How does the video compare Jeremy Lin's release time with Ray Allen's?

Conditions

• The values are presented as averages in the narration.
• The clip does not define the exact start and end events used to measure release time.

Reasoning, step by step

1. Read Lin's release time from the graphic as 0.60 seconds.
2. Read Allen's release time from the comparison graphic as 0.73 seconds.
3. Compare the two elapsed times to determine which release is faster.

Example

A split-screen comparison shows Ray Allen at 0.73 seconds, so Lin's displayed release is 0.13 seconds faster.

Common misconceptions

• Assuming the release time measures the flight time of the ball.
• Believing that unorthodox shooting form necessarily results in a slower release time.
