Because IT ISN'T THAT EASY TO CHANGE HOW YOU SHOOT! Oh my goodness dude you are like ... wow. SGs are supposed to shoot and not just drive. Hey Kyle Korver is a really good shooter, but SGs also aren't just supposed to shoot, they should drive. Let's give him the ball and let him take it to the rim, because sometimes he holds his team back by not doing so. Just ... wow. Have a good day.
Lol. I don't think you realize how good pros are. There are numerous youtube videos of Tyreke splashin jumpers over All-American high school players. There are videos of him hitting all of his jumpers unguarded in practice. His problem is more mental than anything. Unless you are some sort of undiscovered basketball prodigy, I highly doubt you can beat an NBA pro in a shooting contest. Silliest thing I've ever heard in my life.
Another thing to add. There are approximately 7 billion people in the world. There are about 450 NBA players. That's less than 1% of the world's population that make it. Those 450 are the elite of the elite. A bench scrub is still a better basketball player than 98% of the world (some college players are already good enough to be pros, hence the added 1%).
I agree with most of this bit I dont' think Tyreke's problem is more mental than anything. His shot isn't pretty in those videos even thought he is draining them. Tyreke's problems with his shot are his shooting fundamentals. He has been much better this year and I think he will get better as time goes on.
all right, nobody else is really saying it, so i'm gonna: this whole chest-puffing schtick of yours is juvenile and embarrassing. whether you're aware of it or not, it simply isn't a good look for you. tyreke evans' jump shot has improved dramatically since his rookie season. he continues to stick in-game jumpers regularly, and i fully expect that we'll see further improvement over the course of his career. and to claim that your high school gym experience means even the slightest of ****s when compared to the rigors of competing at the professional level is a false equivalency of the greatest magnitude. it's just erroneous on all counts, i'm afraid...
i used to practice long hours like they did, whats not hard to understand? 4 hours a day is a lot of freaking jump shots. any body can be a good shooter if you shoot that long 5 times a week. you just have to keep practacing. im not saying im a better player, im just saying if we were in the gym seeing who can make the most jumpers i would probly win
When I was in HS and College, I used to shoot hours on end as well and was a very good shooter and player. But all I had to do was go play some street ball with some serious talent to see the difference. When you play on the same court with guys who are at a completely different level (I played in college), it becomes a lot harder to compare yourself to NBA type talent.
im talking about just shooting around in an open gym not in an actual game, of course reke can beat me, but i might have an above average shot in beating him in a jumper contest. not on 1 on 1 ball. since were talking about street ball, im alright. im 6'2 so i average 4 blocks a game just with my iq alone lol. but reke would beat me 1 on 1 but not in a jumper contest
