X-rays negative pop that tendon back...

Alright that was legit

But who hasn't busted a finger playing hoops

Really?
How many of those top shooters can make 90+% of their FT’s, let alone 3’s?

Your list of better shooters in the NBA then Duncan are?

His sample size now is legit.

Another great story, and another player who went from going un drafted to ( my guess) a 20M/year player next summer.

are you being serious? Solid player and great story, but shouldn't he need to have more than 1 such season? Maybe I'm wrong, but thinking might need to do more than shoot (and for more than 1 season) to be a $20 mil/yr. guy.

would add not exactly a guy like stef who has shown he can dominate when teams are designing a D to stop him. Is Robinson a guy who could be the #1 or 2 guy on a good team that the other team tries to stop in order to win?

That's not good for Rockets fans. But now the Bearded One can launch up 40 shots.

Always.

Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood!

All-time classic.

All-time classic.

That movie is hilarious.

He would have to.
He’s under contract next season.
He’s already becoming more than just a 3 point shooter, which you would know if you had been watching Heat games.
He’s motivated in general. Knowing payday is a year away, he’s going to try to really add to his game this offseason.

As far as the 20M, maybe its high? Maybe not? I saw a twitter conversation where ‘some’ were suggesting a max. I was just running with that.
Even if its 10-15M, hes earned the right to a nice payday.

Just in case y'all forgot.

Did you hear the Chiefs ars trading Kelse? I mean they're signing him to a contract extension.

A Sixers 1st round exit might be the end of Brett Brown.
Which could be a good thing.

I don't know.

There is a certain amount of disdain that Philly/Boston has between one another, so yeah, a Sixers series win is possible, but without Simmons, not too likely. I don't know if Brown is coaching for his job in this one. It's hard to gauge this season. Can't blame injuries.

I personally think his time is up.
We need to try something different.
The hard part is that who would be a better option to coach this team right now?

We are locked into getting the OKC pick, so there's that.
But, not too many late picks are going to swing the balance of power.

It is definitely a good thing.

He never figured out how to use Simmons and the team seems to have poor culture according to ex 6er players.

Only problem is that it might be too late. They are cap strapped now and lost their ability to sign a 3rd star.

Pure shooter? I don’t know. Probably a few.

But you are quoting stats from a drill. And I am telling you a lot of NBA shooters can hit 90% + 3s in drills.

Definitely a great story in terms of his development and rise to prominence. I am just telling you the shooting drill stats you quoted aren’t as great as you think compared to other top shooters.
