the ever-changing feelings about Enes Kanter

The video provided exactly supports Stoked and Sexual Favors views as on 0:45 it states "Obviously there is a ton of other muscles that work even the muscles that keep your entire arm above your head".

Of course there are other muscles in play. He went over the major muscles at work.

It's a freaking bruise on his bicep. I don't know if you've ever shot a basketball, but your bicep being sore doesn't do much to make your shooting worse.

Dude, you are an absolute idiot. I am a physical therapist. Your bicep is responsible for lifting the ball into the shooting position, and then again it is in contraction while preparing and aiming your shot, and is responsible for stabilizing the head of the humerus, which stabilizes your shoulders, which as everyone knows squared and stable shoulders increase accuracy. If you have a bruised bicep that hurts, you won't be able to hold your contraction the same, it will fight against you, possibly making you flinch, or over contract.

Your video even said there are other muscles than what they are talking about. They are just talking about the ones that cause the ball to spin, give arc, and precise trajectory AFTER the ball is stabilized in shooting position. No foundation, no success.

Pick up ANY anatomy or kinesiology book and it will tell you what the bicep does.


Also, the bicep is in complete extension upon proper follow through.

Do you really think that Kanter magically lost his shot?

It's either the bruise, or fatigue from the wear of the season and minutes he is unused to.

I had not paid close enougha ttention to realise that his shot suffered so much after that bruise. Looked nasty though.

yeah, since LAC (night of bruise) till last night, his mid range jumper had been way off. He had been getting most of his points close to the rim on dunks and put backs. Last night looked a little better though.

If you are what you say you are, then I'll say you're right.

Props to you.
 
FWIW, I asked my sister about this, as she has both played basketball competitively and is also a PT.

She agreed that it was possible the bruise could affect the shot, but more only if the bruise was a result of a muscle tear. She seemed to think that the adrenaline would override most of the pain if it was just a bruise. Her main message was that it's pretty hard to say unless if somebody has actually examined it, and anybody making a diagnosis off of just pictures and some video wouldn't be able to make a good diagnosis.

So again, I guess it is possible the bruise could alter his shot. I was wrong.
