Why is this move never mentioned amongst other player's signature shots? Timmy's bank shots, Kobe's fadeaway, Dirks off balance jumpers, etc. Its become his defining shot that he almost ALWAYS gets off with no trouble and its devastating, especially at crucial points of games. I didn't even realize how insanely awesome this shot is until I stopped to think if I was not a Spurs fan, watching my team try to defend Manu and knowing he's about to take that shot in a big moment would make me want to vomit.
Who in the league has a better step back three pointer??
It's brilliant.
Man, I've tried to pull that shot off in pickup games before, but it takes a LOT of practice. Don't let Manu's effortless walkthru in the above video fool you. Your balance must be impeccable, and of course the quicker the defender, the quicker the release on the shot must be. How he gets this shot off time after time with such deadly accuracy is simply unreal
It's a great shot. Jerrells actually does something like that as well.
If that's a joke, it's really funny.
It's not a joke. He....does....something....like....that. Pretty simple. Not saying he's as good as Manu in any way.
Have you seen him play?
You've clearly never watched the kid play. He's got a GREAT step-back jumper.
I live in Austin. I've been to more Toros games than Spurs games this year. I guess it's a little similar . . . sort of . . .
Well there you go
I will say I saw it much more in the beginning of the season than recently.
Don't be an ass.
how many players in the nba would watch this and say they never saw it.
That's what happens on every thread, and we didn't even need TJastal for this one.
<3 the beat in the Manu sig. moves videos
I've tried the move in pickup ball and on the rare occasion it works, theres no chance of the defender getting back. But it is SOOO difficult to regain your balance after taking a long step backwards when just a second ago, you were moving forward.
The fact that Manu gets this shot off, sometimes before the defender has even gotten a hand up, and in crunch time against GREAT defenders is amazing.
Jerrells is actually a Spur now. If you stopped flicking your bean for a minute you would know that.
That step-back jumper Manu has is a thing of beauty. The thing that must irritate defenders is that they know its coming, but can't seem to do anything about it.
Well, if you think about it... is impossible to defend, all you can hope for is put pressure in manu and prey he misses really.
This... it looks way easier then it is.... took me so long to be able to properly do it mid game, it's crazy how manu does it with such little effort, keeps perfect accuracy and balance, and still has enough power to send it off from the NBA 3 point line
Also, check the sig

ASS.
Yeah, I have to really be feeling it to do it mid game, and usually it's after I've already tapped into the rest of my limited repertoire lol. The fact that Manu's defenders have to know it's coming and STILL can't stop it is unbelievable, when you stop and think about it. Seriously, I can't remember ever seeing him get blocked on that shot.
Does this count as a step back three?
If pointing out that you're an idiot means I'm an ass, then....
If you actually did that, you would have a point, but since you failed to read and overreacted then that just makes you an ass.
hard to do with a behind the back move, especially hard if youre a lefty, but if you drive left, and youre a righty, this move is easy and devestating. my go to move in pick up games.
Wow I really can't wait to see the "son of Jerrel" now
