Funny pics of the guys (even Beau Gerber!) dunking on the undersized rim. :ez-laugh:

Nick Thompson sighting!

Pic 11 shows why Blair shoots awful from 3. His form is all crooked.

Hey hey... I've played on that rim before... It's harder than it looks...The way our team shot the ball during some games this year, ie @ Taco Tech, i'm shocked they made it lol....

Huh?

Huh?

Did I say something wrong or are you attempting to disagree?

Blair's right arm is not where it should be. I'm not going to argue about it, it's true.

Where should it be, in your opinion? More vertical? Just curious.

Draw a line from your knee to your elbow...that line should be perfectly straight (or as close to it as you can get). Really, you want your whole shooting arm to be perfectly straight with your shooting (plant) leg. Blair's arm is not straight and is too inverted close to his head. Some guys like Reggie Miller can get away with that. A guy like Blair needs to straighten his arm and move it farther to the right to get more symmetrical, balanced jump/3 pt shot. Basically, his release/hand is way too close to being parallel to his head...that's not a good form.

That's just how it looks it that pic though. In real time, it isn't as bad.
