I dont care what level of ball u playing whether its street, pro, collegiate, minor or highschool ..that mid range J is always killer if u can consistentely knock it down....
my long ball is streaky and If I dont play ball in a while my handles are questionable but that midrange has never left me since I got it down when I was like 17....all of the best perimeter scorers have a mid-range...its more reliable and needed than damn near any other skill set on offense

word to rip and ray allen
any player can develop it from the pg to the center (doesnt matter if ur 5'3 or 7'4) and be a problem...I dont understand why most players dont seem to care to develop it though -

? was unstoppable....kareems hookshot was pretty much his midrange j it worked the same -
Definitely a lost art. How you're good at the 3 ball but suck in the mid range? When I was watching the NBA in the late 80's and 90's if you were good at the 3 ball the mid range was automatic. Mitch Richmond, Steve Smith, Glen Rice, Reggie, e.t.c. This current era confuses me sometimes. Melo plays like he belongs in the 90s. The beginning of the season DeRozan was killing it in the mid range. More guys need to incorporate that into their games. The obsession with the 3 ball is weird and changed the game that you got Centers like Brook Lopez shooting it on the regular now.

This.
For the life of me I can't understand why a tall lanky 7-foot center who isn't very good wouldn't develop a hook shot.
Its the perfect shot. If you're 7 feet tall its absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to stop a hook shot. Even a 7-footer on defense can't stop a 7-footer's hook shot.
I can understand why guards and forwards don't develop a hook shot, it doesn't really work against centers. But if your 7-feet tall nobody can stop it. Even if you otherwise suck and aren't good at defense, a deadly hook shot is something every 7-footer should have in his arsenal. -
I miss that ? in today's game everyone wants to be a three point killer now

Crazy how that works...whatever current gaurd has the flashier game is what dictates how the youth plays 80s was magic,90s jordan early 2000s it was iversons dribble now its currys range -
Its crazy because it used to be that if you was a good three pointer shooter then you was a good mid range shooter first but nowadays, ? be three point shooters & be wack af from mid range

Detroit's Rip Hamilton

Man sho ya right. and ? be janky on that 3 pointer, I 've seen ? have a wide open jumper and step back for a 3, WtF

Disagree.. don't let your "old school" cloud your judgment -
leonard, melo, derozen, cp, paul george, kyrie, mccollum, thompson, durant, hayward after learning from kobe... who else? i know i'm missing a few that dont stand out. I can't think of no more than 15 that shoot well with the midrange and 3 ball. Use to easily name 30.

well then school me instead of being passive. i really had a hard time thinking about more than 15. i seriously think there were better and more efficient shooters then than there is now. the only difference to me is the attempts -
