That's my point though friend. The phrase "being caught flat footed" or "catching it flat footed" does not describe the same thing as "catch and shoot". Catch and shoot refers to a player catching the ball on the perimeter, with his body squared to the basket, ready to shoot. I totally believe that statistic. There…

I'm aware of what an ellipsis is, and I'm also aware of when it's used to take something out of context in order to manipulate the original sentence.
Coming from the moron who said he shuffled both his feet which would A) be a walk and B) he doesn't do. I'll take your snippy sentence as an admission that the only basketball you've ever played was on XBOX. Cheers.
LOL your ... leaves out the most important part of the sentence. Nice try. The implication is not that he was shooting flat footed you dumbass. It was how he received the ball, hence the fact that the OP talked about how he wasn't coming around a screen or walking into the shot. He's specifically talking about what KK…
His left foot (pivot foot) never moves. Of course he took a mini step into the shot. The only time I've ever seen someone catch a ball and not use their opposite pivot foot to move towards the basket with their form is in 5-6 year old rec leagues. This doesn't negate the difficulty of this shot. It is wildly…
I feel like a sucker for replying to this but I feel compelled for some reason. The term "flat-footed", when used in basketball, predominately refers to a player catching the ball while standing still. If you ever played the game at a high level, you would know this. You would also know that it's much more difficult…
I hate to tell you this, but it's pretty clear you have never played basketball on a competitive level. If you had, you would know that the phrase "flat-footed" refers to KK catching the ball flat-footed. It's a common phrase used in the game to indicate that the player catches the ball standing still as opposed to…
Pretty sure a manager benching his best player for conduct he didn't like is not the result of a columnist reading into anything. Pretty sure a managing benching his best player for conduct he didn't like suggests that the player had conduct the manager didn't like. That not withstanding, let me grab the comment I…
That's why I said the reports seemed to suggest he wasn't a fan of Puig as a person. Every manager would love Puig the baseball player. I don't think I've heard anyone say anything negative about his baseball skills. But I have heard and read some rumblings about him as a person...
LOL. What do you expect Mattingly to say? He hates Puig and hopes he gets cut? Please don't tell me you are that naive. There have been numerous "sources" and odd "reports" that have popped up over the last year that seems to suggest Mattingly is not a huge fan of Puig as a person. He's probably somewhere in the…
My wife wanted a big wedding. Her parents did too. They looked at it as a big party to celebrate new beginnings. It was an incredible night. My wife, nor her family, is insecure. They had the means, the funds, and the desire to have a big wedding so they did it.
I'm only an uncle at this point in my life, and Christ, birthday parties for kids are the worst. Showing up to one of those gym things is the most potent form of birth control that exists.
Thanks for posting this.
We're not sure if he's being sincere? I realize Deadspin is on a mission to throw stones at anyone who says anything negative about Sherman, but give me a break. Everyone who is not blinded by this situation knows there was nothing sincere about his reactions as Crabtree was walking off the field. I do have to give…
Where did this poster say anything about the color of his skin? I'm pretty sure he just said he's arrogant and his arrogance doesn't match his talent, in his opinion. You guys are such trolls when it comes to certain topics.
Totally agree. It helps that he's on the West Coast, which typically means limited press exposure to the East Coast, and as a result, a lot of people on the East Coast have yet to see how he is such a huge D-Bag.
If Rodriguez's PED regimen was undetectable, why have four of Bosch's clients tested positive?
If they look down upon kids that choose to follow Euro leagues and pretend that somehow they are better people because they follow the more "prestigious" basketball league...then yes, they would be intolerable as well.
Oh, that's brutal. I thought you meant just normal bitching. Crap, at least we have the decency to throw our QB or coach under the bus during losing seasons.
