What is your favorite type of bball shot?

[RoyalDiva]

I asked this on the Lounge, but then decided it would make an excellent poll on this forum.

 

[keflanag]

Come on. As Kings Fans it should clearly be a soft layup when a dunk would have been the easiest play.

 

[SlimKid15]

A Fade away when someone's all up in your grille.

 

[VF21]

I like driving lay-ups... I know we don't see many of them, but I like them.

 

[RoyalDiva]

Rats, forgot all about the lay-up! Unfortunately it looks like I can't edit the poll to add that option in.

 

[piksi]

Any shot that Kings make and any that the opponents miss

 

[Alacron]

My favorite is the '50s hook shot, where the unathletic white guy with neatly combed hair takes a fruity-looking hop while lobbing the ball against no defensive pressure.



Wait a second... that was me at the park this weekend!

Problem solved...

exactly.....

 

[bibby-the-man]

I prefer 15 foot jumpers and lay-ups

 

[sN0rtON]

The 3-pointers are my favourites, easy.

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

A Dunk, dont see enough of them when watching the Kings

 

[Padrino]

i've always been a fan of post moves and half-hooks. takes a lot more control and concentration than one might think.

 

[thesanityannex]

a shaq made free throw, hands down favorite.

 

[Evilmav2]

Sweeping hooks, jump hooks, turn-around jumpers, and drop-step moves...

 

[KingKong]

Peja's clutch shot, in game 7 of the finals, to win the championship.

 

[Rowdyone]

A Kings dunk when a normal layup would have been blocked.

 

[LPKingsFan]

Peja's back door layup on a bullet pass from Doug Christie at the top of the key. Worked every time.

You never see one. I want to see Bibby dunk.

 

[Londonking]

Provided it goes in..I'll take the shot which give us the greatest contribution to our score line...hoist those threes...

 

[Bballkingsrock]

Sebian lay-ups are just amusing to watch!! He hits them a little farther away from 3 point land when hte clock is ticking. I LOVE shots at eh buzzer for hte win!!

 

[Old #11]

Maybe it's because back in the "old days", we were taught to bank our shots, but I love watching a good bank shot ala Tim Duncan style.

At your request....

 

[funkykingston]

What I'd like to see is a clip of the Jason Williams dunk in transition from years back. It was pretty spectacular.

As I said in the other thread, I love the up and under.

I also like a tried-and-true drop step, a half hook, a full hook, or a turnaround jumper from the post when being overplayed into the lane.

Too bad true post players are all but extinct in the NBA. I'm a little tired of scouting reports that start off with "for a seven footer he handles the ball like a guard" or "has amazing range for a player his size".

I'd love to watch an NBA game and see some real post battles again.

I meant dunk in the NBA. I know he dunked once when he played for Vancouver. Dunk for the KINGS.

 

[thesanityannex]

alley-opp should be on the list. i would have picked that, definitely my favorite.

 

[sono]

3 pointer (love Peja's).

He did dunk for the Kings, it was a simple one hander.


Bobby tries to tomahawk it the last two times I've seen him attempt a dunk.

 

[Fillmoe]

i dont know how it could be anything besides the half court heave! my personal favorite was when dwayne wade blocked amare stoudemire and than tossed a hail mairy from the opposing 3 point line that went in....

Half court heaves completely bore me -- they aren't basketball related at all. Just a half step above luck.


Now free throws are exciting.

(actually somebody mentioned a drop step post move above -- thing of beauty when done well)
