“When I was 10 years old, my dad used to get on my ass, like, ‘You’ve gotta shoot off [of] your fingertips! You shooting a knuckleball!’” Lillard said on JJ Redick’s “The Old Man and The Three” podcast. “He’s the only other person I’ve ever seen shoot like that. It was so awkward, but he’d do it worse than me; literally just flicking the ball.” As a half measure, Lillard altered his form a bit to what it is now: the jump shot vying for a third straight 3-point contest title. “I would just roll it off [my fingers],” said Lillard, the seven-time All-NBA selection who won All-Star Game MVP honors last season. “And once you get a certain amount of reps, [you] don’t even really feel it anymore.”
