[QUOTE="WyattEarp, post: 1809364, member: 748573"] I saw this a while back. Thanks for putting it up. I think the best quote(s)in the whole thing is this: Rick Barry: “I appreciate that he once tried to shoot underhand but his technique sucked…. Rick Barry: “How do you not try ANYTHING to get better?” That last one says it all doesn’t it? I don’t get the Wilts and Shaqs of the world that that are too cool for school. They feel like they don’t wanna look foolish….Right. Like bricks and air balls don’t? Lol. I don’t get it at all. If I was that epically bad as Shaq or Wilt shooting freebies. …I would try anything. AND I just don’t get worrying about what other people think to that extent. I would stand on my head and shoot if ‘em if it worked that well. (Especially if it was backed by science.) I really don’t get the stigma against a technique that this guy made into near perfection. It’s weird how it hasn’t caught on more really. Besides Rick wasn’t exactly Grandma Moses out there…this was a guy that helped revolutionize the traditional jumpshot. That probably looked dumb to someone too at one time too, right? [/QUOTE]
