NAW's only weakness was shooting

[Saint Cy of JFC]

A breakaway rim may absorb some of the energy of a descending rainbow shot, while a line drive shot from the middle of the floor just skips off the rim and bounces hard off the backboard. That's what I'm saying

There's an optimal angle. NAW does not shoot at the optimal angle. Shooting both below or above that angle will result in harder misses.

I'm sure you are right... but when I shoot a 10 foot shot normally it goes in a lot... when I shoot a 10 foot floater it goes in less #maths

I also just don't remember a lot of great shooters that put the ball up that high. There have been a few of course.

Sounds like you need to work on your floater then.

Ha... I just quit shooting it.

This is true if it hits directly on the front rim. Occasionally if it hits right on the back rim as well. You won’t get friendly rolls but you can get shots that hit the rim go straight up and go in.

Im a pretty great shooter. I cant get the damn floater down though. I gave up as well.

Okur's arc was up there. Boozer had a huge arc.

Pullup threes are worth more and more fun... if I'm gonna shoot a bad shot that is my go to.

I think Memo was likely close to ideal... forgot about Booze... that **** scraped the damn ceiling.

If you drop the same ball from 6 feet and from 7 feet, the ball dropped from 7 feet will have a higher bounce because of gravity.

However, the balls with less arc will have greater horizontal velocity. Minimal overall velocity comes approximately at a 32-degree arc.

Pull-up threes on 1-on-1 fast break are my favorite.

Yes, there is a sweet spot. Too much arc equals more generated velocity due to gravity, too little arc means too much exit velocity.

Boozer had some shots that looked like it didn’t even hit net when they went through lol.

Boozer is a great one. Did Booker shoot it pretty high too? (hard to remember as it seems like he didn't shoot from the outside much or at all)
