Who Has the Prettiest Jumpshot In The Game?

[carrao45]

I say either: Ray Allen, Kobe, or Gilbert Arenas

[sook]

Ray Ray hands down. Not even close

[Spursfan092120]

As much as I hate the SOB..it's Ray Allen..definitely...

[dirk4mvp]

Jason Terry and Kyle Korver

[sook]

I don't feel like posting vids...but evidence of his beautiful shot is that he shoots it the SAME WAY regardless of the situation. his form is the epitome of flawless mechanics (he actually uses some of his thumb).

If Ray is shooting a wide open 3, or a 40 foot shot with someone in his face, you will see his jump and release to be continuous and identical in every respect.

[lefty]

Kyle Korver

So effortless.........

[balli]

It might not be the single prettiest shot in the game, but I've always thought Rashard Lewis has an awesomely good looking shot.

[timvp]

Kobe? Very good shooter obviously but it's flat with limited rotation.

Either Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki or my personal favorite . . . Stephon Marbury. Back when Starbury could jump higher, he had flawless form.

[dirk4mvp]

Jason Terry and Kyle Korver


or Kevin Durant and JJ

[lefty]

Kobe? Very good shooter obviously but it's flat with limited rotation.

Either Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki or my personal favorite . . . Stephon Marbury. Back when Starbury could jump higher, he had flawless form.
Damn I forgot about Steph...

He used to make those jumpers off the screen vs Spurs when he was in PHX

[carrao45]

No love for gilbert or kobe??? i dont know of any gilbert vids but look at this, then tell me Kobe doesnt have perfect form...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vdx_BlWKDw

[gaKNOW!blee]

Mike Miller

[monosylab1k]

Ray of course, Kobe, Durant, Redd's is unusual but nice, and my favorite of a current player is Mike Miller.

[balli]

Wtf? Lewis?

He has one of the wackest looking Jumpers in the game.

I didn't say it was fundamental, just beautiful. All wrists, high ass release, consistent as hell. Damn unique, but far from ugly IMO. IDK, maybe I'm the only one, but I've liked his shot for years.

[antimvp]

michael finley

[sook]

Balijuana, i change my .. Its ronnie brewer! :lol

[ElNono]

Marion, hands down, literally...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Brent Barry

[dirk4mvp]

I like it, tho I hate how he changed his follow through ( or lack of) in the 3 pt contest.

[balli]

Balijuana, i change my .. Its ronnie brewer! :lol

:lol Poor Brewer. It's a testament to his slashing ability that he averages 52% or whatever from the floor, because I bet he's no higher than like 25-30% outside of 10 feet.

In all seriousness, Mo Almond's got a pretty good looking shot. he's going to give somebody good minutes next year.

:lmao

On a sidenote, i don't know why, but CJ Miles reminds me of a Ray Allen type of player.



And i think Steve Novak should get some credit as well. Dude shoots everything like a FT.

[hater]

ray rays is too feminine

I go with... yes Brent Barrys, Kobe's #2

[Ghazi]

Ray of course, Kobe, Durant, Redd's is unusual but nice, and my favorite of a current player is Mike Miller.

Mike Miller can't make it rain anymore

[carrao45]

steve nash shoots from the side of his head/shoulder. no thanks

[Spur-Addict]

Often the popular opinion is wrong, but I like Allen's. Of course, this is a subjective question so it doesn't really matter.

[BlackSwordsMan]

shawn marion unblockable 3 pt shoot

[balli]

steve nash shoots from the side of his head/shoulder. no thanks

So did Stockton. Manu too. My favorite shot of all time. Pull the hammer over the shoulder and let her rip. I'm down.

[peskypesky]

Kobe. I love his shot. the way he elevates and then releases right as he's starting to come down...he gets so high up that he's just on another level than the defender....and then that little lag makes it even tougher to time, so the defender jumps too soon...and then he just has such a cool release wit the flick of the wrist. deadly. like a goddamn mamba striking.

[braeden0613]

Kapono

[Lars]

Gonna go with Redd, his release makes it look like he is just dropping it into the basket. Its very unique.

[DAF86]

Kobe Bryant, hands down. And a very personal pick: Mike Bibby, I don't know why I always liked his shot.

Jump shooting is the aspect of the game that I enjoy the most.

[Roxsfan]

Aaron Brooks.

[Mugen]

Dirk.

But Fin actually has one of the nicest looking jumpers in the league and im always surprised when he misses it...i dont know cuz he misses so damn much but still a really pretty jumpshot.

As a lefty, i actually like Fish's shot a lot too.

[cobbler]

Anybody but Marion! :lmao

BTW... Best "shot" (though not a jumpshot) of all time -------> Kareem.

[YellowFever]

I don't know if I'm splitting hairs here but a fadeaway J....Kobe's look best hands down.

But a straight jump shot, it's gotta be Ray Allen.

(All time prettiest form has gotta be Byron Scott, though)

[BRHornet45]

I would have to say Dwight Howard. GREAT shooter

[jbspurs]

Rip Hamilton or Ray Allen

[Rogue]

I would have to say Dwight Howard. GREAT shooter
lol son peja has the prettiest jumpshot in the game IMHO, and that's why the hornets will pay him 29m in the next 2 years. :lol

[IronMexican]

Chuck Hayes' free throws.

[KSeal]

LeBron James, oh wait, all he can do is dunk, never mind.

[byrdman31]

ray allen or jj redick.. perfect form every time


but all time, mj fade away, no contest:worthy:

[Xylus]

Joe Johnson has the prettiest shot in the game.

[kamikazi_player]

Former player - Reggie Miller
Current player - Ray Allen or Steve Nash, they both work for me. But Redd should get a mention, his shots makes it look easy. And to think if he would stay healthy, he would be one of the most dangerous NBA players in the league right now.

[tso & lo Cavfanatic]

Brandon Roy.

[timvp]

Former player - Reggie Miller
I'm going to have to disagree on that one. When Miller shot, it looked like his arms were trying to have an abortion. The ball went in but it was pretty damn ugly.

[bdictjames]

You have to put Udonis Haslem there.

[mystargtr34]

Yea i dont think Nash has a great shot mechanics wise, its a low release point, and easy to get blocked. And he doesnt have a shot where he can release it from bad angles. Its either straight on or nothing.


I think Kobe has the prettiest jumper. Best best technique is probably Ray Allen/

[ginobili's bald spot]

As much as I hate the SOB..it's Ray Allen..definitely...

[pauls931]

I'd say ray, when he gets an open look about the only thing to guess is whether it grazes the inside of the rim or is a swish.

Nash shoots well, but is always doing akward stuff making his jumpshot ugly, but not near as ugly as Marion's....

BTW, am I the only one that notices nash missing shots he'd normally hit this season?

[stretch]

I've always felt that Steve Nash is the best shooter I've ever seen. There isn't a single jumpshot the guy can't hit (off balance, runners, fading, pull-up, short, long, etc...), he releases it really fast, and the stats back it all up.

But I really like Vladmir Radmanovic's shot. His shot is soooooooooo high-arching, its a thing of beauty when it splashes through the net.

[stretch]

Althought I don't think there is a better spot-up shooter ever than Jason Kapono. The guy is out of this world.

[stretch]

Vujabitch has a really good jumpshot too.

[ElNono]

I don't know if it's the prettiest, but Mason's release is one of the nicest and quickest I've seen in a while.

[KSeal]

Vujabitch has a really good jumpshot too.

Except the ball hasn't actually gone through the circle once this entire year.

[Tracy McGrady]

I, by far!

[Spursmania]

I don't care too much for the guy, but I'm going to have to say Ray Allen.

[stretch]

I, by far!

Actually T-Mac does have a really nice shot. So does Joe Johnson and Danny Granger. They all have a very natural, smooth, free flowing shot.

[Obstructed_View]

Del Curry, Larry Bird, Calvin Murphy.

[Girasuck]

If Morris Almond lands on a team next year that will actually play him and use his talents, a lot of you will rate his shot at the top. His shot reminds me the most of Ray Allen.

[LakeShow]

Ben Gordon

[MacGyver]

Allan Houston

[Soul_Patch]

I can't believe no one has said Matt Bonner, his shot is beautiful!


:downspin:

[in2deep]

Marc Price, Sam Perkins

[Tracy McGrady]

Shawn Marion bitches!

[KSeal]

I can't believe no one has said Matt Bonner, his shot is beautiful!


:downspin:

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:rollin

[rascal]

Geroge Gervin. His shots barely touched net.

[Thunder Dan]

easy. The Big Z

[Obstructed_View]

Now that I think about it, Roger Mason has a gorgeous jumper.

[pauls931]

I can't believe no one has said Matt Bonner, his shot is beautiful!


:downspin:

I bet you're into catapults.

[manufan10]

I'd go for Michael Redd and his silky smooth jump shot.

[BengalDuck]

Ray Allen and Steve Nash.


And Martell Webster.

[Morg1411]

Ben Gordon has a great-looking shot. Nash, as noted, always makes makes terrifically difficult throws look easy. I like Roger Mason's "gunslinger" shot. J.R. Smith has an amusing shot: the worse the shot looks, the better chance its good.

[KSeal]

easy. The Big Z

You're such a joke.

[mffl89]

Gerald Green seems to have a smooth shot too.

[IronMexican]

Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Pau and Bynum have the greatest shots I've ever seen. No bias.

[Dutch13]

ray allen or jj redick.. Perfect form every time


but all time, mj fade away, no contest:worthy:


+1

[layupdrill]

[Killakobe81]
