D’Angello Russell unlocked a new weapon in his arsenal, and he is lethal with it.
This is called the no dip shot, as the ball doesn’t go down or doesn’t dip below the shoulders.
D’Lo actually specifically worked on it with Chris Brickley as he knew that playing with Lebron means that there would be laser passes that require a quick trigger.
BTW Russell is shooting a career best 41.6% from downtown.
He is the latest player that has unlocked the no dip..
Nick Batum is one of the guys that utilizes this shot the most. I mean look at this lightning quick release. It all happens in 1 motion and in the blink of an eye the ball is out of his hands.
Coincidentally, Batum is also having a career year from beyond the arc with 44.0%
Jerami Grant is another player who’s extremely effective with it.
On the kick out to the corner, Jerami’s size combined with the fact that the ball never comes down, makes his shot almost unblockable.
Now guess what… 40.1% this is a career best for Grant as well. I don’t know if the no dip plays a role in this, but it’s interesting to see nonetheless.
When you think about the no dip, of course Klay Thompson is the first guy that comes to mind. Considering the sheer amount of threes that he’s fired away, he probably has the most shots of this caliber.
But to me this shot will always be synonymous with Anthony Morrow.
Morrow was actually the pioneer and wasn’t like a once in a while thing. In 2015 he started shooting like this almost every time off the catch.
I mean look at this shot. The ball is above his head the entire time. I have never seen a player keep the ball that high up on the shot, let alone swish it.
Shots like that earned him the nickname which I thought was pretty cool.
Even before the major shot transformation, Morrow always had a pretty quick jumper. And a deadly one. In 2008 as a rookie for Golden State, he led the league in 3 point percentage, finishing the season with 46.7%.
I made an entire video about Morrow last year, and I had to include him here as well.
BTW, speaking of three pointers here’s a stat that’s going to blow your mind. Lebron James has a better percentage from downtown this season than Steph Curry. Imagine that! And yeah I know Lebron’s volume is lower and Steph’s shots are probably more difficult, but it’s an interesting trivia. And I’ve got a bunch more crazy stats in this video right here so you gotta check it out. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.

The touch shot. If you know you know 😏
its not a cheat code shot, they're just good shooters lol
I have to say that I was taught this shot in the 80s.
SHINTARO MIDORIMA
I love your content and this video is no exception. But, at 2:08 and again at 2:13 you can see the shooter bring the ball down below his waist.
The no dip 3 was Jingles stock and trade.
idk if ppl realise how difficult shooting threes like this actually is
Curry did it already in 1v1 during Team practice in USA Team 2014
klay did this before it was cool
And to think old man James wanted to trade another Russell this season. Imagine that
It’s nothing new 😂
Joe Ingles been doing this for a decade too – except his shot can look even stranger because he catapults it.
How about Steph going the no dip way…🤔
No dip drips! 🏀💦👋😏👍✨
If I got a pass above the head I would often use this form with better success than my usual shot. Defence doesn't even contest half the time because they think you're just searching for a pass
similar to Jokic's?
Great video as always! Quick shout out to Bogdan Bogdanovic who uses this no-dip-shot as well.
Love the OG Music comeback 🔥🔥
It's good you mentioned Anthony Morrow. It's my first time to see this kind of shot from him with OKC.
that grant shot is ugly bruh it has very late release
Great video & truly appreciate you noting that Klay & Morrow was the first guys with the No Dip shot💯
more frequently video uploading pls 🙂
Nice topic, very smart analysis.

📌 I first saw the no dip on nba 2k 14 npc players😂
Aka the Midorima
Anthony Morrow is the no dip goat
less movement so its more accurate ..its also in rhythm.
I don't think Michael Porter Jr has unlocked this yet. His stroke is beautiful tho
Reminds me of the no jump shot from wii sports resort 😂
one shot motion lets u shoot anywhere. two motion shot lets u shoot over anyone..
D-Lo has the best flick of the wrist in the entire nba and you missed Kyrie as he inspired a wave of new-era no dips during his 60 point game against Orlando
Jayson Tatum could never in a million years.
SIKMA!!!!!!
Inconsistent Dlo
you still haven't addressed why your vids were region locked for almost 2 years in APAC
it's a set shot, my guy. they were using this cheat code in the 40s 😂😂
Man wartch Kuroko's Basketball get that shot
To be fair to Nicola, he's been doing that high release three shot for almost his entire career. You gotta remember too – he's in his 16th season right now, being drafted in 2008. I remember him shooting just like that here in Portland from about 2010/11 on.
This dude hates kyrie
Didn’t even mention him
So why the fuck are the Lakers struggling when two star players average 40+% on 3pt this season? I also didn't like AD saying it's ok being playin seeds when they just proved something last year.
Klay is not "a no dip shot". Sure he has quick release, but almost always catches the ball below the shoulder, so the only way is…up
Bogdan also shoots like this sometimes
according to KG lebrone is on that new juice, no wonder he has higher % than Curry.
That’s Midorima’s signature shot 🏀 like if you know what i mean 🙆🏻♂️
I love how Morrow's shot where he was declared "The fastest gun in the West" was the most dippiest of all dip shots ever dipped.
