“When you watch me shoot my fadeaway jumper, you’ll notice my leg is always extended,” Bryant said. “I had problems making that shot in the past. It’s tough. So one day I’m watching the Discovery Channel and see a cheetah hunting. When the cheetah runs, its tail always gives it balance, even if it’s cutting a sharp angle. And that’s when I was like: My leg could be the tail, right?”
Bryant has always been somewhat of a conundrum when it comes to his methodology but it’s rather unwise to argue with greatness.
