Who is someone that seems to throw up alot of shots and basically doesn't do much else. . . . Antoine Walker Glen Robinson Glen Rice Allen Iverson ok Iverson tries to play D Who else should be on this list
I have to go with Glenn Robinson. At least Walker will pass it every once in a while when he's trying to show off his point forward skills.
Antoine Walker. He's one of the most worthless players I've ever seen. Dallas trading for that cancer's the worst move they've made since Cuban joined. I had the... errm... "privilege" of seeing him in person a lot for Boston. He takes plays off when he's not going to shoot, he never met a long range shot he didn't like (and he can't shoot the 3). It's an utter waste. When he bothers, he's got great passing instincts. He's dynamic about 18 feet away from the basket, and had great moves. He could have been the best point forward in the game. Instead, he's a tall guard who can't shoot.
throw in slava and that's a great list. when i really just think shoots, shoots, shoots some more, and does nothing else, i really think of big dog first. i mean it just seems like he shoots all the time and there's nothing else he's even decent at. but, he hits his shots, so i don't think i can make him the biggest chucker. as far as pure shot selection and throwing up everything, i'll have to give it to toine. he'll shoot from anywhere, he shoots all the time, and he doesn't shoot well. sure, he'll have a game where he hits 5 3's every once in a while, but all the 3 for 17's in between don't help. as far as "why the hell do you always shoot" it's slava and i'm not sure it's close. i swear, the guy plays with four hall of famers on the court and he is as big a lock to take a shot once he gets the ball as anyone in the league. i remember our first game against the lakers this year, he was something like 1-12 in the middle of the 3rd quarter, yeah the 3rd quarter , though it was partially b/c we purposely left him open, and he then proceeded to catch a ball and basically because he wasn't completely guarded he decided to chuck it up again. hit the side of the backboard. even though he was helping us i almost wanted to scream "STOP SHOOTING!" i think he finally did at that point or he just got pulled, one or the other. it's just amazing how much he'll shoot. mo taylor is a passing machine in comparison. however, having said all that, because he doesn't get nearly the volume of shots of toine, the title reverts back to walker. iverson i don't consider a chucker like these guys because that's what he's there to do for the sixers' offense, even if it is chucking a lot of the time. plus he hustles a lot and gets steals so he does something else.
Richard Jefferson should be on that list. Did you see him in that celebrity game? He was one of 4 NBA players in the game at any given time, and was a complete black hole - throw ball in, ball never comes out. He was taking it way too seriously.....but I digress.
Antoine Walker is my choice too. Kobe Bryant isn't your definition of "chucker", as he is a terrific all-around player. But he does have a chucker mentality at times. Some of the garbage he throws up just makes you scratch your head.
if you watched summer league, kirk synder for the jazz was like that. though i can't believe jerry sloan will allow that.
Iverson may try to pass once in every ten possessions, but this Iverson wattabe passes once in every two seasons.
Why does Iverson have 19 votes, but nobody seems to be making the case against him? Iverson gives you more than just a lot of shots, which is more than what I can say for Mr. Walker.
