What Is a Two Motion Shot?

A 2 motion is someone who jumps with the ball and shoots it once he is in the top of his jump.

What is a 1 motion shot?

One Motion does the same except, after the shot fake, the ball goes back to chest level (SET or starting point) before the shot takes place. When open, One Motion will always have the quicker release because of it's starting point. The key is to shoot when open.

Does Curry have a one motion shot?

Curry's lower than usual set point actually helps him have a quick, one-motion shot and it fits his rhythm, despite being unorthodox. For many players, a lower set point will result in a flat ball trajectory but Curry avoids this issue with his release and follow-through.
