Steph Curry Shooting Secret: Ridiculously Simple

Your accuracy is all over the place. You're missing left. You're missing right. You're overthinking it. You don't know how to adjust your form. You don't know what to do to become a better shooter and become more accurate. In this video, I'm going to give you the stupidest, most simplest method to become a more accurate shooter. Do you know why Steph Curry is the greatest shooter of all time? Yes, he practices a lot. Yes, he's got good mechanics. But he started when he was like three years old. His dad was a pro. He started shooting the ball before he could even touch or hold a bigger ball. He was probably shooting one of those little Nerf balls. And in order to shoot the ball up, you think he had perfect mechanics? No. The problem for many of you is that you started shooting the basketball at a later stage of your life and you developed bad habits because you overthought how to push, how to shoot the ball. You've watched tons of videos. Maybe you've watched my videos and you are overthinking all the mechanics. Where does my hand need to be? Where does my elbow need to be? How does my palm need to be? You're overthinking it. So I'm going to simplify it and I'm going to show you how to make it easier as if you were in third or fourth grade just learning how to shoot. I've talked about in other videos about the mechanics, how we don't want to have our thumb in the shot. But the truth is, if you watch many of the best shooters of all time, their thumb, their offhand thumb is involved in the shot. To be honest, when I evaluate my own shot, my thumb is often in my shot. So what should you do? You should do what is most accurate for yourself. If you are not making shots, you need to change it up. If you are a good shooter, then continue to do what you're doing, make small tweaks and become a better shooter. But here's how you can become even more accurate. It's very simple. I want you to just start off with simply passing the ball against the wall, hitting the same spot every time. I'm going to try to hit this square right here every single time on a chess pass. Once I hit it perfectly five, six, seven times, I'm going to just continually increase the height of where I'm aiming at. I'm going to hit right about right there, right where that little piece of tape is at. I'm going to aim for that every single time and try to hit that using the same mechanics that I use to hit the wall. You can see I hit it almost every single time. Now I'm going to increase the height of where I'm aiming at. I'm going to continue to do this until it's at 10, 12, even up to 15 feet in height. I'm trying to hit that spot using the same mechanics that I've used at the other spots. You can see that I'm able to hit that same spot accurately almost every single time. So some of you, when you get to the basketball hoop, you start overthinking things. Instead, use this drill to just figure out how to become accurate and shoot a straight line every single time. It starts simply passing and hitting the wall. Then you're going to increase it and you're going to continually shoot it higher and higher and higher until you're at 10 foot, which is the same height as a basketball rim. Then you're just going to go to a rim and do the same thing that you've been doing. Stop overthinking all the mechanics. Instead, think about how to just shoot a straight line at the rim. The rest of your game from as far as the backspin and everything else will flow with it as you think about just being accurate and going right at it every single time. So if you have trouble with your accuracy, if you don't know why you're always missing left or right, then slow down your process, break it down, start aiming at something lower like a little kid would do when he's beginning to play until you can consistently hit that target and then increase the height that you're aiming for. Then add the basketball hoop. If your form isn't quote perfect, but the ball is going in, you feel very confident and when you miss, it's either long or short, then you are shooting a good ball.
