i did not take a single shot created by myself on sunday, but when i was shooting around with brian waiting for other people to show up, there was this one shot off of the low post i was practicing which made me almost say to myself later "i can't seriously be making this shot at a ridiculous high rate; i must be cheating." (and i was seriously missing everything the way i usually do) what was it? a: pivot into the paint, then a banking turnaround fadeaway. while my hook shots are bad overall, my right hook shot just has no control whatsoever, so i was struggling to figure out what i should go for as a money move on the left block. but then i remembered sheed never took hook shots, but instead fadeaways whenever he turned around into the paint. one thing led to another, you get the drill. it's just that i discovered on sunday that if you try to bank that shot instead of going for a swish, it's so much easier (and actually still looks nice, because the bank is so soft, not hard). but i never posted up on sunday, so i won't know if it was just a miraculous practice juke or not.
