The official play-by-play sheet called it a “25-foot, 3-point jump shot.”
And Moby Dick was just another whale.

“I’ve seen him do that kind stuff, make shots like that for the past two years,” said Wes Matthews. “From the first day you saw him out on the practice court, you could tell from the way he carried himself. He’s just, well, different.”
It’s the difference that allows a neurosurgeon to poke around inside somebody’s brain with with the sheer confidence, maybe the utter arrogance, that he just won’t slip with the scalpel.

It’s the difference that diamond cutter has when he knows that he won’t turn that big, expensive bauble into cheap rock with a bad tap on the chisel.
“I mean, I got a pretty good look,” said the 23 year old who might as well be an ageless Yoda doing tricks with a light saber. “Once I saw it on line, I said that’s got a chance. It went in, but it did feel good when it left my hands.”

Gosh, I hope LMA doesn't bolt for free agency... I'm worried about his happiness.

He looks really upset. I bet he wants to join forces with the Lakers.

Jumping in to steal the spotlight from the younger player. Obsessive need for attention and to take all the credit.
