:what: thats a terrible example to use
steph is a volume shooter...that shoots a high percentage.
how do you manipulate shooting a high percentage when you take 30 foot 3 pointers regularly :what:
also who put kevin love up anywhere with any greats all time :what:
shyt like this is why ed named the award after him. He's tried to argue being the greatest shooter ever is luck and not skill.

Knick fans can attest to this.... This nikka Melo can be out there with Steph, Nash, Bird, AND Jesus Shuttlesworth (all historically great freethrow shooters), and he's going to rush to the line when there's a stoppage of play so he can shoot the freethrows to pad his stats - the refs still be discussing the call and there goes Melo at the line hugging the ball getting ready JUST in case.

I swear I seen one time when he was out of the game, and this dude ripped off his warm-up like

So he could try to come in and shoot the technical free throws for the Knicks. Forget about him passing late in games too when other teams are intentionally fouling - he'd rather risk falling out of bounds and committing a turnover then to pass up free points at the charity stripe....

I can't wait for Rose to get out of this hell hole:mjcry:.

baby, that was the old me
few years ago when paul pierce was worth something...he'd try so hard to shoot above 50 percent...he forego shooting 40 footers at the end of quarters to preserve his stats
shyt on the same teams...rajon rondo would be underneath the god damn rim by himself....but pass out for a cheap assist...so he could lead the league in assists

Pierce never did that. He was always a smart player who didn't take those shots.

Rondo prioritized getting teammates going for the most part but I do remember him doing that a couple times

shutup nikka
yes he did....and i remembered him saying he doesnt take those shots for those reasons
i've seen him several times take the ball out for a half court shot with 3-4 seconds but dribble the ball out like a ho
and yes rondo repeatedly stat padded assists for years.

yeah one of the greatest shooters of all time needs to get going with a dunk :mjlol:

What Curry does ain't skill. The nikka just throws shyt up. Its a fukkin gimmick that was exposed in the finals 2 straight years.

As Jay-Z said "only so long fake thugs can pretend."

The luck ran out once he started playing in front of the brightest lights.
