That's what a 3 point shooting contest is. You and swamp and now Abe are barking on who can make the most uncontested shots, right?
I don't think you understand what I am saying. I am physically incapable of making shots with coverage on me, never have in my life.
I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.

I also can't use an NBA sized ball so we will shoot with a 27.5 children's ball.

Would you smoke steph curry in said contest because I am now shooting as efficient as he does.

And is that your only skill? A wide open set shot? Lmao. By have zero game. My shooting is on a whole new level in all aspects... My release is now officially a lethal weapon.
I'd smoke you shooting 3's. Stop deflecting.
Sure thing, Internet thought guy. We believe you.

No really, seriously, we do.
Nothing in that post insinuates toughness. I'd smash you shooting 3s and I don't even play ball anymore.

If the last post didn't sound tough you nailed it with this one... You don't even play basketball and your the best shooter I've ever heard of on an anonymous message board. You have ME convinced!

Really... You do. I'm serious. I believe you.... Internet tough guy.

I'd bet the op doesn't and hasn't ever played any form of organized basketball. Just a shot in the dark there.

I've played organized basketball. It's not a stretch at this point for me to try out for any of the several leagues they have in Europe.

But anyways... Harping that you can make practice shots unguarded is laughable. Practicing shots is a joke to me because I don't miss my practice shots to the point that I've made them more difficult by incorporating a variety of dribbles and moves that would otherwise free me up during a real game... And i practice those shots with high accuracy now, such as the crossover stop and pop, the step back, the fadaway, quick releases, mid range, 30 feet out off the dribble, cuts thru the paint catch and shoot, the list goes on... I add degrees of difficulty to my shots during practice so that when I am in the game and they are contested I can still rely on my techniques.

But whatever... U wanna hang ur hat on shooting unguarded shots like a rookie.

We can have two competitions bro. One unguarded with the pink girl's ball (the only competition I can afford to compete in) and one where he have a lockdown defender on us while we're shooting.

Any glove-like defenders here?

Not true at all… I'm a very clutch player when my team needs a shot I make it not only that I have a post game and I driving to lane I mix it up so I keep my defense offguard and continually guessing
