I Failed...
what move is that?

[SevereUpInHere]

Leaving your shooting hand extended in the air when throwing paper into a bin, regardless of whether the shot goes in or not.

[Mrofir]

very guilty....I spent months trying to get that move down.....


I Failed...

yeah me too. Problem is if you put the ball around ur back the long way, then more or less spin in a circle, you end up in the same place you were in before and the defender, best case scenario just doesnt know wtf ur doing, worst case, theyre halfway down the court with ball in hand

[Mrofir]

what move is that?


round the back across body, reaching so to carry the ball round to the other side


if you go round your body right hand to left side, you want the ball to come back on the right... this process is aided by a ridiculous spin move that gets u nowhere but helps you lose track of the ball

[d.bball.guy]

High five the air 4 times if you made a freethrow, Gary Neal style?

[Boston C's]

Johan Petro and Brian Scalabrine would be the greatest frontcourt since Tim Duncan and David Robinson

oh oh got one

you've adopted the bizarre free throw ritual of one of your favorite players


For me, its the KJ right hand to temple sweat lubricant move. To this day I still shoot FTs like that.

That doesn't make you a hardcore basketball fan. That makes you gamer. Anyone with any type of skill to this game, will tell you so much of basketball is mental, and repetitive motion to create muscle memory. Some people refer to that as " basketball talent".

I mean listen to what John Wall said



John Wall has been working hard on improving his game this offseason, but he has even been practicing while simply walking down the street.

“I know it sounds a little crazy, but I’ll just be walking down the street and, out of nowhere, I’ll hit someone with an in-and-out move without having a ball," said Wall. "I scare them because they don’t know what in the world I’m doing, but I think this game through so much that it just comes out anywhere.

“Basketball is so mental and with me being a point guard it’s all about reaction. How are you going to react to any given situation? So I might be walking and see someone in front of me and do a crossover motion or I might spin.

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/215889/John_Wall_Working_On_Game_While_Walking_Down_Stree t#ixzz1a4zxmTZK




What makes you a hardcore fan, is using f****** PER as your argument. Or having legit top 10 list already thought out. Not visualizing a game that is based on repetitive motion. I mean shyt if you can't do something without a ball, how you expect to do it with a ball.

[clipps]

96. after shooting a 3 pointer in a pickup up game you raise your finger in the air and start to walk away before the ball goes in

[SwayDizzle]

when you don't leave the bball court until you've scored your last 3-pointer for the session...

[clipps]

You tell yourself that you are shooting a do-or-die 30 footer and if you make it, everything good will happen to you in the near future, you miss and you do it again because you were "close"

[clipps]

You've gone to the low baskets at an elementary school and pretended you were in a Dunk contest and have attempted the freethrow line dunk many times and felt like King shit when you finally got it.

Pharmacy Technician employment possibilities are abundant.

Desire rather powerful for the subsequent 5-ten ages because the newborn boomer era is getting into the stage of their lives in which they are a lot more possible to use prescriptions.
