[quote] Russell Westbrook:
You're like 2 months late:oldlol:
And I bet he's the only star in the league that's guilty of this. :rolleyes:
And I love Westbrook's answer. It fits his playing style and personality perfectly.
Swagbrooks steals the spotlight again

Reposting old shit?
Russ man, like a boss!

I love morons that come in being like "old news dude"! :lol I could not find a thread about it, that's exactly why I made one now. Idiot.
I find this shit so incredibly lame. Shame on these guys for caring so much about a meaningless stat like FG%. Once again Westbrook keeps it real. And Kendrick Perkins makes the most valid point.
To think of it, I don't see Kobe taking those shots either. LeBron also does them very rarely but a lot more often than Kobe & KD.
Old news, but I think this proves that those who think Kevin Durant could simply shoot more and score as much as Kobe ever did don't factor in mindset and in general, different ways their skill sets are best used and approach the game naturally. Durant will give you 28 ppg and do it more efficiently than Kobe can, but Kobe is much more likely to average 35, string together a stretch of 40-50 point games ect.
This is more interesting than the halfcourt thing, though.
[QUOTE]KD tracks his numbers in his head obsessively throughout games, down to turnovers, assists, what he’s shooting from the floor, rebounds and of course, points. I remember a game last season where Durant threw a half-oop, half-shot out of bounds. He came over to the scorekeeper and asked him if he had scored it a turnover or a shot attempt. The scorekeeper said turnover, to which Durant said, “Good, I’d rather have a turnover than a miss.”[/QUOTE]

Also, Kevin Martin's response is pretty funny. I'm surprised at the honesty of some of these players, but disappointed at their approach.

Durant probably drafts himself in fantasy :lol
[QUOTE=Heavincent]“It depends on what I’m shooting from the field. First quarter if I’m 4-for-4, I let it go. Third quarter if I’m like 10-for-16, or 10-for-17, I might let it go. But if I’m like 8-for-19, I’m going to go ahead and dribble one more second and let that buzzer go off and then throw it up there. So it depends on how the game’s going.”
:facepalm
“No. Nope … If I was considering about [statistics] I’d do a lot of shit different.”
:applause:[/QUOTE]
Durant wants in on that 50-40-90 club, must be careful. :)
Lebron will also kindof do this, he will not so often neglect half-court line and closer to the basket heaves though (he shoots those like a normal jumpshot), but more like full-court heaves, those he will most likely neglect unless the game depended on it, those are 3pt/fg% killer shots lol
There's something about Westbrook's comment that make me crack a smile and have a bit of admiration for him. I wish I had that attitude on the court. At the same time I hate his arrogance and love to see him lose.
