Jimmy’s taken a slightly larger volume of threes to start the 2023-2024 NBA season and has made them at a high clip so far.

Bernie Lee, Jimmy’s agent, poked fun at the fact that Jimmy knew in real time that his first 3 pointer made in last night’s game brought his season average back to 50%.

He changed his form and improved it a ton in the last 10 or so regular season games in 21/22 and has just built up on it. It's been an underrated storyline, since people just attributed his playoff improvement in shooting that year to "Playoff Jimmy", but he worked on it and it's paying off massively.

He still has a flat jumper, but while his shot in his first 2 and a half Miami seemed more like a push shot, he now has a little bit more arc and much better energy transfer from his legs, which is great
