The Question

The purpose of the blog is to qualitatively and quantitatively investigate the optimal technique of the basketball jump shot through the use of several biomechanical principals. A jumps shot is a commonly performed shooting action used in the sport of Basketball. While the shot may seem easy to correctly execute there are many factors that influence the outcome of the shot, whether this be successfully scoring a goal or completely missing the ring all together. Therefore, in order to successfully execute the shot multiple biomechanics must be considered. 

Subsequently, the major question that will be answered through this blog is:

" What are the optimal techniques of the Basketball Jump Shot leading to a successful shot?"

Through answering this question it will allow one to successfully perform a jump shot in a game like situation.

This is a Video demonstrating the efficiency of the jump shot when performed correctly. Through the aid of this blog, maybe one day your jump shot may be as consistent and accurate as Kobe Bryant.
