Buried in the rundown of last night’s Miami Heat loss was the following gem, from the Sun-Sentinel’s beat writer, Ira Wilderman:
What If A ‘Shooter’ Can’t Shoot?
↵↵When does Daequan Cook officially go from “shooter” to “misser”?
↵↵Seems simple enough, but so, so perfect. I underwent a similar transition when I graduated high school. The shooting touch faded, and before you knew it, gone was the three-point “specialist”, and suddenly I was a “glue guy” with a beer belly and a smoking habit. And a “high basketball IQ,” of course. There are just so many different ways to describe mediocrity!
↵
And hey, this game’s fun. Let’s try it with some other NBA players:
↵↵When does Deshawn Stevenson stop being a “defensive stopper”, and start being “terrible” on both ends of the floor?
↵↵It applies to so many people:
↵↵When does Mo Williams go from “All-Star Mo Williams” to “man, wouldn’t it be cool if Lebron played with an all-star?”
↵↵And even teams:
↵↵When does Portland go from “up-and-coming” to “just not that great”?
↵↵Or how about Kevin Garnett?
↵
↵When does Kevin Garnett officially go from “fiery and intense” to “INSUFFERABLLLLEEEEE”?
↵
↵Okay, we should probably stop now. But man, this is fun. Thanks, Bullsblogger.
