JJ Redick Does the Impossible

That wasn't nearly as uncontested as Iverson's brick on an all-alone fast break this week.

 

I'm not one of Reddick's biggest fans, but I don't see what the big deal is. He came up short on a layup attempt. It happens.

 

I've seen guys blow some really wide open layups/dunks. Smush Parker completely blew a wide open layup on the clear path fastbreak. No one was in front of him. Julian Wright also blew one. It was even more embarassing because he fell on his face.

David Wesley, anyone?

wesley's was the worst

 

I would still love to have Redick, trade V-SPAN for him straight up. Throw in Novak and or JL3.

 

Beat me to it. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when that rolled out.

 

Anybody remember Kevin Ollie finger-rolling a layup backwards over his own head in OT of 2002 playoffs against the Nets. After the loss Miller was pissed and said "I should have never passed the ball"

 

Its not just that he missed, but he airballed a layup. That is pretty embarassing.

 

why is wesley still in NBA?

 

Cool. All of them must go to the Rafer Altson school of Bricking Layups.

 

How is it impossible if it happens all the time?

 

I could've sworn that Rafer has missed quite a few of those throughout the season.

 

it looks like he came up almost a foot too short

 

Well, to be fair, do you know what else he's doing?

Getting 6.0 PPG on 0.53 TOPG and bad, but not terrible FG (40% 2FG and 37.5% 3FG). He's leaps and bounds above pretty much any of our scrubs, and he's a rookie, so the hell yes I want him.

...But yeah, airballing a wide open layup...eh. Eh.

 

The video would be over 100 minutes long if we were to string together all Rafer's and Luther's layup misses this year.

 

If you add in Chuck then it would be over 500 minutes.

 

The Wesley one wasn't entirely his fault. The bounce pass came too late, as he was already right under the basket and moving forward.

 

I'd still trade Luther for Redick anyday.
