HOW TO SHOOT LIKE JAMES HARDEN

What's going on guys, this is Tom Cotman, Conor's professional street basketball player and multiple Guinness World Record holder. Today we're gonna head over to the NBA, the world of the NBA rather than the streetball side, okay? Because James Harden right now is killing it and I wanna do a tutorial on his, it's kind of like his step back, his in and out step back. Sometimes people say it's a travel, but I wanna break it down for you guys to pull off a great three point shot. So how to do James Harden's step back three point shot. Let's get straight into this tutorial. Okay, so we're gonna pull off this shot, okay? It's not so much the shot, because obviously it's a three point shot. It's actually to create spaces, is the actual key to pulling us off and getting consistency there. I'm gonna use my left hand, okay? But what you're looking for is an in and out motion to create space, okay? So as you're dribbling on a defender, okay? If you're gonna dribble out, you can come back very quickly, okay? So you're here and you step back. It's the step back that creates the space, okay? So if you're here on a defender, okay? And you go here and you jump back, then you've got a jump shot, okay? So obviously he does it on the threes or he does it a lot around, but it's creating space, okay? So as you go out, okay? As you go out, you're looking to come straight back, okay? So as you go out, it's back one, two, and jump shot, okay? So before we shoot, before we get into that, it's a simple breakdown of creating space, okay? So in, bam, step back, okay? Here, okay, step back, you've got the jump shot. It's more about creating space, step back, than it is the three-point shot. So we'll do it from the three, okay? So we're looking for that in and out motion, okay? Okay, here. So you can jump back to the three-point line and create that space that you need to pull off a jump shot, okay? So you're here, you're in, you're out, you step back, you've got the three, okay? The three-point shot is just a normal three, okay? But when you come out, you can literally jump back. So remember, guys, make sure you step inside the three-point line first, okay? Because when you create that motion, okay, to go back, you gotta jump back to the three-point line, okay? So you create space, it's here, you've got the three, okay? So it's, don't be doing it from the three-point line and then stepping and jumping back, because you'd be shooting from out here. Push out, come back, you step, you've got the three-point shot, okay? It's in slow motion, but it gives you an idea, okay? In, out, look at my space you've created. Obviously, like I keep saying, you can't do it on a three-point line because you'll be back way out here, inside the three-point line, okay? From this angle now, okay, trying to help you guys out. Now, in streetball terms, the in-and-out move I always use to create space, okay? Okay, you've got in, out, because you'll let, you can come back, create space, yeah? You know, it's an in-out motion. So step inside the three-point line, okay? Go that way, bam, one. You back onto that three-point line, inside the three-point line, okay? In, bam. When you've got a defender on you, you'd be surprised how much, okay? So in, okay, so you're here, okay? In, out, okay, step back, okay? In, out, boom. So it's the in-out motion. However you try and do that, if you watch, boom. That's how the space is created. That's how, then obviously you've got the three to do. It's a move that you have to master in itself. You know, it's not like a spot-up three, you know, or anything like that. So there you go, guys, how to create space, how to get that James Harden step back. Is it a travel, you know, to create them a space? It's obviously what people are talking about, is it, is it not? But however, it's getting him a lot of points. It's something he uses consistently, and that's because it always creates him space to pull off enough jump shot. Plus obviously he's not short, so he can get those shots off.
