I have a question specifically on what motion I should FEEL like I'm doing with my shooting arm during a jumpshot, not necessarily the specifics of the form like elbow alignment, wrist flick, etc.

Should my shooting arm moving the ball from the shot pocket to the release feel like a pushing/extending motion, pretty much taking the ball's upward momentum from the jump and guiding it toward the rim by extending my arm/hand straight down my shot arc?

Or should it feel like throwing a ball? Like taking the ball's upward momentum from the jump and then instead of a push its more of an catapulting elbow motion, like throwing a football with different body mechanics?
