out here.’’
Mudiay did not enjoy the exposure of college ball, and also injured his ankle in December playing for Guangdong. He didn’t return until the CBA playoffs in late March. so he comes with a shroud of mystery.
“I feel it’s a part of it,’’ Mudiay said of not being considered as a No. 1 pick. “I went across the [globe]. The USA didn’t get to see me play college basketball. They got to catch up with a player now entering the draft. I was here my whole high school career and AAU days. They have a feeling of who I am. The players know who I am. I’m confident in what I can do.’’
Russell said he considers himself the draft’s best player. Mudiay won’t use that superlative.
“Me and him knowing each other since the eighth grade, competing against each other,’’ Mudiay said. “I ended up going to China and we didn’t meet each other in college. He had a great season in Ohio State. I had a good season in China.’’
Instead of Russell, Mudiay went against Beijing’s Stephon Marbury in the CBA semifinals. Marbury outplayed him on the way to a title.
“It was definitely a good experience, he’s definitely a great guy,’’ Mudiay said. “He gave me good advice as well.’’
“Not one [regret],’’ Mudiay said of turning down a scholarship offer from SMU. “It definitely made me prepared to be a professional basketball player with the traveling and shot clock, playing against grown men.’’
Not known as a great shooter, Mudiay is projected as a beast in getting to the basket and is extremely athletic.
“I’m big on winning,’’ Mudiay said. “I want to show I’m a winner and leader — lead by example on the court and off. I think making my other teammates better is my main thing.’’
i remember when this gif worked for Bulls fans. May the Lord bless the Knicks with Karl Anthony Towns.
