Chris Matthews, better known as Lethal Shooter, is arguably the most sought after shooting trainer for NBA players. His signature technique, which he tags as 'the act of shooting', bothers with mental focus, consistency and repetition.

He has worked with tons of NBA stars who have continued to compete at the highest level with their improved shooting skills. Some of his clientele include the LA Lakers' Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis, alongside WNBA players such as Candace Parker and Skylar Diggins-Smith.

Grant Williams always gives 150% in training! In this particular video he couldn’t leave the gym without going 45/50 from NBA 3PT! After I make changes you can’t go back to OLD HABITS! Trust the changes. The footwork & mechanics has to stay sharp or back to 0.🍀#NBA @Grant2Will https://t.co/OKLAU0E4MU

He has also been working with Boston Celtics players, Grant Williams and Daniel Theis. Helping them in their quest to be better players for their team and improving their shooting abilities in the process.

"Grant Williams is shooting 42.3% from the 3PT this season and ranked Top5 in the NBA," Matthews said. "Daniel Theis is getting more comfortable in the Celtics system shooting 36% from 3. Feels good to see my guys to refine their games. Blessing to help others with The Art of Shooting."
