Probably the hand surgeries
He destroyed his hands for dunk highlights
I always thought it was more that he just put on too much muscle working with a new trainer after his mvp season
The muscle disrupts the ROM in his shoulder bc of how much bulk is there and he can’t clear as consistently when shooting from the front
He was a high volume mid 80s guy then went to low 80s 70s now he’s sitting mid 60s somehow
It’s taken a lot of time to happen too, I’ve never seen anything like that in other players
He went from 84% on 11 attempts to 65% on 6 attempts in 2 years
I don't see how it can be muscle related when he also shorts a lot of shots nowadays. He more often misses short than he does miss wide, so if anything he lacks power.
It's not like he's too weak to make those shots. It's a control and consistency issue.
