[QUOTE="BashCtIllini, post: 1819560, member: 748491"] You know, shooting a basketball is not something just everyone can do, especially with D1 athletes trying to stop you. When I was at the fair alma mater I remember talking about basketball in a Motor Control class, and scientists don't really know how a person knows how to shoot a ball. It is just that mind body connection that tells a guy to shoot at this arc and with this much force. Some guys can work forever and will never be an above average shooter. That said, practice will help, but not everyone is capable of ever becoming a 40%+ 3 pt shooter or 80%+ from the stripe. The announcers were going on and on about Terrance Shannon but he shot 83% on FT as a Fr and improved his 3 pt shooting every year, being over 38% last year. So he wasn't starting as a bad shooter like they seemed to be trying to make him out. Sidenote, am I the only person that thought it was hilarious that he wakes up at 4:20. Terrance, do you have something to tell us? lol [/QUOTE]
