billiken_roy Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I agree! Not Many of you may know it but I have a Masters Degree in Anger Management and am board certified in anger therapy. The anger reflected in Billiken Roy's statements is extremely hurtful. Billiken Roy's "joke" about "throwing a ball" in Guy's direction is in fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for rape.

Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've found that throwing it overhand, like a football (think Lebron James), is more accurate than trying to shoot it or heave it with two hands from the waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wonder why no one does this. They usually shoot it like a long freethrow and end up falling way short..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I prefer shooting it like a normal shot- it's really not that difficult of a shot.... Agreed. Basketballs are too big to keep on line and accurate when you try to chuck them like a football instead of just using your legs more and bringing your arms down just a little extra. I wouldn't bring the ball down to my waist, though, or bring it too far down on my side; people underrate the strength you get from the legs. I don't know, maybe I can't throw it football-style very well because I have small hands. I guess everyone has a different technique.

Isn't there some dude with a microphone who is right by you during the shoot? How about leaning in to the mic and giving a KM and WR shout out to the crowd? Pretty gutsy move, but it would be cool.

They usually shoot it like a long freethrow and end up falling way short.....because unless you're a total *****, a regular shove-it shot from the opposite free throw line shouldn't even be that hard. i probably can't bench my own weight, but i can throw a basketball over them mountains. i want to gotdamn smack those clowns that throw up airballs during the shot for cash...

Pistol Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 My original point was that I don't see how throwing a basketball like a football is somehow more accurate than shooting it like a basketball. If it were, basketball players would do it. If this style works better for you, then you were never very good at shooting a basketball in the first place.

Ive also noticed you can always tell if the shooter has a chance before the shot. If they are dribbling the ball before taking the shot it means they have played ball before and have a chance. If they hold onto the ball without ever dribbling it an air ball is about to be launched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I airball it, I encourage everyone to boo me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
