I love it when science catches up to common knowledge. Does the phrase "get some air under it" sound familiar?

Nice vid on the scientific breakdown

good to watch steph....but do not listen to him tell you how it is done


never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

You beat me to it. I was going to post the same video. Curry is an unbelievable shooter. One change I have made in coaching is to heavily emphasize a quicker release. Jump shots that get blocked rarely go in.

Reminds me of the axiom I used with my golf pupils: 100% of the putts left short of the hole never go in.

And for the record, I hate tOSU, and Ricordati and Torgerson are DB's.

Ha! I play with a guy who quotes this line every round except he is fond of saying that "approximately 85% of the putts left short don't go in". I don't have the heart to correct him because I think he "could care less".

The OP should have simply said, "You can't."

I tried this at my pickup games Wed. night.

I think I shot more like Yoakim Noah.

Yep, shoot up not out, especially on free throws

Makes me wonder how much Drazen Petrovic would have scored if not for the accident.

Is that worse than the long walk back to your bag for your sand wedge?
