There’s something poetic about the midrange shot that’s so under appreciated

@@gsl649 because not everyone in the league are not “top” players nowadays the average players and team settle for the 3 ball which is the way things have turned since the warriors took over but come playoff time alot of the top players go alot more for the mid-range shots as it becomes more competitive and harder to score

@@dangerwhite697 same, Some of the best performance I have watched where a guy was doing everything was actually from westbrook. In that 2017 Playoff series versus houston he almost had one of the best playoff performances ever if it wasn't because of his poor 4th quarter performances. I would amazed how great he was in the series. The man was doing everything for his team. As soon as he went out they would lose 10 point leads. Then he would go back in and give them a 5 point lead. Unfortunately he played so poorly in three or 4 different 4th quarters in that series.

I agree. You don’t get a nickname like “The Truth” unless you’re really like that on the court. Just like you, Kobe is my favorite player ever but as a fan of the sport in totality it would be unfair to not give Paul Pierce his props cuz he beat Kobe in the finals with a Finals MVP. He was a midrange killer. Walking bucket.

That Durant pullup from like 15 off the double screen is just automatic for as long as he can rise up. Doesn't even need lift or quickness, just a routine practice shot when your release is that high and your arms are 7'5'.

The green Bulls St. Patricks day jerseys were kinda dumb. I remember in 09 the Bulls and Celtics were playing each other on St. Patrick's day in Chicago. The Bulls wore green jerseys while the Celtics, you know... based on a leprechaun, wore their home jerseys instead of their green away jerseys. That never made sense.
Butler's defence was tight, just nothing you can do when KD's hot
