In this instructional video, Elijah Bryant delivers a concise guide for basketball players who struggle with shooting. He emphasizes five core mechanical elements: (1) keeping the shooting shoulder forward, using Klay Thompson’s shoulder positioning as a model; (2) aligning the elbow toward the basket throughout the motion; (3) positioning the ball at the proper lift point, illustrated with visual comparisons; (4) ensuring the index finger is the final point of contact on the ball, a technique observed in Steph Curry’s release; and (5) practicing these mechanics deliberately, even shooting with eyes closed to develop a feel for the motion. Bryant stresses that mastering mechanics is essential for becoming a scoring threat, regardless of immediate shot outcomes.

If you are a hooper and you can't shoot, save this video right now. I'm gonna give you some tips to help your shooting mechanics, because if you can't shoot, then you're not a threat on the court. All right, your shooting shoulder needs to be in front. Watch Klay Thompson's shooting mechanics, and his, his right shoulder is always in front facing the basket. Spotlight the elbow all the way through, so your elbow should be facing the basket, which means you're going to be kind of angled like this. So observing the ball at the lift point, so right here, it— Clay's is like this. It should be at least be like this. Not like this, not like this. It should be right here. Your index finger should be on the needle of the ball so it comes off and it's the last point of contact. Watch when Steph shoots, it's the last point of contact. When you're shooting by yourself, observe the pattern and fix that pattern. Doesn't matter if you're making or missing, you're trying to get the mechanics right. And the neurotransmitters to understand what that feels like. So a lot of the times I like to close my eyes.
