He doesn't go around blind folding himself because a) that's retarded, he wouldn't be able to see the hoop he's shooting at so what would be the point and b) he can accomplish this task by just looking straight ahead or at the basket the whole time without looking down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-6004217459685326612014-06-19T06:51:33.767-07:002014-06-19T06:51:33.767-07:00He treats 3-pointers like tennis players treat the...He treats 3-pointers like tennis players treat their serves, golfers treat their swings and pitchers treat their delivery — quick jump, quick release, perfect form, line drive, bang. <br /> <br /><br />I KNOW WHAT HE'S TRYING TO SAY (MAYBE?), BUT WHAT HE'S SAYING IS THAT TENNIS PLAYERS, GOLFERS, AND PITCHERS FOCUS ON QUICK JUMPS, QUICK RELEASES, PERFECT FORM, AND LINE DRIVES. OTHER THAN PERFECT FORM, SG IS COMPLETELY WRONG. PLEASE PROCEED, GOVERNOR.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Every shot looks the same. Watch Ray long enough and you instinctively realize when he’s heating up, when he’s shooting from a spot he likes, and when he’s thrust into a situation that — even if it seems chaotic — happens to be perfect for Ray Allen and Ray Allen only.<br /> <br />IF EVERY SHOT LOOKS THE SAME, HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY TELL WHEN HE'S HEATING UP?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
