[Game] Kings @ Spurs - 4/12/13

Reke has improved his 3pt % from 20% last year to 34% this year. For anyone like Herewestay thinking Reke sucks at shooting, I'd love to see someone find the last player to increase their 3pt shooting % by 14 or more % in a single season while also attempting more 3's than the previous year.
But this conversation is just dumb. I play at a gym where a number of Warriors, St. Marys and Cal players play and see these guys up close. Anyone thinking because they can hit shots unguarded by themselves somehow means they're better shooters than these player is flat out delusional. Doesn't matter which players I've seen up close in this gym as there's no way to prove it but I will say Adonal Foyle used to do his off season workouts regularly in this gym and I'd watch, even rebound for him. Shooting around and doing drills he'd knock down jumper after jumper from all over the court. You'd never know it watching him in an NBA game. But that's the point, these guys are extremely talented even if they aren't shooters at an NBA level. Foyle's handle was better than most high school starting PG's. These guys are just at a different level. And no, Herewestay couldn't even beat Chuck Hayes in a shooting contest let alone Reke. Just don't know how good these guys are until you see them up close when practicing.

Dude... please...
This is becoming awkward and embarrassing. You are NOT going to convince anyone on this board that you could beat Tyreke Evans in a jumper contest. Any and I mean ANY credibility you may have had with the members of this forum is rapidly dissolving into a pool of nothingness. We have a great group of basketball fans around here, some of whom are actually retired professional players in various sports, others who have coaching background, others who have studied all parts of the game for more years than you've been alive, etc. We are not going to be convinced until/unless you can arrange for an actual head-to-head "jumper contest" with Evans. Do that and we'll talk.

all im asking for is for reke to shoot at least 10 mid range shots a game. even if they are contested ones, just shoot it! i swear sometimes he goes gamesss without shooting a mid range shot. or he just shoots three. thats unacceptable for a sg. hes going to injure his acl like kobe did last night by driving and putting to much work on his legs/foot
why cant nba players make wide open shots in the game but in practice they can make everything wide open? is it the crowd? scared of being watched? nerves? ect
edit, im going to mckenly park tomorrow at 1 if any of you want to see my mid range shot in practice. if anybody knows reke tell him to meet me there

Dude, with all due respect, no one cares! I certainly don't. You do realize that your making a total fool of yourself, right? I'm not sure how old your are, so I thought I would bring that to your attention. There is a word. Credibility! Right now, your losing it by the bucket full. Unless that is, this is your attempt at comedy. If so, then well done!
