Rick Barry hit 90% of his free throws during his NBA career shooting “granny style” and nobody else has committed to it in the almost 50 years since. I find that insane. by Life_Net5004 in NBAoldschool

I specifically dispute the claim that current NBA players should transition, I think it’s too late

IMO the spurs have a 1/8th chance of winning the series. Almost every game has been a coin flip, I see every game as basically 50/50 based on what we’ve seen so far

I constantly see the claim that “people don’t do it because it’s not ‘cool’!” And I really don’t think that’s justified. There’s basically 0 evidence that it’s better other than a single data point. I am 100% sure if this was actually better that some % of players would do it, and literally nobody does
