Duncan Robinson's 3-point shooting took him from the G-League to the record books | Signature Shots
Duncan Robinson began his collegiate career in Division III and made a stop in the G League before breaking out during the Miami Heat's run to the NBA Finals last season. On the way, he became one of the great catch-and-shoot marksmen the league has ever seen. ESPN analyst Kirk Goldsberry explores Robinson's development and his perfect fit in the modern NBA.

Still shaking my head in disbelief that a kid with his fluid 3-point shot, standing 6' 7" could somehow not even get drafted in today's league - AND - not only do the Heat find him, but they also find "undrafted" Kendrick Nunn - in the same freaking draft class! That is a savvy organization and one that knows how to not only find, but how to develop young talent.
Kendrick had off court demestic violence
@@jamesjohnson1167 The only violating he’s doing, is on the court.
The fact that they got them both off waiver wire actually insane given they were 7th in 2018 with teams like the bulls,suns and cavs ahead of them who were also thinking of picking up Robinson
Because the NBA recruits from ball is life videos on KZhead .
He has a legit podcast to I’ve become a big fan
Sheen has a nice shot
The power of ultra lord
@@gerdanbombales Martians pointing the death beam at Earth you better hit it. I want DUNCAN
Yo 😂😭
😆
Thought that was macklemore for a sec
Man, I am so happy to see this man get proper recognition of his talent.
why he wont make hof
nice role player tho lol!!!!
@@Asun5th why you so salty?
@@Asun5th what does the hof have to do with anything
@@DennisYKTV_- he not hof was the point what happened???
To see him sit at the top in 5 most accurate catch-and-shoot 3PFG% with Klay and Steph is amazing 🤩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 keep it up man! 💪🏽
top 1
Can someone tell me the what rank he is in 3 point shooting . Cause where is Kyrie , Mike Conley , Stephen , Joe Harris , Luka , ???
@@isaaspirit9895 catch in shoot he is above everyone you just listed if you watch the video no one said he was the best 3 point shoot but he is the best 3 point catch and shooter
@@isaaspirit9895 oh my bad I read that wrong I’m tired sorry
@@erickrome664 no bro he don't take as many shots as the others so his percent is up
Duncan is really one of the players you can just watch shoot for hours and not get bored, one of the smoothest and purest jumpshot ever
He should ask klay thompson and work with him a lil bit
Meh. He has decent form. Not great
@@travman3299 who cares if it’s effective
@@BriaUpNext I didnt say ir wasnt effective did I? I just said it wasnt that great looking
@@travman3299 What good is a great form if the ball aint sinking. I'd take a travesty of a form if it makes me shoot the ball as well as this guy.
From D3 to the G-League is a story in it self.
His release is almost as good as mine! And I have 5 kids 💪🏼
Lollll
Too slow to pull out contrary to his release.
😂💀
Give this man a 10day contract
😂😂
Wow I didn’t realize how good of a shooter he was until this video.Robinson is definitely worth the 90 million dollar contract that’s was offered to him.
haha
I remember 2 years ago watching him in summer league and thought to myself he got to make the team. Because that year Heat did not have any draft picks so Dunc was the only rookie that made the team. Even though he did not play that much that season he and Wade came off the bench for the Heat and had a great chemistry right away. His stardom was highly anticipated. So Happy.
I am shocked that ESPN made a video for a Miami heat player 😆
Eastern conference champs don’t ever forget that 🐐🤫we to 🥶
@@mjdagreat6105 he tripping bro because they make videos of jimmy butler ALL THE TIME they praise him which is crazy on the wolves no praised jimmy only when he carried the 76ers and heat
@@JustAskBaby252 that’s a fact an that’s crazy cause I think 💭 that was the last time the wolves was in the playoffs when buckets was there
Hahaha same thought. I don't see much appreciation for my team even after big games. But then again they don't need others validations.🤷♀️They just how 'em!!🔥🔥🔥

He’s literally the second Kyle Korver. (They’re both 6’7 btw)
Yeahhh
He will be traded soon 😆
They are both 6'7.
*they're
@@smiddux5598 The audacity to correct me. Just an accident.
The Kyle Korver of this era
Kyle walked so Duncan could run
@@RennWickam facts
nah it’s joe harris, he’s more consistent
@@rickyz553 no
@@rickyz553 no.
I love this series. Keep em coming
One of the best shooters the game has seen. Teams have figured him out now and it did catch him by surprise. But watch him adapt and overcome, to become even better.
needs to be able to create space with the ball in his hands
Yeah he was always going crazy until teams figured him out, but good to see him starting to adapt recently and getting better at defense and becoming more than just a shooter.
Teams have not figured him out
@@trentmartin1422 Team started attacking him on defense that's why he doesn't play as much it's his Achilles heel
It's insane that this guy started off at the d3 level, man really grew into a great player
One good season does not make you a great player.
@@thomaschapman6088 it does and how can you say he’s not a great player when he is
@@thomaschapman6088 you’re right… just making it on a D3 team makes you a great player. Everything past that is levels only a small % of ppl can say they’ve made it to. Bozo.
look at him now clown@@thomaschapman6088
Signature shot is so well crafted, congratulations.
I love these... keep em coming please!
Maximum respect for still grinding!
love that ESPN made this video, its important to highlight and praise players like duncan robinson
It's his time!!!! Blessings. And what an inspiration for a man with a different path!
Man I love hard work! Great example of staying humble!
hopefully you didn't run out of adjective when describing his shot.
I'd be super curious to see stats for (average possession time : average points generated per possession) -- Duncan could hold the ball for all of 10 seconds in a game and have 12 points!
Loved watching him play at UofM. Glad he is proving everyone wrong!
One of the prettiest releases in NBA history.
Been telling my son (who plays ball) about how perfect Duncan Robinsons shooting form is. Cool that others appreciate it also. I love that guide hand release; I call it the "silo opening".
The guy actually looks so short on the court 😔 hard to believe hes 6'7"
Cuz 6’7 pretty average in basketball
@@cashondeliver not on the wing..
Him and Herro are like a new generation Kyle Korver + Mike Miller
NBA IS SUCH IN GOOD HANDS! SOOO MANY PROSPECT FOR THE FUTUREE LETS GO!!
Absolutely beautific and perfect form. Vedy Nice.
Duncan Robinson is one of the amazing results of the three point era. Amazing video and analysis. But this actually heightens how much of a threat Golden State is. If Duncan Robinson feels dangerous when discussed in this video, just imagine how much more terrifying Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are. Plus, those two are on the same team. Can't wait to see Duncan match up against the duo next season.
Heat fan here, appreciate the love for Duncan
Yah.. but sooner or later, he will be traded... 😆
@@jameseduardnicolas1385 dont bring that negatively over here 😔💔💔💔
@@AKFieldsTV come'on dude, we're talkin' facts here, haven't you heard the news about the Heat that they will acquire a player to improve their line up? & Robinson is one of the choices to be traded.. but its only rumors for now.. who knows? He might be traded somehow.. 😆
4:10 Man has really improved his public speaking and camera presence since then lol, guy is great to listen to on his podcast
Perseverance is key 💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥
The underdog of the underdog🔥🔥🔥
True 3 point specialist🤟
My main man. Miami runs on Duncan baby! Shout out to our heat scouts!
I really respect this guy
Duncan 'Sheen Robinson! 👍🏾🏀
Secret is in the sweat 💪🏼💪🏼
From first seeing him in last year's finals I knew he would be a marked man from then on. He's too good of a shooter for teams to now be caught unaware of him. 1st year in the league (in Robinson's case his 1st major season), guys can shock teams since there is no gameplay or game footage of that player to prepare for. Even more so when an undrafted guy gets on a team because now you don't even have the draft analysis to go off of. Duncan did that last year. The real work begins for Robinson because now he's a known 3 point assassin.
sheeeeet. never knew DR was that fire at the arc. never payed attention.
This guy is a pure shooter. That form is perfect.
Look at Jimmy Neutron Man So Inspirational

oh stfu
Flight fans always messing things up 🤦🏽♂️ he already has a great nickname leave it at that
@@knoda2603 what’s his actual nickname
One of the best stories in the league over the last few years. What a valuable player he's become!
Didn't think after Wayne Ellington left we would have another great 3 point shooter for a long time. Duncan Robinson filled that void and then some.
He's reminding me more and more of Reggie Miller. BTW before Wayne Ellington the great Ray Allen.
Any Michigan player I will always continue rooting for go blue and go Duncan Robinson
Incredible.
The dip and the turn. Don’t forget those fundamentals.
my favorite idol,, duncan robinson
Coach Erik is one good spotter of talent
Imagine if the Warriors got him first 👀 Check out our channel for more sports content! Subscribe while you're at it
Imagine Duncan Robinson with the Warriors🔥🔥🔥
That spacing with the Splash Brothers would be CRAZY, not to mention Draymond dropping dimes left and right fr.
@@piripiao245 it wouldn't work, they need guys on the inside. They aldready have a catch and shoot guy in Klay, they don't need another one. Green isn't a scorer, they need a guy like KD who can get points on the inside aswell. That is spacing, if the only issue is 3 point shooters just cover the perimiter.
@@nagboinfi lol no. The Warriors offense is built around getting floor spacers like Robinson open, having to worry about 3 guys would only make life easier for Warriors teammates and allow average finishers at the rim to look even more like superstars than it already does. The gravity of the 3 shooters would take the pressure off any other players on the roster inside and get them easy looks, the same way it has for years with players like Iggy, Draymond, Barnes, Livingston, Barbosa, Bogut, Looney etc. You can never have too much shooting in the modern NBA, especially if you have high level playmakers like Draymond and Steph still on the roster and an offense built around it like GSW does
Nope he belongs to our heat.
@@piripiao245 A Curry Klay Duncan Durant Draymond lineup would be actually impossible to guard
Even though duncan does not shoot well this year, he's still a threat and teams guard him better than last year
I love that a down year for this guy is 39% from 3.
So true. But because of that, he’s improving his D a lil and finding diff ways to score.
@@flako4rmdade305 i think its a natural progression because hes developing other aspects of his game and teams game plan for him
Still elite.. lol over 40% from 3 over 7 attempts a game
@@Cryptech1010 he had some bad games but i think it's the way teams guard him
RESPECT
He’s still overlooked as a top Heat player. He deserves more recognition in Miami!
And that's now done with his new contract ! Super happy for him
Ya now he got paid
Hard work eventually pay's off!
He’s my favorite player in the league since two years ago and I’m glad he is starting to get the credit he deserves
very nice video
2 of my favorite nba players, duncan and robinson. and then there's this guy, making it 4. 2 duncans and 2 robinsons.
The way the NBA is today is the way I wanted to play in HS (which for me was 1995-99). Shooting 3 pointers meant getting benched during my era. Lucky for the younger players who get to bomb away like that.
His shot is so pretty, props to him
When I first saw this guy, I immediately thought of a character from Jimmy Neutron. He looks EXACTLY like him. I forgot the name though.
Sheen
Sean 😭
They catcall him jimmy neutron in the bubble 😭👏🏻😂 i think he kinda likes it lol
If he improves defensively he's gonna be the premier 3D guy in the league
Even if his defense gets decent he’s in good standing
Premier is a bit of an over stretch. Klay may be gone but he ain’t gonna get beat by this kid. I mean the kid is good he ain’t klay tho
@@RandomWords62737 Ain't no one ever gonna surpass Charles Henry Cooper tho.
You can't improve from being poor to being excellent, only to being decent. You just don't have the tools to do it. Improving to being decent on D does not make someone a 3& D.
@@Somm_RJ the reason being because he's white? That's why he "doesn't have the tools". That's classic stereotyping bro
I like this series. Also, in the description it says Kevini Durant not Kevin Durant.
Robinson n Kindred nun catch n shoot is wonderful
Robinson n Kindred nun will go down as one of the most catch n shoot in NBA today
Miami is still one of the most dangerous team in the NBA come playoff time. We all know what they are capable of. Without this Covid Protocols and Injury bugs, they are simply top 4-5 in the East.
can you do one of these for Jayson Tatum's unassisted threes?
Definitely another fine example of giving someone a chance to prove their latent potentials Glad he got recognition now & for fun, Duncan’s pretty chill with the cartoon resemblance of a Sheen from Jimmy Neutron
I remember I think his sophomore year at Michigan, Dickie V and Mike Tirico were calling the Michigan vs Maryland game and Dickie V said Duncan Robinson is going to be a pro. Mike Tirico was like "You really think so?", and Dickie V was like ABSOLUTELY 😂. And he was right.
Unfortunately, teams figured out how Duncan Robinson moves under the screens on the floor, which gives him less room for shots like he was taking in the 2020 Playoffs, but I like how Robinson plays inside more often than he has been before. He's just a solid 2020 average NBA player.
Who’s here after he got that bag😎 one of my favorite players to watch💵💵🎯
As a heatlifer thank you
Love how he thumb flicks. Now I feel better
🔥🔥Elite status ..
His release is soo pretty even the misses are pretty
i agree, like mahomes throwing an incomplete pass looks impressive (obv duncan not a top player at his sport like mahomes but ya)
This dude way better then hero.
Pat Riley Really Good When Picking Draft Picks
Heat have them best coach, the best front office and by far the best scouts and player development department in the entire league. Keep acting like we won’t get a title in the very very near future.
Lightly recruited in high school -> post grad year at Exeter -> D3 -> undrafted D1 -> g-league -> looking for nba team -> one of the best 3 point shooters in nba history I’m not even a Miami Heat fan
that #55 jersey looks clean too
good to see clayton crowley get some recognition
Fun fact Kendrick nunn was averaging like 25 a game in the g league 2018 and got cut by GS
Why i havent seen any Dirk Nowitzki episodes here? Title is signature shots but you leaving out a legend.. Cmon
Him and Herro remind me of my dynasty team in NBALive09 which had JJ Redick and Kyle Korver.
He reminds me of a young Kyle Korver.
7:03 pause
amazing underdog story
So happy for him. Go Blue baby
He back
Another undrafted player who grinded for an opportunity, got one, and is having a ball with it. The fact that he's already up there with Steph and Klay as far as 3pt shooting efficiency after breaking out just last year shows his potential.
FINALLY.. Someone has noticed this guy's shooting
And got THE bag. 90/5 for the most lucrative deal of an undrafted player in NBA history. Let's go HEAT!
That's a Michigan man love seeing him killing it in the league Go Blue 〽️
It'd be nice if he could consistently make them every game. He'd be a super weapon
As a Michigan fan I didn’t expect him to go high but when he was undrafted I found it disrespectful. Scouts must’ve not watched his college highlights
You don't get drafted from highlights.
Good video and Duncan has a bright future. I do disagree that John Paxson was an obscure role player. He was the starting PG on 3 NBA Championship teams. 🏀🙂
He LITERALLY is talking sh** after every single made shot they've showed hahaha you gotta love it!!
why is this guy not in the 3point shootout contest in the all-star game 🤦🏻♂️
