Review: 3 Pointers

Behind the slam dunk, the flagrant foul, the mismatched jump ball, the dog loose on the court, and the through the back pass-- the 3 pointer is the most exciting part of a basketball game. Gamewise: it stretches defenses, and is worth more points. Worldwise: it has given us Dale Ellis, , Tim Legler and taller Tim Legler Jason Kapono. Sure, Reggie Miller and Jeff Hornacek (only those 2 ever) shot a lot of threes and it was just a deadly aspect to their all around game, and added to their legend. 3 pointers probably gave us 2 extra seasons of Tracy Murray, and it continues to make us think LeBron James has a weakness. Dirk shot the 3 at first, but now has become the prototype of how the 3 can help launch ones career. Dennis Scott tried, goodness he tried, but his vertical stripes still made him look fat. I also could've said Peja Stojakovic but he seems nice. Rex Chapman turned out to be white, so he shot the 3 just to help us not be so confused as to him as to this sentence. In college, the 3 is something everyone should try- you know see if you like it... experiment a little bit, see why Sam Perkins late in his career looked like Bob Marley late in his career. So in this review of 3 pointers, I would just like to say- if they are made- they are awesome, or they are piling on the score- which is also awesome but in a mean spirited way. If they miss that means guards get rebounds more, and those guys always push the ball. So I guess there is nothing wrong with 3 pointers. Unless you're Jerry West and they haven't been invented yet and instead of winning the game you just send it to overtime and lose. They do show that shot a lot. It wasn't a three though. I really just wrote this to say NBA players names. Cool? Cool.
