Melo's quick release is def underrated. The blazers were able to steal a couple games in the bubble because Melo was able to hit some tough 3s in the clutch before a defender could close out. I think he's underrated as a pull up shooter because he's so fast at getting it off.

Melo is the last pure hooper of a generation. He actually worked on scoring combos and counters and how to get his jab step/hard dribble release to perfection from either the post, mid range or three. And to me Melo has always had the perfect basketball body. Perfect height, not to muscular or skinny but big enough to bump wit the big guys and lean enough to blow by you if need be But Now a days, kids are just hesi-chucking 3s Or tween/ step back -chucking 3s And nobody really works out no more cause you don’t need muscle to chuck 3s

My favorite 5 is Iverson-T-Mac-Melo-Cousins-Yao. It's amazing to watch these 5 play.
Melo is one of the dudes that could truly play in any era. Tall, Strong, post game, deep ball, mid range, ball handling, and super aggressive. 100% elite hooper. Nightmare matchup for even the best defenders.
They work so well with each other learning different concepts from the game and playing the game as they grow up this is how you work your craft and get to the league and get better season.
Everybody from his draft class learned that post and fade! And he has always been a great platform for post play! Hope the Portland staff is watching! Listen to the fans!
I really enjoyed this video. Melo’s approach has a simple, clear goal and he breaks in down in a way that is easy to understand.
That release is epic! Grest for my son to be learning! Love ya'll keep giving us tips!
His shot is perfection pure- the motion, the release..
I’m glad i found this video i needed this right now. Amazing content 💯⏳⭐️🙏🏽
Always my guy!! #STAYME7O
This is a really great series. Interviewing while on the practice court makes a big difference with these guys as you get to see Melo break his game down. Gotta be honest, wish the presenter was a bit more enthusiastic and lively in general, but this is quality.
The little details. This was fantastic.
Melo=Mellow. Another word for smooth.
My all time favorite Sf !!!Klay Thompson needs Melo handles... just imagine 💯💯💯
That shooting form is just wonderful
I wished someone trained me on those quick releases when I was in high school. You gotta learn from a living legend like Carmelo Anthony.
This is a perfect example of taking what the defense gives you and not being predictable
His shot is just so adaptable and pure. That release is lightning
Man the realization of watching greatness its humbling tbh. #LivingLegend
Since i was a kid melo is my inspiration. That pull up jumpers is deadly
Smoothest jumper of all time 🔥 best shooting form of all time because how he doesn’t fully extend his arms but still gets the shot off with a defender close up on him.
Melo changed my entire view of playing the game when I was a kid watching him at Syracuse. Instantly became my favorite player and I adapted a lot of my game to be like him. I practiced the jab and rip thru pull up endlessly!

Such great knowledge thank you!
Respect this man's game...PERIOD
I never liked Melo as a player personally (I always thought he took too many shots and didn't buy into being a part of a team), BUT I heavily respect him and his game. There is no doubt that Melo is an offensive juggernaut. A sniper from 3, a master in the post, and has some of the most fluid game I've seen in a basketball player. Any team would be lucky to have Melo as a coach or trainer.
He makes scoring an art form
One of my favorite offensive players of all time. His style is so smooth and almost effortless on the offensive end. I think what hindered him was his lack of efficiency as his career progressed. He was a high volume shooter in his prime who could get any shot he wanted, but it never fully translated to a championship level. But still a legend in my book. In his first ten years in the league, he was almost impossible to defend.
There’s just a innate fluidity the way he just gets into his shot, his pullup game was always so lethal
this dude had the perfect form
One of the best and smooth jumper❤
my favorite hooper ever , LOVE that pull up J
Wow this is priceless stuff..great channel!
