Greg's Half court shot

[Webster's Dictionary]

I'm assuming this is real and not an April fools joke, but maybe it is. Anyway, I found this nugget on NBA.com when watching highlights of last nights win. Haven't seen it around yet.

We showed it last night, and it is real.

 

[Rodolfo]

He did it on his first attempt too.

There was a thread about it yesterday and its a little more then half court. Honestly, I dont get the big deal. I've done that numerous times. Maybe because he is a big man? idk

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

"Half Court"? He shoots it from the opposite free throw line! That's almost full court.

It's real. A friend of mine's kid was at that hoops camp over spring break and he saw Greg make it. He said that Greg missed a few half court shots then hit the full court shot on his first try.

I think I heard a kid say "holly crap" after he made it.

 

[Paxil]

At least 3/4 court.

 

[Webster's Dictionary]

I just thought it was impressive cause it looks like it's his first try.

I mean, I'm always yelling for Greg to take the three. They leave him wide open at the top of the key all the time. I'm not going to be happy with Oden until he extends his range out to beyond half court. Looks like he's on his way.

Yep, I think he'll have a similar game to Dirk Nowitzki in a few years. I just hope he doesn't get too 3-point happy. I don't want Sergio to be our only low-post presence.
