Odd shooting form.
Also, that attempt at the Tony Parker teardrop at ~:15.

No. I'd still be 5'9" and still couldn't shoot.

I feel like I'm watching one of those old school Goofy cartoons where Goofy teaches you how to do something.

Easily when I was younger...I would be one of the top players in the league and wouldn't need to shoot over ten feet from the hoop

It looks like the game was a lot more aggressive back then. Are you worried at all about getting a concussion? You seem to get head injuries quite easily.elartman1973 wrote:Easily when I was younger...I would be one of the top players in the league and wouldn't need to shoot over ten feet from the hoop

That commentator was going HAM on describing the action though, holy shit.
The "excitement in voice to exciting action" ratio was way higher than today.

Wow, that's bad...
If it were granted that I was the same size and had the same athletic ability, I don't see why I couldn't be one of the better players on that court.
