This is probably the best convo we’ve had on the details of shooting a basketball. Cam is so good in this whole ep. Full thing drops tomorrow morning. We’ll have Dame trade stuff on Monday too. Cheers.
Seems like a lot of new Cam fan thanks to this. Including me
I was shooter in college (late 80's, so the dark ages) and our coaches never engaged in such discussions. Everything was self taught. Really good discussion. Moving to the right with speed – off the dribble or catch and shoot – is much more difficult than the opposite. Getting the shoulders properly squared to the target is challenging. I often felt off balance. I also much preferred the gather off the left hand dribble. I felt it was much easier to get the ball into the "pocket".
Man, watch out for Keegan Murray
Shout to Cam one of my favorite young players, btw he is right on JJ’s shot it’s one fluid motion that’s why he was a tough cover and the time to release was quick too we know your game bruh 👀😂
when i go right i always channel kobe, he had the best balance when going right! even if he was fading away
Cam Johnson is the son that JJ wanted. Im joking, I know JJ love his kids, its just that u speak the same language xd good discussion
Which trae is cam talking about?
I've always thought cam jumpshot was so pretty. I'm not surprised that he is very good at picking apart shooting form
cant wait to hear "cammmm johnson" at barclays again
Why ppl don’t mention Reggie?Hes a shooter too.
Kobe and Jordan did the same thing, along with MANY other players. I used to shoot that way but I’m 44 and have a negative vertical nowadays lol
Can't wait for the full episode, doesn't matter to me how much star power you have as long as you can explain the game of basketball in a compelling way.
Perfect everything. Kobe and Jordan knew that – no weaknesses.
JJ’a podcasts are actually basketball 101
Always been a fan of Cam since his NC days, everyone was shocked when he went in the lottery lol…6'10" and shot 50%+ from 3 at home wasn't very suprising to me. Now it makes complete sense, definitely must've impressed a lot of people in his draft interviews!
JJ eyes lit up when Cam started talking. Nerds finding each other 😂
Cam is very articulate. Well spoken and his tone is smooth.
Gotta get Jamal Crawford on the podcast
JJ you gotta release videos so we can get a visual of what you’re saying this is an amazing convo.
Never thought about changing my footwork throughout spot shooting such a great observation.
Smart player i wont ever forget him postering Embiid 😭
Wow!!! This guy is going to be such a good shooter and player! He is so intelligent and well spoken! Cam will be pretty good too!
Gotta get both the twins on the podcast!!
We miss you in phoenix cam hope this season goes good for you and mikal
Wait, JJ is 6'4? lol
Cam is very well-spoken and intelligent! Looking forward to watching him this season
Who was "trae" thats bigger than everybody
I wanna hear JJ. REDICK talk about, what made him change his play style as he left duke to the NBA. I Just feel like he dialed it back once he got to the NBA
love the passion I could feel in this conversation, can’t wait for this episode to drop
