    Gilbert: "100,000 shots in 73 days"

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Right now I?m in the middle of making 100,000 shots over 73 days. It?s a little mini-series I do. Right now I?m shooting 69.7 percent from the three-point line and I?m shooting 79.3 percent, I think, from the college three. There?s three people that rebound and tally my makes and misses. One kid is Jared, he?s a ball boy and there?s also Drew Cleary, our strength coach, and Brian Chase. He?s actually trying to make the team and doing it with me.

    I came up with this idea because of this kid Mike. He?s a shooter that went to my high school and broke some of my records, and this is what he just finished doing. So we do these little challenges because he thinks he can shoot better than me. He knows mentally he can?t beat me, but I have to say he did shoot 85 percent from the college three-point line. I think that?s pretty good.

    I know people will look at the 69 percent from the NBA three for me and be like, ?Oh, that?s nothing,? but when you?re shooting 5,000 shots a day, believe me, that?s pretty good. </div>

    Gotta love his work ethic. A lot of guys right now would've been chilling and enjoying their vacation, but Gilbert always means business when it comes to working. Hopefully this all just means that his field goal percentage increases and he becomes deadly beyond the 3 point line.

    This is completely crazy, but this is what we've come to know Gil for. He finds motivation in people's doubt. If there's someone who will be able to do this it's Gilbert.

    He is really driven to be the best player in the NBA. I bet next season will be huge for him. If he could get his assists up a little he could be the premeier gaurd in the league

    I think he is a premiere guard in the league. His game isn't dishing out dimes, his game is being a scorer. He is one of the best in the league.

    I love the kids work ethic!

    That's good stuff, 100,000 shots in 73 days comes out to 1370 shots a day on average. Maybe I'll attempt to take 1370 shots a day, though I don't think I have the time for that though lol. When I learnt to shoot I was doing 1000, and with no rebounders, so that took a good amount of time.
