She was red hot out their though and it had nothing to do with her being “chick”. What a phenomenal performance!
Great run of shooting from a phenomenal player and as a Duck alum I'm a big fan. But... comparing the WNBA and NBA 3 point contests isn't apples to apples so I don't know why this commenter is making the comparison let alone getting so defensive about it. The WNBA 3 point line is from a shorter distance & of course they also use a smaller ball, both of which makes it easier to make shots. It's not being misogynistic to recognize the differences... it's possible to do so and still appreciate the accomplishment. STOMP
2 freakin' misses? That is unbelievable! For that setup, it may never be broken. I hope shooting greats like Bird (if he does Twitter) Reggie, Steph, and 3-pt contest legend Craig Hodges, pay her respect.
holy crap!!! That was beyond impressive!!! it does get me thinking though. Is it only a matter of time before we see a perfect round? I heard the commentator say she has 26 in the previous round, which is good as well. That was awesome regardless!
The Blazers should sign her; she's got the hometown crowd and is exciting as hell to watch. We're not trying to win a championship this year, and I always wanted the Blazers to be the first to put a woman on the court in the regular season.
It's cool what she did, and far better than I could do if I practiced every day for 50 weeks straight, but I saw a comment on one of the videos saying they should invite her into the NBA 3 point contest. Now besides the fact they don't need to "compete against men" to make what they do valid, the WNBA 3 point shot is closer than the NBA three point line (cept from the corners are all the same distance) and even that extra 2o" makes a difference in shot percentages. Not saying she'd go from 25-27 to like 10-27, but it's not the same distance. If the NBA three point line was 22 feet all around, their %'s would go up, as iirc, the %'s went up when the NBA (foolishly) shortened the 3 point line back in wheneverthehellthatwas.
not that the average NBA player went 25 for 27 in that era either. Maybe we could check Reggie Miller’s percentage shift during that era to see how an elite bomber would perform at both distances.
Who gives a fuck if the line is closer. It was an historic display of deadly accuracy. Dipped in badassery.
