Reggie Miller. Step Back Shot Origins. NBA
“It was a big part of my offensive repertoire. I kinda adopted it from Kiki Vandeweghe from UCLA. He taught me the step back jump shot. It’s been around forever, because you can clear space. But if you look at James Harden, his step back is more of a side step, than a true step back. Very…
Daddy Knows Best: NBA Father-Son Duos
Which NBA father and son would be the best? If the most successful father-son duos in league history played a type of round robin affair against each other, here’s how they might finish, from worst to first: #8. One reason the Dunleavys are seventh/last on this list is because it’s so hard to find…
Underrated All-Stars: Mark Price, NBA
Saying that someone is a “Point GOD” is a way of saying that he is very good at playing the point guard position. I don’t know why you’re bringing God into this basketball stuff.

NBA 2K16-5: Roanoke Railguns, The Dregs
a season of association… We knew Dennis Rodman was twisted and perverted, but this is ridiculous. The Philadelphia Sixers came to Roanoke to play the Railguns. Their lineup looks a bit sick, and not in the way the world means ‘sick’… we mean, ill, and not very good at all. Sloppy game on both sides….
Steph Curry : The ‘modest superstar’ oxymoron
The name that most often comes to mind when Steph Curry is mentioned, at least for me, is “Eddie Haskell.” Remember Eddie Haskell, the character from the “Leave it to Beaver” television show? Basically, Eddie was a slick bully and habitual liar. He would glad-hand the main characters’ parents, then turn fierce when the adults…
NBA Basketball: The three-point cult
There is this weird push and pull between the young and the old. Not necessarily straight down the line. It is not necessarily, all old people vs. all younger people. But the divide between those who think that EVERYTHING old is bad, and those who think EVERYTHING new is bad, does exist. I heard a…
