    How was that upset clearly reading a few paragraphs was too much for him so I offered to dumb down my posting for him. Just trying to make my post accessible to everyone.

    After seeing the kind of messages posted on this thread I fully understand why so many 9th graders come to my class unable to read

    I assumed he meant he was a 9th-grade student, yah. Just as that is his class, this is now his board.

    It's The Truth!!

    Gee I thought you found another board to clutter up, oh well I guess maybe one day you by staying here and reading my threads, I can finally teach you what a good high percentage basketball shot looks like.

    Hint its not a 20 foot jumper and that's the TRUTH.

    Personally I'm thrilled basketball players can shoot jump shots after the era of only slam dunk-free throw scoring. As to 20ft jumpers, don't tell that to Dirk, Mark Price, Michael Jordan, LaMarcus, Jerry West, Pistol Pete (well he's not around now) or Larry Bird. The list goes on. It's a skillset that was disappearing in favor of the slam dunk. Time will prove that these pure shooters will have longer, more productive careers than the highlight reel guys. If you don't like that style of play, that's a choice you make but it's not basketball truth by any stretch, it's opinion. Nothing was more boring than watching a finals game with Shaq shooting free throws for 10 minutes at the end of the fourth qtr.

    You said you teach 9th-graders English. Did I read that earlier?

    Anyhow, eblazer gave you many stats on what a guarded shot at the rim looks like versus a mid-range shot. You chose to disregard his stats, and you still clutter the board with nonsensical posts. If you're really a 9th-grade English teacher ... wow.

    Anthony Davis takes a lot of mid-range shots, too, in terms of a more recent 'big'.
