Dirk Nowitzki is one of the best shooters to ever touch a basketball. His understanding of shooting mechanics is about as high-level as it gets, so thank you to for sharing this segment featuring Dirk’s detailed advice for OG Anunoby this past offseason with the basketball community
“The pointer and the middle finger were the last two to touch the ball. That way you almost build like train tracks and the ball should always go straight. You should never miss left or right. If you shoot over one finger the ball can go left or right… Good shooters should only miss short or long not left and right…”
By the looks of things during the playoffs — and especially tonight — OG appears to have taken the advice to heart. He’s made a scorching 56.7% 3PT% (17/30) in 4.5 playoff games during the best stretch of his career so far
