I cant believe only four people said Bullard's wide open three. When Matt was open, it was going in no matter what.
Yep. His jump hook was his meat-and-potatoes shot. Always there and reliable. The fade-away seemed to used once in a while and for game winners.
Olajuwon's hook was WAY more automatic than his fadeaway, mostly because it was an easier shot. Yes, the fadeaway was prettier, but it wasn't more efficient. It was only help in the case that it renders double teams useless, if he's fading away from the double.
You know Nick Anderson's career was never the same after that, I heard it haunted him for a long time... Aren't we forgetting Mad Max from anywhere inside the half-court line? Maybe not TOTALLY reliable, but he'd hit a big one more often than not Kenny Smith's open three was reliable until after the championship years when he pretty much disappeared...anyone else notice the resemblance between his arc and Eddie Griffin's?
Wait a minute. I just read in some other posts that Rudy T had a facial on Wilt? Was he a really good dunker back then? Maybe my joke is more of a reality.
