I am Pretty Good I can Hit it at 50% game mode from top of the key it is my favorite spot 2 shoot it from i also like 2 shoot it from the side.

JimO - August 1, 2005 02:13 AM (GMT)
I dont know my 3 pt. percentage, but I hit 80 for 110 last week from the left wing. Not the corner, the wing. I didnt mind that too much.

Bosnian - August 1, 2005 02:18 AM (GMT)
Damn that is good But i am talking about Game Mode
I heard Dirk can hit 50 in a row.

JimO - August 1, 2005 02:55 AM (GMT)
oh video games? with that avatar I thought you were the type who actually went out and did things.

JimO - August 1, 2005 02:56 AM (GMT)
oh, and yes I was bragging, but I am not suggesting that in a 3 on 3 I would hit at that percentage.

ReppinTheD - August 1, 2005 03:01 AM (GMT)
oh...I voted on real live stats. I suck at shooting threes - I get lucky once in a while like Ben Wallace though. I'm more of a defensive / post up player anyways.

hahah I do do things LOL
and NOT Video Games I am talking about 5 on 5 Full court or if any of you play for Leagues with decent defenders in them what would ur percentage be.

JimO - August 1, 2005 03:07 AM (GMT)
what the hell is 50% game mode, then, on a real court? If you're giving 50%, my friend, then you fit in with this new generation more than i do.

LOL I do not think you understood.
I said i shot The 3 Pointer at 50% in a real life Game.
I always give it 500%.

meet me at ruckers in an hour. Wait, I'm in chicago. Meet me there in a week. No come here, we'll play at hoops gym. Maybe Pip will be there and I'll tell him how you were going back and forth between my side and Dice'.

Bosnian - August 1, 2005 03:23 AM (GMT)
haha I am Scared.
I do not really Need 2 Prove anything and I do not have that much Money 2 waste I might come if you pay my Plane Ticket Though.

MrBigShot4Three - August 1, 2005 03:40 AM (GMT)
im like 75%-80% on threes

1MrBigShot1 - August 1, 2005 07:05 PM (GMT)
I'm pretty good, maybe 30-45% depending on how I'm feeling during the game. I'm a streak-shooter-either hit 3-4 in a row or miss 4-5 in a row.

Dice - August 1, 2005 07:41 PM (GMT)
At the gym where I end up playing most of the time, I'm deadly from the three. It's only the college three though. I've been shooting on that court so long that it's just easy. I get double teamed at the three point line so that I'm forced to drive it in.

In a 2 on 2 tournament, I was 7 of 7 from three point land in the final game. Three's only counted as 2 and we were playing to 15. My brother hit the "game winner" :realmad:

MrBigShot4Three - August 1, 2005 07:44 PM (GMT)
yeah im sorta a streaky shooter too..

Nazr McWallace - August 1, 2005 11:22 PM (GMT)
I pretty much suck at shooting 3 pointers. 2 out of 10 seems about right. I shoot much better from the mid range and close to the basket. I just can't get the right arc on the ball and it always rims out...

Mo-Town Madness - August 2, 2005 01:59 AM (GMT)
I'm a skinny white punk, but I got a killer J. I would say in high school I shot 50% I didn't take very many 3's but when I did I usually hit them. :thumbsup:

Pistons#1fan in Italy - August 16, 2005 04:31 PM (GMT)
I shot 50%. My record is 7 in a row. I am trying to improve it, but it's not simple.

I made 9 in a row at the YMCA.

zeke11 - August 16, 2005 04:59 PM (GMT)
I shy away from the three ball. My 3 isn't nearly as fluid as my mid-range shot, it's more forced with less rotation.

I'm a good mid level shooter and I've never given much thought to three point shooting, rather focusing on high % shots.

9 in a row? Compliments. It's not easy. I am trying to score 10 three-point shot in a row.

PS: If someone of you is interested, my record with nba live is 24/30.

Mo-Town Madness - August 16, 2005 06:21 PM (GMT)
lol, I made like 6 in a row with T-Mac on 2K5, online. That game he scored 63 points. I'm awesome with Rockets.

1MrBigShot1 - August 16, 2005 06:40 PM (GMT)
One time a loong time ago when I still had little PS1, I made 30/30 with Wesley Pearson on Live '99 I believe. Ever since I've had PS2, I only play ESPN games except for NCAA Football and NASCAR CFTC, and I will now need to play Madden due to their dumb license aggreement they signed with the NFL.

LeadingLady - August 16, 2005 10:45 PM (GMT)
i dont shoot i just watch them shoot :tv:

Red Dragon-mr. big shot rocks - August 27, 2005 03:16 AM (GMT)
I said 80 % because that is wat i at least shoot in just shootaround. . . but in games ill shoot around 30-40 % depending on how well i fell in the game. . . but i can get real hot in a game because i hit 5 in a row and was 6 for 7. . so it all depends. . . i am real deadly in a game of 'horse' tho i cant remember when the last time i lost. . .but anyways im pretty decent shooter fronm downtown!!

Nazr McWallace - August 27, 2005 03:36 AM (GMT)
Cool Dragon... my perimeter shooting has improved a bunch since I last posted in this topic... probably around 40-50% of my 3's are drilled in practice these days (compared to 20% or less), about 30% in game situations. I have been practicing proper shooting tecniques as explained by Bill Walton on some sports ONDEMAND thing on Comcast. As stupid as that sounds, Bill and Comcast helped me become a better shooter!!! :)

JimO - February 17, 2006 01:35 AM (GMT)
I pop more shots than Abdul Rauf ?(or Dick Cheney)

Wallace2X - February 19, 2006 08:18 PM (GMT)
70% shooter from the 3 range don't take to many three point shoots I more like the mid-range kinda guy.

I can't hit a mid-range shot to save my life. The only shots I have are a three-pointer, an at-basket lay-in, and a baseline 15-footer where there's no potential to use the backboard. That series of shots has always baffled me, but that's all I got.

pistonsfanINcleveland32 - February 24, 2006 09:11 PM (GMT)
i hit the rim if im lucky. i am such a weakling. im all fat and muscle, and i ahve short arms so. an nba is impossible for me.

pentium4forever - October 29, 2007 02:19 PM (GMT)
I'm probably in the 40% range. I love shooting 3's, my best spot is at the top of the key and my weakest is in the corners. I shoot so many far away shots that I shoot worse closer to the hoop.

I think my record for 3's made in a row is 13. It's hard to be consistent sometimes, takes a lot of focus and concentration.
