I was arguing with my kid. Inside 18” I always shot with fingertips and wrists. Allowed me to shoot off balance or off the wrong foot.
You do require better form from long distances. I would like to point out I hit 5 consecutive shots from half court on a bet. $20 to start, but double or nothing. My African American brothers did not pay up, but wasn’t I pecial?

I played on my sixth grade team. I was a guard cuz I was on the small side. But I was fast. And dad gum it people liked me. When I went to high school I was little. So wresting was all I could do, well guess what I was really really good at it. Bill Walton who played at Helix High, once picked me up so I could dunk. They were warming up in the gym/stadium and it was raining so I was running my run in the gym/stadium. Some one got a photo and it was in the front page of our local sports page. I wish I had kept it.
It was like the biggest sports guy and the littlest. I weighed 82 pound but was kicking ass in beating other schools and Bill weighed who knows and was unbeatable in high school basketball. like Marcus Allen in football in high school. I mean come on, that wasn't fair. ahah

Never played any sports while I was in school too much BS, didn't matter if you was good or so so if your dad belong to one of the clubs some kids had it made.
Used to play pick-up games with the guys I hung out with at the grade school near where I lived.

I played against George McGinness and Steve Downing in high school. May, Wilkerson and Buckner in the Hyper Building at IU. They wanted me to come out for the team to add shooting, but I wanted no part of Bobby Knight. Could have been a mistake.

my sixth grade team went to the county finals. We had that back then. I got real sick and couldn't play. I'm still good friends with some of my team mates.

I never joined a team in school because my full court dribbling skills were not the best, and I was short.
Nevertheless, on a half court "rough house(21)game", I was a beast. True story.
My half court dribbling skills were fine. I'd even throw it between the legs of competitors to catch it and score on the other side sometimes.
My left handed hook was nearly unstoppable. I miss those days. So much fun.

I played mostly pick up games with my friends. Full Court at 32. And I was smoking.
After coughing up a lung and an hour later I was good to go.
I used to think I could shoot 2 pointers
