No More WESTBRICK?! Russell Westbrook's New Shot Is 🔥🔥🔥

Having yet another horrific shooting season especially from downtown, Russell Westbrook had fans calling him Westbrick to his face.
But now this video is going viral of him being lights out in practice, and actually having different, far better shooting mechanics.
Unfortunately, I have to pump the breaks on this, and inform you that this is not the real Russell Westbrook.
No, he doesn’t have a twin so let me explain. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it.
First things first, let’s break this form. I like the quicker release while going up and doing that with a much smaller jump.
This is far better than some of his usual shots where he jumps so high and releases late, as if he’s jamming the shot button for too long on 2k.
And even tho this is still a 2 motion shot, with the clear break of the movement happening right here, it’s much less pronounced and the overall rhythm is way better.
Proper footwork has never been a strength for Russell. He is one of the best at accelerating and has amazing top speed, but when it comes to stopping Westbrook is painfully bad at it. That’s how you see these spectacular offensive fouls where he barrels straight into the defender and floors him.
My point with this is that you see the glitchy footwork and the inability to stop on some of these shots as well. Instead of a simple 1-2, look at all the quick little choppy steps that he does to finally stop at the line.
This is without defense, without pressure, nothing.
But regardless, a lot of these are going in, and there’s a good mixture of catch and shoot and off the dribble, even with a screener.
So what’s the issue, why is this not the real Russell Westbrook?
Well, last offseason there was a similar highlight of the brodie with a nice looking form, swishing shot after shot. I made a video about it at the time and showed you that this is the same shot that he has in warm ups. When he’s relaxed, with time to focus and with no defense.
But he didn’t shoot like this during the actual games, so as we all know, he ended the season with an abysmal 29% from behind the arc.
And this is the case for a lot of NBA players. Watch how Steven Adams looks like a natural 3 point shooter here. The form is great, the shots go in, and if you didn’t know him, you would think that he’s a legit stretch 5.
In reality Adams is a career 1/14 from downtown, he doesn’t make them and doesn’t take them in games.
And even ya boi is a sniper in practice, tho admittedly the form is absolutely atrocious.
I made 43 out of 100 shots for this video that went live on my second channel. And this is a nice opportunity to let you know that I will try it out again soon, and will resurrect that second channel so stay tuned.
That’s it for Westbrook but while on this topic, let’s end it with a streak and see how much I can make right here. That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
