Regarding what it looked like when Kent did his lineshots: Here’s the video examples I found, with short comments by me!

Line shot-block touch-out: https://youtu.be/O4ls3ftokWU?t=435

Angle shot but looks like a similar wristsnappy technique: https://youtu.be/O4ls3ftokWU?t=566

Line shot although not as deep into the court as Steve described: https://youtu.be/O4ls3ftokWU?t=800

Line shot, probably the closest that I found to Steve's description: https://youtu.be/O4ls3ftokWU?t=1187

Also a good example, has a slowmotion replay from another angle afterwards: https://youtu.be/d9KcarnrgRQ?t=624

Take that comment about best example away, here's the best: https://youtu.be/d9KcarnrgRQ?t=868

Another one even though defender moved early and picked it up: https://youtu.be/d9KcarnrgRQ?t=967

One more, not as deep: https://youtu.be/d9KcarnrgRQ?t=1687

Off the block: https://youtu.be/d9KcarnrgRQ?t=1822

Another off the block: https://youtu.be/d9KcarnrgRQ?t=1934
