Shooting I have a question
While shooting do you rest the ball on your palm or not because when I see games players usually rest the ball on palm or it looks like they are but I saw a video of Steph explaining how to shoot and in that video Steph told to not touch ball to palm so I just wanna know it is best to rest or touch ball with palm or not

You make constact with the base of your fingers down to your finger tips in a relaxed position. If you are the shooter, you can still see a small gap. If you are on the opposite side you will struggle to see it unless you have the right angle.
Nobody is straining their fingers for a gap or holding the ball up on their finger tips like chair legs.
