noticed a lot of guys shot with their feet parallel and at an angle these days, been giving it a shot and its very powerful, easy to generate some loft under the ol ball
― lag∞n, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:40 (seven years ago) link
what u mean
― k3vin k., Saturday, 17 December 2016 01:46 (seven years ago) link
ha yes that was not clear, feet parallel angled toward the shooters offhand side like 15 degrees, feel like a lot of ppl myself included shoot w the stronghand side foot at that angle but the weak foot is m/l pointing forward creating a pigeon toed stance, then there are also all sorts of more squared up 1-2 set ups with the strong foot well forward of the weak foot

im gonna need a graph and mockup
― Spottie, Saturday, 17 December 2016 02:29 (seven years ago) link
oh yeah squaring up is totally archaic at this point ime
― k3vin k., Saturday, 17 December 2016 02:43 (seven years ago) link
it's like closed forehand stance in tennis or elbow up in baseball, more of a low-level coaching cliche than anything that is actually useful
― k3vin k., Saturday, 17 December 2016 02:44 (seven years ago) link
it's cool if it works or keeps yr elbow in or something but idg why it would generate extra loft?
― mookieproof, Saturday, 17 December 2016 02:46 (seven years ago) link
it feels like yr generating torque through yr core but idk
http://i.imgur.com/oCQHlno.pngu cn see it this coach nick breakdown of stephs form, he calls the motion it generates "the turn"

its weird it doesnt seem like it shd work but then when u do it it feels really natural
― lag∞n, Saturday, 17 December 2016 03:50 (seven years ago) link
I see now. Love those coach nick breakdowns
― Spottie, Saturday, 17 December 2016 04:01 (seven years ago) link

― mookieproof, Saturday, 17 December 2016 04:02 (seven years ago) link

― lag∞n, Saturday, 17 December 2016 07:35 (seven years ago) link

i played basketball all the time in high school but then i broke my ankle and hadn't really since but i went last night to play w/ a bunch of guys and damn i do not remember it being so demanding - i've been exercising and stuff so i'm not totally out of shape but after the first 15 min game i was totally wiped out. i didn't do terribly - took two shots, missed both but took a foul on one of them. got 2 rebounds. guy i was covering didn't score, rebound or assist so that was good. but damn. i mean i guess it's good if i keep doing it i'll actually get into better shape but it's not like i remember being in particularly good shape in high school. it's like my entire body has basketball atrophied.

yea my first time back after not playing for years was rough. i was sore for days
― marcos, Thursday, 19 January 2017 19:58 (seven years ago) link
u old
― mookieproof, Thursday, 19 January 2017 20:00 (seven years ago) link
it's a totally different type of fitness than just like exercising on yr own
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 19 January 2017 20:00 (seven years ago) link
also my shot was never particularly good but now it's embarrassingly bad so i gotta practice that a bit
― Mordy, Thursday, 19 January 2017 20:03 (seven years ago) link
basketbtall is the best
― k3vin k., Thursday, 19 January 2017 20:23 (seven years ago) link
it is
i feel like if i could play once a week or a few times a month i would be in great shape
― marcos, Thursday, 19 January 2017 20:25 (seven years ago) link
cad otm, basketball shape is pretty different than normal shape. One thing I notice that gets sore after I play a lot is my shoulders/traps due to putting your arms up and down so much
― Spottie, Thursday, 19 January 2017 20:25 (seven years ago) link
once a week goes a long way honestly
injuries tho are kind of scary and seem like they easily occur in basketball, i had some weird shit happen the last time i played (tho i played probably too hard) and hyperextended my knee a little bit, it wasn't fun
― marcos, Thursday, 19 January 2017 20:27 (seven years ago) link
we did too much that day. i think we played for like 2-3 hours, full court 4 on 4 and it was exhausting
― marcos, Thursday, 19 January 2017 20:29 (seven years ago) link
injuries are v bad for hoops. I've had quite a few. some from years back that still affect me.
― Spottie, Thursday, 19 January 2017 21:57 (seven years ago) link
both my ankles are fucked so I have no expolosiveness to finish nor do I have much strength...but I get a ton of aerobic exercise so I just try to out-stamina everyone, even the young guns. After a few games I start getting wide open looks cause defender gave up on chasing me around :D

i think i retired again its too hard on my body + i have to play a ton to stay on top of my game, it was a sweet swan song tho

nah you just need to learn an old man game that is dominant but requires little effort

lag, all people 35 and under do not know how to guard in the post and most over 35 don't either! develop a chain of post moves and you will be ballin til the grave.

Bannon is remembered as much for his skill at sports as for his work on the ship’s deck. When the Foster docked at ports in different parts of the world, the ship’s basketball team often lined up games against local competition. Bannon’s nickname was “Coast,” short for coast-to-coast, because on the basketball court he’d never pass the ball, Mickle said.
post moves very much in character
