According to Lillard, the hardest part about preserving good shooting form from deep range isn’t about the arms or legs. “If you keep your core tight and your body strong, then the ball flies out stronger,” he said. “If your body is weak, you come up not as strong and the ball will waver when you’re that far out.” The deeper the shot, the harder it gets to keep the ball straight. “The ball can go left or right,” Lillard said. “You can air-ball. It’s far out, so there’s more room for error.”
