Stephen Curry has long been hailed as the greatest shooter in basketball history, but a recent viral moment reminded fans that his brilliance extends beyond execution, it’s in the way he teaches the craft.
During a casual hangout captured on video, Curry noticed a friend struggling with his jump shot and offered an impromptu lesson that transformed the shot in mere minutes.
The clip shows Curry dissecting the mechanics of the jumper with surgical precision. He didn’t overcomplicate it. Instead, he focused on one subtle but crucial detail: the space between the shooting hand and the ball just before release.
“Let’s fix this jumper in two seconds,” Curry said. “Like the last second before you shoot… see how there’s no space in here?”
He then explained how fingertip control and ball spin affect the shot’s feel and accuracy.
After absorbing the advice, Curry’s friend took another shot, and nailed it. The form was smoother, the release cleaner, and the result undeniable. Curry’s reaction? A simple, satisfied “YESSIR,” followed by a grin that said it all.
