I think I mentioned on another post Tim Duncan player 12-14 feet and won 5 championships could've had 7-8. I don't mind kp taking a good 1 now and then but I'd rather him stay in that Duncan range. The one thing I fear with kp is injury and it will be hairy ifhe starts driving from 26 feet-- that's the way you rip your knee up
you should just keep quiet if you have nothing smart to add. How about putting some effort into you stupid argument?s
I have no idea why you get a free pass.
I'll tell you why. Because when you play a certain way the read on you becomes set a some point. We know that he has the 3. But to open that up that's where the mid range and driving the ball comes in. When the scouting report says " don't let him near the basket" how many more of his 3 pointers will be unguarded? It strategical thinking showing its influence.
where did you see me say that he should not take shots from everywhere? If anything, I keep saying to make sure that he is not one dimensional and that we should not stifle any part of his game.
Whats cool about him is that he has the IQ to calibrate his game based on what works and what does not. The kid is a true student of the game.
No sane person will/should ever tell him to only shoot the ball from 12 feet in.
Tim Duncan won 5 championships playing 14 feet and in. The big shot he hit tonight was a 12 footer he stepped into with touch. Why on Earth would i want my 7-3 guy focusing past 14 feet? Like I said before a 3 in rhythm is a fair shot once or twice a game--
He's taking 3 a game, one more than you recommend.
You have a solution in desperate search of a problem.

So he can set a pick on the perimeter and force the big guy to stay close to him and not collapse on the guard with the ball.
Another great example of a player who plays 14 feet and in who has won championships--Mr KG. Also a guy who never got hurt with a similar body to KP.

FAIL
Most of his shots were long 2's. is a 20 footer better than a 22 footer? Today those 20 footers would be threes (OBVIOUSLY).
He was a great rebounder, leader, passer and an all world example.
If KP's 12 feet and in, he can't do this:
Most are from beyond 12 feet or close to the 3 pt line with running starts.

well its still stupid ... cause uh it just is. The guy is 7 3 for cryin out loud. He should not be jumping that high. I want my centers to take little jumps like Mchale.

F That, Jabbar sky hook all day. They should have a no dunking rule instituted in the NBA like they did when Lew Alcindor was at UCLA.
no dunking rule ... i like it!
and really short shorts so that we can see how big your package is (which will give us an idea of how you will perform in the playoffs)
