If your best player(s) is a jump shooter you aren't winning

[retaxis]

A CHampionship

Thats why Rose won't win, Thats why Curry won't win and thats why Westbrook won't win.

Last time a Jump shooter won a championship was when? When Spurs won with TP against Lebron with a Prime Tim Duncan and Manu who all could have been FMVP or more deserving of? When Billups won when Rasheed, Rip and Tayshuan all contributed as much if not more?

Exactly jump shooters as your best player (not one of your best players but your best player) don't win championships. EVER.

[JerrySeinfeld]

westbrook was a jump shooter under brooks but i see him as more of a slasher in an actual offense

[Harison]

Dirk is jumpshooter, KG and Kobe to some extent as well :confusedshrug:

Curry can (and should ) win it this year either.

[Genaro]

Kobe? Dirk? Celtics Big 3?

Stop overreacting the Warriors losing tonight.

[Bigsmoke]

Perkins must be the 08 Celtics best player then

[MP.Trey]

Yeah Kobe definitely gonna retire ringless

[Nick Young]

What about Dirk and Kobe?

[knicksman]

yup id rather have bran than jordan. I want to see a player given 10 ft to shoot but wont.:lol

[LA_Showtime]

All shooters jump when they shoot, you fruit loop.

Takes a special kind of person to think of these threads.

Dirk spends a shitload of time in the high post. Stop calling him a jump shooter.

He is primarily a jumpshooter. His go-to move out of the post is a fadeaway jump shot.

That's a POST UP MOVE. Thats called footwork out of the post. I guess Hakeem was a jump shooter too since his signature move was the DREAM SHAKE.

:ohwell:

Could anyone's basketball opinion possibly be more worthless than the OP's?

[konex]

Kobe is primarily a jumpshooter. He can drive and post up as well though :confusedshrug:

[G0ATbe]

Kobe?:biggums:

you need really good offensive rebounders if your best player is a jumpshooter.
game 7 2010 finals- pau gasol 18 total rebounds, 9 were just offensive rebounds.

Post up move that ended with a jump shot...Curry does his crossovers and hesitations too. Those are moves too with footwork.

Are you really implying that any of Parker, Duncan or Manu is a jump shooter?

The 2010 version of Kobe Bryant did most of his damage jump shooting. 2011 Dirk did most of his damage jump shooting. The 2014 Spurs offense was built around jump shooting.

i don't think kobe and dirk are just jumpshooters, they can obviously post up if they need to

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Dirk is the GOAT midrange shooter and Dallas elite offense for a decade has been built on that. OFC hes one of the greatest post players too but its mostly his shot that worries nikkas

Not that they can't post up if they need to, but jump shooting is what they are primarily known for - just like Parker scoring in the paint is his bread and butter - not jump shooting.
