Did his form change all that radically, or was it a case of repetition building muscle memory?

Also, I seem to remember hearing something about Larry Bird having to recraft his shot after he broke a finger.

Just saying, learning a new shooting technique isn’t unheard of. It’s not horribly common, but it has happened before.

Definitely true. However altering an outside shot versus practicing a free throw shot are very different things.

More movement in an outside shot. Often a different release point.
And for oomph factor it all changes some, from how deep or close one is shooting. Many players, Scooch is a perfect example, is more of a SET shot from 3. But that often changes on drives and 15 footers obviously.
