[QUOTE="21ChampaignSt, post: 1809276, member: 748616"] Interesting. Appreciate the detailed explanation! Not doubting you, Grue, but I'm just skeptical I guess, that after over 100 years of playing the game, this hasn't caught on. I mean there are plenty of unorthodox pitching techniques in baseball or swings in golf that go against the status quo but people still use them. Not sure why basketball players are more concerned about defying common convention. But hey, if Dain can do it and hit 70% or even 60, then I'd love to see it. There is probably an alternate universe where 50 years from now all basketball players use the granny shot because Dain Dainja popularized it after carrying Illinois to its first NCAA championship.
