Shooting

The recent era of Golden State Warriors basketball has produced the greatest long-range shooting team in NBA history. The Warriors possess two of the greatest shooters in NBA history in Steph Curry (greatest shooter of all-time, no debate) and Klay Thompson, and one of the greatest pure scorers in NBA history in Kevin Durant. The [...]

The Markelle Fultz situation in Philadelphia is one of the most bizarre things I have seen in the NBA. The No. 1 pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, who was known for his sweet shooting stroke in college and his ability to score from anywhere on the court, apparently decided to completely change his jump [...]

According to a report from ESPN’s Marc Stein Monday morning, despite having dealt Kris Dunn and recently acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Chicago Bulls, the T’Wolves are still trying to trade Ricky Rubio to acquire more shooting power. [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/879360696571404288] While in some ways Rubio seems like the perfect point guard to feed and put [...]

For all of LeBron James’s seemingly endless talents on a basketball court, shooting free-throws hasn’t always been one of his fortes. James is a 74 percent shooter from the charity stripe for his career, but has struggled this season and is shooting a career-low at 67 percent. LeBron, the perfectionist that he is, is highly [...]

Steph Curry, by his own standards, had a bad outing in the Golden State Warriors’ Thursday night loss to the Chicago Bulls, going for 23 points on 10-of-27 shooting, including a 2-of-11 clip from downtown. He is now 4-of-31 from deep over the last three games, through which the Warriors are 1-2. If you think [...]

Dwyane Wade made his debut playing for his hometown team, making a dream come true Thursday night against the Boston Celtics in the United Center. He proved that he still has something left in the tank as a 34-year-old with quite a few miles on his odometer, leading the Bulls to a 105-99 victory with [...]

Any way you slice it, Kyle Lowry’s shooting efficiency has fallen off of a cliff this postseason. He has been unable to find his touch or rhythm through 9 playoff games and you can tell it is starting to effect him mentally. It’s starting to feel like we are watching the sequel to the critically-acclaimed, [...]

Sneaker lineups for limited releases are nothing out of the ordinary. With more people willing to shell out $100+ dollars for sneakers, sportswear companies are very aware that there are big bucks to be mae from high-priced sneakers. One person took the passion others have for limited footwear as an opportunity to make a come [...]

Earlier today, I bumped into an interesting article by the Wall Street Journal’s Chris Herring. In it, Herring took a look at a specialized job that is now becoming more and more commonplace in the NBA: shooting coach. To Herring’s credit, he makes a mention of the several statistics that support this seemingly unnecessary job. [...]

August 15, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors If you are a Chicago Bulls fan, the words ‘I’m Back’ will probably always take you back to the moment Michael Jordan decided to make his return to the NBA after a short stint in professional baseball. But the day Derrick Rose says those words will be the [...]
