Sorry about the couple of days of not blogging – I have been out in the park shoveling the snow off the court to work on my handle and jump-shot.
While reading Sports Illustrated this morning I came across an interesting story on J.J. Redick and Adam Morrison and their journey in the NBA. Do you recall a couple of years ago they were battling it out for who the best college player was at the time. Hence, it’s not easy to make it in the league. John Wertheim from Sports Illustrated has the piece.
“It can be humbling,” says Redick, “but sometimes it can be good to get punched in the mouth and try to get back up. Me, I needed to be humbled.”
SI also took a NBA Players survey on the best pure shooters in the history of the game in the same issue.
Ray Allen, Celtics G…..26%
Reggie Miller, retired Pacers G-F……15%
Larry Bird, retired Celtics F……10%
Jason Kapono, Raptors G-F……10%
Peja Stojakovic, Hornets F…..8%
What, no Chris Mullin? The cat shot .509 from the field for his career. No one had a sweeter stroke than the former Xaverian Clipper by way of Flatlands avenue. Today’s players need to “You Tube” the former Redmen if they want to see a pure shooter.
PLAY THE RIGHT WAY!
