    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting TmacGarnett:</div><div class="quote_post">in all respects i dont think you have ever watched a rockets game
    getting yao the problem is not the problem. He gets into foul trouble easily is the problem. Another problem was with francis he would barley get the ball b/c of his shoot first style and with the rockets him recieving the ball has increased but when you have players like tmac that are phenominal yao will not get the ball alot but when he does he makes it more than half the time. yao is inconsistent on rebounds but not on pts

    EDIT: im not saying yao never gets the ball because i saw alot of the games tmac would just give it to yao b/c yao couldnt be stopped

    eg. game 2 and 5 of playoffs, rockets versus raptors</div>

    I have never watched a Rockets game? Because I stated in the previous post that Yao would not get the ball because he is often in foul trouble, and you say the same in your next post! Previously you said team deny Yao the basketball, how does this work? Dominant big men like JO, KG, TD and others do not have trouble getting the basketball! Yao does get the ball often but your excuses to why he does not are VERY similar to mine. I do not watch the Rockets!!? [​IMG]

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting TmacGarnett:</div><div class="quote_post">Haha...wow I didn't think you could be so stupid. A dunk and a lay up is considered a shot, but when talking about inconsistency field goal percentage has nothing to do with it</div>
    I know........However, let revist what you previously said.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting TmacGarnett:</div><div class="quote_post">HAHAHA Shaq doesn't shoot the ball at all. The only thing close to a shot for him is his hook. </div>
    Lesson one, whether Shaq dunks, lays up, hooks, or anything, it's still considered a "shot". That's why they call it a "dunk shot" and a "hook shot" (and you said i was the stupid one). Okay. Lesson 2, Shaq does shoot the ball, and quite a bit. It just happens so to be that his "shots" are high percentage. Maybe you should go in the basketball dictionary and look up the word "shot", I'm getting tired of teaching.

    You said, "To me, shooting consistently terrible, is inconsistent, period. He's a inconsistent shooter, but consistent scorer. OKAY. I think I've done enough teaching for the day." Iverson keeps up his shooting percentage around .411 ish percent. Some days his percentage might go down, but thats understandable, everyone has bad nights. It doesn't make sense. Shooting consistently terrible means your shooting inconsistent? Bull.

    Never heard of a layup shot or dunk shot though...

    Alright, lets play this your way then. Because Shaq throws up hook shots, it means he's a good shooter? If you stay down in the post throwing up layups, I really wouldn't consider you a shooter. His stats show he is an effective player, but I don't think it means he's a good shooter. You sort of dodged the question last time.

    A "dunk shot" is one of the oldest terms in basketball. You didn't know that?

    Read it on a play by play thing, but its a stupid term to me. On a side note, apparently, that's the best rebuttal you can give me. I actually expected better from you.

    It wasn't a rebuttal, it was a little "teaching session" I've been forced to have with you guys. How can I have a debate on basketball with you, if you don't even know what a "dunk shot" is? Or better yet, that technically a lay up counts as a shot? I thought they taught you that in 1st grade gym class.

    Rock4life, the point is that when you debate you rarely answer a persons entire post. You tend to point out one point of 5 and choose to pick it apart, and then mock the person.

    Everyone knows that a dunk is technically considered a attempted field goal(shot)... However no one uses the terminology "dunk shot".

    Your guilty of what your telling me I'm guilty of, and that's not reading the posts. Anxballer said asked me if "I actually consider a lay up a shot". What kind of question is that?

    OK

    A SHOOTER(a person who SHOOTS the ball, not a layup or dunk) is different than a PENETRATOR(a person who penetrates and drives and makes a layup)

    Layup and a jump shot are two complete different things. They share no same technique whatsoever. They're different. Look at Steve Kerr or Kyle Korver...they're amazing shooters..but have you ever seen them drive and make a layup? No. Because they don't have the ability to penetrate and finish with all the 7 footers trying to swat their layup attempts.

    The reason why a layup is considered a shot is because the player is making an attempt to score 2 points, obviously same as a "jump shot".

    Everybody in here knows that Shaq isn't a shooter, have you ever heard of any ESPN commentators go "WOW, Shaq is SUCH a good shooter he is lighting this place up!!!" Of course not because he's not a shooter.

    I don't think you understood my point. I know Shaq ain't a shooter. But technically, he's the best "shooter" in the league being that he hits a higher% of his "shots". Iverson, however, is a terrible shooter. He's the definition of hot and cold.

    Has anyone even mentioned Jamal Crawford? With the Bulls, he was the epitome of inconsistency. And I haven't seen much of him in NY, but I'm gonna assume he was almost if not as consistent as he was with us. Some of it could be blamed on what position he's playing. He's stated he thinks he's a scoring pointguard, rather than a 2, but I don't think that's accurate because with Chicago whenever he played PG the offense didn't flow very well. HE himself may flourish at that spot, but the team doesn't. I think he's best suited for a bench role as a 6th man, he can be a very good scorer.
