Re: Josh Ariah Interview in Bluff
[ QUOTE ]
there is an enormous difference between casually knocking down some treys in warm ups and TRYING to knock down 70 out of 100. so dont think that if alonzo mourning TRIED to knock down 70 three pointers out of 100 he could do it because you saw him casually hit 8 out of 12 which is below 70% by the way. [/ QUOTE ] Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't the point of warmups to warm up your muscles, not to figure out how to shoot baskets? If someone can hit 66% while exercising their arms, I'm sure he can hit 70% while focusing on making baskets.

You give Calvin Murphy a basketball and make him take 3 steps back from the free throw line and I bet he doesn't make half. [/ QUOTE ] that would be one hell of a stupid bet.

Re: Josh Ariah Interview in Bluff
in basketball its not so much warming up your muscles but trying to find your touch. you obviously have never played basketball but the best way to shoot is with a smooth effortless stroke and beofore the games pay attention to them, they make it look effortless. but when there is something on the line (win, loss, money etc) its more difficult to keep that smooth stroke.
example) an nba basketball players free throw % is better in practice than in a game where there isnt a man in his face or a shot clock to deal with, because there are more outside influences involved in a game free throw (win, loss, fan distraction). what people dont realize is how the difficulty level always increases when something is riding on it, this is why we have great players and superstars...cause in practice everyone looks like a superstar.

My point is there is virtually no way random Joe can do it. I've been playing basketball for 30 years, and have a pretty good jump shot and I don't think I'd make 20 out of 100 on a bet.

Re: About the 3 pointers
From the original post it says the guy was to make 70 out of 100 free throws, so wouldnt that put this whole argument to rest. Or did I misread?
