This is impressive but also it’s not as impressive as some of you will make it.

I’ve seen amateurs go 30+ straight. A pro will hit 50+ straight and no one will blink. It’s when you do it at game speed with mutants on your hip that it becomes :krs:

Obviously Reggie did that, Steph continues to do it etc…those are the wow moments.

It makes you realize how much an average (or better) NBA defender can make a difference.

Most of these dudes and ESPECIALLY the Reggie's, Steph's, KD's, Dirk's etc., could go to a gym and hit 950 out of 1,000 shots from all over the floor. Mid-range jumper? Probably damn near 100% solo, maybe 80% or 90% with an average Joe guarding them but down to like 50% with an decent NBA player on them.

Because most normal people can go into a gym and shoot a basketball.....it's easier in hoops to see how big the gap is between regular people, elite high school/college players and professionals.

Elite high school/college brehs will just run you off the floor with their athleticism. Pros are the opposite where they look like they're barely trying, moving 1/4 speed and not even getting into their bag and just scoring on you with the most basic moves......like pros will beat you just as bad as the former D1 breh, but the pro can do it with half the effort.
