JT seems to have way too much trouble around the rim. Is he thinking too much?
And on a side note about taunts... I don't see why they are looked down upon. I think it adds a little fun to the game, the same way touchdown celebrations do.
Taunts in close games are often the first step towards tempers heating up, which leads to bench-clearing brawls. That was, IIRC, the explanation the league used when they outlawed it.
