shaq to the Cavs

These are getting funny. I shouldn't speak for Cannon, but I think what he is saying is if you are open by 3 feet or open by 12 feet it is the same thing...you are still open. BAsically, if you're in rhythm, without blanket coverage and a hand 0.25 inches from your eyeballs, you're open.

If you are Glen Rice or Ray Allen and you only need an inch, I agree. For the vast majority of guys though, I completely disagree.

Do you really see a lot of guys taking heavily contested, covered like a blanket three pointers in a NBA game? I don't. I rarely see heavily contested 3 pointers unless it's a shot clock emergency.

Still if you watch those guys in warmups they will hit 80% from that same distance. It isn't just having a hand in your face, it is how quickly you have to release the shot.

Again why are you assuming that guys are going to start taking contested threes?

Here is an example of a typical NBA players three point shooting % on a yearly basis

John Salmons
year 1- .323
year 2- .340
year 3- .341
year 4- .299
year 5- .357
year 6- .325
year 7 -.417

See the wide variance? No superstars to account for the rise or dips unless you count his first 4 years with AI which he shot worse than without him the next three.
