This is good proof of how psychology is important in basketball. The guy was mentaly challenged before even taking his first shot, the environment, the pressure, the situation, he was not ready for that and he got destroyed. Sad for him, but a good reminder that confidence and mental are 2 very important things for a shooter.

[@willigeek2013]

Can’t agree more.

[@bilogskii2216]

And that's the reason why Ben Simmons has a mixtape of his jumpshots during training/practice and none of it applied in an actual game.

It’s such an underrated aspect of the game, being mentally tough to take those shots and making them.

[@rudyardganuelas6254]

When he mentioned the ceiling, it was obvious that he doesn’t have the allconsuming, usually incorrect, self confidence that is required to be the greatest shooter in the world. The shooters in the NBA can only see makes and not misses, even if they miss more often than not. It’s the absurd levels of self-confidence that makes Bertans run to the 3 pt line on a fast break instead of taking a layup. Right or wrong, you gotta believe that you are invincible. He came in there without it. I was expecting him to be cocky, but when faced with the prospect of real competition, he wilted.

Kenny has the single most experience shooting in this very specific scenario in a studio with a low ceiling.

He claimed “greatest basketball shooter.” When they went to their starting positions, it was the guy who brought up the studio environment even before they started shooting. No one who actually believes they’re the greatest basketball shooter would care about the studio environment. He would man up and focus on the task at hand. No one interrupted him while shooting, as you claim. He was given the same opportunity to shoot his shots as Kenny. The guy was used to controlling everything when he shot. He finally had to perform in a way with which he was unfamiliar but should have known was coming (the show had been on for many years and they had done several shooting contests previously). He could have easily researched everything in advance to see what to expect. But he chose to go in unprepared. He was toast before they started, and it was awesome to see him get destroyed.

One thing I learned in life with basketball. Anyone can be a pure shooter and lights out with their shoots when they are alone with no real pressure.

Your heart rate picks up, your nervous kicks in and your mind starts to scatter. That’s why being a pro athlete isn’t as easy as use regular folks think it is.

You know, that´s remind me of a similar story in a basketball camp back in the day. I was 14-15 y/o, and this former basketball player in my country, Vinicio Muñoz, he was teaching in that 2 day camp. He is the MJ/GOAT of the dominican basketball league, a 6´7 SF with a great jumper, his jumpshot kinda look like Luka´s jumpshot with a high arc, and he averaged like 23 pts over a 25 years career. And boooy, he was an old head, just like that drunk uncle that tells you he would have made it to the NBA if he didnt get injured, or another bullshit excuse. He started the first day practices giving his testimony, the ups and downs of his life and career, and of course he was talking in some point of how good he was and his shot was money. Some kid participating in the practice was talking hella trash to his friend, he didnt believe this former player was that good, and this kid was one of the best of the camp. The old head overheard him talking, and dared him to a shooting contest, while everybody started to do the drills. Whoever makes the more shots out of 10 attempts, win. The former player didnt warm up and he shot first, he went 10/10 from inside the three point line. Then, he passed a ball to the young fella, and he missed horribly the first shot, no chance to win. And this man was almost 60 y/o, but in a good shape, shooting 200 shots everyday as his normal daily routine. Anyway, after that, young fella really started to learn from the old man. If i remember well, he told us to practice twice as hard the dribbling with your left hand, and dribble most of the time with your opposite hand, so you can change the direction and explode to the basket with your strong hand, which, ironically, are pretty good teachings if you try it, but he told me once i was trash. I think he faced MJ and USA basketball team back in 1984 in a exhibition game. St Johns offered him an scholarship as a teenager, but he rejected it, until this day his biggest regret, according to himself.

[@timwynn1983]

To be fair, it’s Kenny having home court advantage just like in an actual game. He got the crowd of scary Shaq and chuck to back him up and intimidate Anthony. It’s like if Kenny were to play in a playoff game in the opposing team’s home court, Kenny and his team would likely more to lose because of the physiological pressure like Anthony is having right now. On top of that, Kenny had more time to shoot in the studio’s court and it was Anthony first time shooting on this court which has low ceiling, and this of course gave Kenny a huge advantage alongside with the home court advantage. Let’s reverse this and put Kenny on the courts that Anthony was playing on. Kenny would lose 100%. So I don’t think why everyone is criticizing Anthony..

Like players say, a player can lose their athleticism, their explosiveness and quickness. But shooters never lose their touch.

I don't know how you do it, you're the best storyteller I've ever encountered. You took a very basic and uneventful bit and had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Well done sir!
