The Deadliest Sin In Basketball Shooting Is Exposed by Stephen Curry : “The Chicken Wing”

Stephen Curry, the best shooter of all time, is the person with the most shooting expertise. The Golden State Warriors recently provided some crucial shooting advice. Curry appeared on the well-known YouTube program “Hot Ones.” Curry talked about how important elbow angle is for making jumpers consistently in the NBA throughout the show. The “deadliest sin” in basketball shooting was also disclosed by Steph.

“Getting really technical here, the angle of your elbow,” Curry said. “Because It’s really hard if you have the chicken wing or you rarely see this one, where people come through here and bring it back out. The chicken wing is deadly because it’s hard to create the same arc with it and the same power. You can get everything from here [lower body], but as soon as you get here [shooting form], you lose it.

“As long as your elbow is kind of as close to 90 degrees as possible, I’m much more confident in somebody being able to repeat that. That’s the one I hate to see, the deadliest sin in basketball shooting, the chicken wing.”

 

Curry mentioned the chicken wing form without naming anyone. However, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was a player with a comparable style.

The Charlotte Hornets selected Michael Kidd-Gilchrist with the second overall selection in the 2012 NBA Draught. In his eight-year NBA career, Kidd-Gilchrist averaged 8.4 PPG, 5.4 RPG, and 1.2 APG. Curry may have addressed this issue by outlining his terrible shooting form, explaining why he was never able to develop consistency as a shooter throughout his career.

Stephen Curry Responses Who Is The All-Time Best Shooter Other Than Him

The best shooter of all time is generally considered to be Stephen Curry. Among other achievements, he owns the NBA record for most three-pointers made with 3,390 of them. But after Curry, who is the second-best shooter? Well, Ray Allen, according to the superstar for the Warriors. “I’d say Ray Allen. I think his form, his dedication to his craft, hit big shots in his career,” 

That Curry ranked him as the second-best shooter of all time is not surprising. In his professional career, Allen made a number of significant shots, including the basket that tied the game in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals.
