Is my basketball shooting the proper form?

I made a video and wanted to see if my shooting form needs more improvements or not. Also, if anyone doesn't mind telling me who I shoot most similar to in the NBA, if any. Thank you for your time!

Update:

@ Waka - No way I've never seen Shaq shoot like that ever.

Update 2:

@ usmarine - Yeah I don't like shawn marions shot it looks weird. When I was getting back into basketball Pistole Pete was one of the guys I was trying to learn from in games. He's great.

    there is not any incorrect way of capturing a basketball long because it is going interior the basket (this is the entire factor in any case) people who shoot the ball with flicking their wrist is to offer the ball a lower back spin rotation, so whilst the ball hits the rim / lower back board, it has a some distance better risk for the ball to leap interior the basket. and with a sturdy variety, risk is the capturing are straighter then others. for long runs, (in basketball) i could recommand on your to have a sturdy capturing variety, and in case you dont comprehend how, attempt learn Ray Allen's video who i think of has the superb variety in NBA.

    Don't worry too much about shooting form, if the ball goes in, it goes in, I mean look at Shawn Marion. If you really want to perfect your shooting form. look at players such as Ray Allan, JJ Redick, Allan Houston, Pistol Pete

    I didn't watch it but I'm gonna be real with you, f*ck proper form. If it the ball goes in the net consistently, that's all that matters. There really is no proper form I mean there are a bunch of dudes in the NBA who shoot oddly but they score so it really doesn't matter. Everyone shoots differently.
