Even Bill Cartwright‘s often-mocked shot evolved over the years.

I used to think Cartwright suffered some kind of hand or wrist injury, to make him shoot like that. But looks like it was always kinda wonky, back to his spry Knicks days.

in the era that Bill Cartwright grew up in, shot mechanics were not as heavily drilled into players as they are today. Think about Iceman, Jamaal Wilkes, and Jack Sikma…

It worked for their respective times and allowed later players to build off of them.

Shooting truly is about spacing, release, and reps…
