    Watched basketball for 35 years..this is a first

    Crazy in itself this dude LaMelo pulling up from HALF COURT just because, right? Sure he is a UCLA prospect but this is the best shot 5 guys can get? Whatever. So his defender is actually guarding him to take away... the HALF COURT shot. That also in itself is insane. LaMelo "pulls up" anyway and gets his half court shot BLOCKED.

    Half court pull up just part of generation hot dog. Slick pass in second half of video though.

    If this doesnt make you root for the Spurs then nothing will. Maybe Mark Jackson was on to something when he said Curry hurts the game.

    ...and this is one facked up looking shot. Is he pushing it with his thumb on his non-shooting hand?

    Shooters are extending their range. Being a Rockets fan, I see many 3 point shots. Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson, and James Harden are not afraid to take a jump shot from 26-27 feet, and that's with plenty of time still on the shot clock.

    Billy have you seen his older brother Lonzo at UCLA? One of the ugliest forms I've ever seen... And he repeatedly drills deep shots. Weird.

    I'm coaching a youth basketball team and one of the kids jacked up a 40 footer in the 1st quarter of our game on Saturday. I immediately called a timeout, gathered the entire team and grabbed him by his jersey and said for everyone to hear, "you take another shot like that and you will be sitting in the stands next to your mom and dad. Do you understand."

    I told the team that showboating, arguing with the refs, taking bad shots, not hustling are all signs of being selfish. You are playing for you and not the team. No one is above the team...

    Coaches at the high school level need to start using that mentality or get lost. That's how the AAU programs and varsity teams were like when I was a kid. Now it's a bunch of jerkoffs coaching every and any sport they can to collect a paycheck in the public sectors. Alot know nothing of the game and just allow the best athletes to do whatever they want without consequence

    If you can't shoot half court, you shouldn't be playing basketball

    Play the game right, take the shot!

    once in school our football coach said we could skip practice if one of our receivers made a shot from half court...guy made it and we all went nuts, guy instantly became a legend...never would have happened if he didn't take the shot

    Anyone have research on whether longer shots create longer offensive rebounds/ more offensive rebounds? There could be a "number of possessions" factor here in play along with general shooting percentage of 3's/ 2 via OFB, versus conventional offense.

    NBA game continues to evolve in an interesting way withing existing rules, unlike NFL

    Crawford shot it because Jordan was grabbed off the ball but the refs missed it. It should of been a freeroll.

    I watched a 7th grade AAU game last weekend. The winning team's MVP took home the team's trophy. The player was a high school freshman.

    It was a lot like this...

    What's so fukked up with you is that you don't even realize that you subconsciously mention that the man was black and don't even address what race the woman was. Nor that she was arrested multiple times, had a current warrant for her arrest, blew smoke in multiple people's faces, spit, pushed and punched a guy and you still think she's innocent because she looks like your inbred sister. You see color, you see gender, you see your white hood in your closet you redneck lil punk. You talk a lot of shit behind your keyboard but we all know you're a little dick coward.
