President Obama recently sat down with ESPN and said the NCAA should reduce the shot clock for basketball games. Then he said, 'And while we're at it, is there any way they can reduce the 'being president clock?'
With that corner 3, it's the highest percentage shot in the game.
If you see the NBA now, a lot of it is in transition. Most people now try to get an easy shot off in six or eight seconds before the defense gets set.
It's tough for a jump shooter, especially in a triangle offense.
A lot of guys, when the ball is coming, sit there and look at the clock; then it makes you rush your shot.
A couple teams will grind the shot clock down. Most of the time coaches do that, it's usually a talent deficit. They can't compete against the better teams.
Guard some point guards, late shot clock, hopefully they miss.
Where I'm from, we don't take shots over two guys. When someone is doubled, it's the next man's job to take the shot and make it.
There are incredible decisions made in a 48-minute game with a 24-second shot clock and the last two minutes of a game.
There weren't many plays for me. A lot of my stats came off broken plays, or when I didn't allow the options to play out and just took the shot.
Reading what a good shot is, based on time and score of the game, based on the shot clock, based on my position - there's a lot of things that go into it. It's a lot of things that you think about based on when to shoot it or when not to.
Street basketball is all about shakes and fakes, crossing your defender up. The NBA is more strategic.
Eight minutes is a long time in basketball.
