  1. The airball is whatever. That atrocious shooting form is the problem. Good lord, the dude brings up the ball like he's gonna shoot with his right but then proceeds to switch the ball to his left hand before flicking his wrist to his left. And surprise… he airballs it to the left of the rim.

    He wants to shoot with the wrong hand then fine… but there is no excuse for that wrist flicking. This dude is having a spasm when he shoots the ball.

  2. Durant will start to care if Simmons shoot 10 times and make 1 shot every game.
    Simmons doesn't shoot because he knows he'll miss, he doesn't work on his game.
    Why don't we just look at the problem?

  3. Most expensive role player in the NBA, lol. So if Simmons is guarding a 5, then I guess Claxton would be on the bench because you're not putting KD on the 3 and Claxton on the 4 on D. If Simmons is guarding a 1 or 2, then you're not going to have Harris, Curry or Mills out there with Irving because one of those little guys would have to try to guard the 3. Simmons is a very versatile defender….but nobody else on Brooklyn is, so he can't really guard those others spots because there is nobody to switch up with him on D.

  4. You so called professionals are making fools of yourself. Cackling hyenas. Can we go find some vids of these people airballing practice shots and then make entire espn segments on each one? get some actual professionals ESPN.

  5. Pause at 0:09 and look how outward his shooting elbow is, his wrist should be aligned with his elbow, if you noticed, the ball lands where his elbow was aimed at….pause it at 0:09 and you'll see exactly the messed up mechanics at work

  6. That boy’s jumper is fundamentally flawed.
    He’ll never be a good shooter with that form. It doesn’t matter how many shots he puts up, that form won’t work.

  7. Can't believe nets traded harden for a mentally soft dude who can't shoot outside of 10 ft. They could've traded harden for literally anybody else.
