    Ray Allen and Kapono are great choices. Novak is solid.


    rare disagreement with emjohn on redd.. not that it's not pretty. But not perfect.. I think it's a left elbow issue if I'm remembering it properly.

    just gotta laugh about tmac.

    kobe and nash aren't quite there. dirk, you could maybe make a case for being with kobe/nash, but not when he shoots his fadeaway--poor choice on the pic!

    allan houston absolutely. mark price was great. glen rice was great.


    dennis scott was pretty good except that he didn't get off the ground very well. but can't fault his athleticism..can you?

    also wesley person..

    Ray Allen by far. TMac's shot is way too flat, no margin for error. Give me a soft, high-arching shot. It may even bounce in. Alridge has a pretty shot. Actually, laugh if you want, so does Wafer.

    1. Ray Allen

    2. Kobe

    3. Ginobili (sweet lefty release)

    Tracy has a cool looking form, but it doesn't make me think it's going in everytime.


    I love watching Allen shoot.

    I'm gonna say Carmelo Anthony.

    Ray Allen has a pretty good shot but it's not textbook form (his right elbow sticks out and he pushes off with his left thumb)

    Wafer's shot is no where near pretty.. elbow sticking out.. but he gets pretty good elevation and arc.

    T-Mac's shot is the smoothest IMO just the way he elevates and follow-through.

    Kobe's shot is the most robotic, slow, and boring but it's consistent and goes in all the time. I still like watching T-Mac on fire more.

    Kobe's shot is kinda ugly for me, but he is the best when it comes to shooting with a hand in his face.
    Steve Novak's is solid, as is Kapono's. A healthy T-Mac has a good looking shot too, he makes a lot of contested shots and gets fouled more often than others when shooting

    Unless you can elevate like Tmac I don't think Tmac has a good shooting form.

    Personally, I like the shooting strokes of Ben Gordon, Kobe Bryant, and J.R. Smith.

    other than the flat arc and the kick, i don't think there's anything wrong with it. i think it's better looking than ray allen's. tmac keeps his elbows in while allen's elbow way out.

    that is hilarious.. i was skimming the thread and someone posted Redd 2 posts after you and somehow I associated it with your username.

    Lazy me didn't check it again. But at least it makes sense, cause I wouldn't have expected you to say Redd! ;)

    I forgot what Gilbert Arenas looks like shooting a basketball in an NBA game.

    There is a new kid in town guys. Stephen Curry has one of the best jump shots in the league. He will join the likes of:

    Kobe
    Ray Allen
    J.J. Redick
    Steve Novak
    J.R. Smith
    Kyle Korver
    Jason Kapono
