Heck if you notice he doesn't follow through as much anymore because its hard for him to extend his elbow all the way. He kind of does a push shot or a one handed shot that you see on pullup threes.
His great shooting came from his smooth follow through and silky release from any position, but he has had to adjust to make his elbow more comfortable. Case and point why he never took off his right shooting sleeve since injuring his elbow.
