I was just listening to the radio on my way home from the gym and Brad Rock was the guest. Hother guys in the draft can practice their shooting,e said "if you're the Jazz, don't take Jimmer at #12, because these they can work on that, AND they can play defense." So, what he's saying is that you can practice shooting, but you can't practice defense, moron.

Yes this obviously worked so well with Shaq's free throw shooting, or Barkley's golf swing!!

What's easier to fix with practice? Shooting or defensive effort?

Hmmm...many extra hours in the gym or simply try harder, that's a toughie...

Gee, if it's that easy to become an elite shooter, why doesn't every team just practice some more and then everyone could rain down threes from Jimmer range.

That's just completely retarded. How hard is it to google "nba draft combine 2011 measurements" to find that Jimmer is 6' 2.5"?



I guess, technically, he's only 6' 0.75" without shoes. It's a good thing wearing shoes is a common practice among NBA players

After all the press and publicity that Jimmer got, guys like Bomani have to be willfully ignorant, they have to try to avoid seeing Jimmer play or at least Jimmer highlights and look the other way when his stats are shown.
