Bank 3's

[NWADawg]

Is it just me or do teams seem to hit a lot of lucky bank 3's against us?

It may not be luck. Back in the day UCLA under John Wooden, mostly shot bank shots, by design.
Alcindor, Walton, Wicks, etc.

Not yet, but I'm working on it.
Most of their shots were bank shots.

It's just you.

 

[Shmuley]

Maybe we should try some bank free throws.

Unless Larry Bird is shooting it, it was luck

Of course it's luck. They are all atrocious shots that are so far off that they bank in.
Nobody is trying to bank a 3 from straight on, much less from the corner.

Never forget DJ Jeffries corner bank 3 at the Pavilion 2 years ago to ice it in overtime

Damn, talk about a stupid take. I’m sure the majority of layups a d close shots are still banked, because, well, duh. But 3s? Geez, fella.

Wooden taught players to use the backboard/glass from the wings and within 4-6 feet of the goal. He never taught anyone to bank a shot for the top of the key like we have been watching by our opponents.

In fairness, we've had our share of them as well.

We need to start shooting granny shots from the line. Rick (90% accuracy) Berry says hello.

I think someone needs a life coach. How bout we change your response to something like:

"Well, could I point out what may be a flaw in your take? I'm sure the majority of layups a d (OOPS!) close shots are still banked, because, well, that's the easiest way to make those shots. Is that the case with 3's? I don't think so, kind sir."
