Not acting like I know the answer to this question - I’m just asking. But how bad was the outside shooting form of Karl “The Mailman” Malone when he first entered the NBA? He shot below 50% from the line as a rookie and, by his 4th season, he was regularly over 75% (and he became a reliable option on the “pick and pop” with John Stockton). 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.
