    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting MiamiHerald.com:</div><div class="quote_post">How determined is Heat power forward Udonis Haslem to improve his jump shot? Haslem has been shooting 1,000 a day, at least five days a week, and makes 250 three-pointers before leaving the court. If Haslem can extend his range, that would give the Heat a chance to play four three-point shooters around Shaquille O'Neal.</div>It's good to see Haslem improving his shooting skillz :mrgreen::thumbsup:

    Wow [​IMG]

    Shaq surrounded by 4 good 3 PT shooters is a nasty thing in deed. Also having a power forwar with some nice range is a great thing to have. Udonis Haslem is a very hard working determined man and will do what it takes if it's best for the team. Only about a handfull of power forwards can shoot 3s and the only one that even springs to mind is Kevin Garnett and hes an MVP. A expect a break out year for Udoins Haslme where he will average a double double.

    Walker is barely a PF, he plays liek a SG... he just sits around the 3 point line waiting for passes and takes the open 3 pointer and usually clanks it...

    Haslem is goign to be a sick player, I wish he was taller though. If he was 6'10 he'd dominate so badly.

    Drobnjak can shoot 3's and he's a 4,

    Pat Garrity too, Nowitzki, Gooden, Horry, Webber in his prime, Cliff Robinson, AK47, Chris Crawford, Walta McCarthy, etc

    This will be a great asset to Udonis Haslem's game, if he accomplish's this and becomes atleast a 30%3PT shooter then he's going to be great he'll be able to play inside and out. Haslem is determined to be good, I can see him making the allstar team in the next 2-3 years.

    250 three pointers before leaving the court each day? That's like Reggie Miller's training regimine [​IMG].

    Yeah if Udonis can give us 80-100 threes whole season next year and years to come..... who knows maybe he'll become something close to Charles Barkley. Not that tall but a rebounding machine with the ability to shoot outside jumpers.

    I just love hearing about things like this. NBA players who aren't so good that put a real effort into improving their game. It's just beautiful.

    I think it's even better when NBA players who are good go out of their way to get even better, Michael Redd and Gilbert Arenas, that's good when that happens.

    Can't forget Bibby either og, he's always workin hard every offseason...

    I hope Haslem has a great year. I can see him getting at least 10 and 10 if he gets the starting position and gains starting minutes.
