Shooting Mechanics: Knees

Knees are key to every baketball players shot.  Most people don't use their knees correctly.  The players who don't use their knees correctly are the ones that have their knees bend inward on their shot.  You can see this when certain people jump their knees bend inward instead of keeping them aligned with the feet.  This doesn't utilize all the power you can be getting out of your knees.  When they bend inward your losing power and increasing your chance of injury.  Bending your knees inward on your jump shot or just jumping puts tremendous stress on you knees.  You want to have yours knees directly above your feet when your dropping before you explode into your jump shot.  This will save you a lot of pain and make your shot more powerful.
