I’m 6 foot 3 and got asked all my life why I didn’t play basketball since I’m “so tall” - I then would point out how tiny Steve Nash looked on the court and would tell people I’m the same height as him…but I moved like I was shaq.
-
Jimmy is so confident in his content that he's promoting treatment against hair loss for when LBJ tunes in. Well played.
-
Strange view of hang time. I always thought hangtime meant people stayed in the air longer because they could jump higher , not because they could actually hang, hover or levitate.
-
On jump shots, Jordan’s ability to shoot on the way down also gave the illusion he was “hanging” longer than most people.

"When a player reaches a level of greatness, he becomes the man, the myth , the legend. You just gotta know which is which" Jimmy what a BAR

I think the key to "hang time" is making it look like you're not moving in the air. Most players these days are always contorting their body and trying to do something flashy. If you watch some of the longest dunks recorded their knees are tucked in they are holding their arm out with the ball and just waiting to reach the rim, as if they're floating. Nothing fancy, but it looks like they're up there forever.

For the off-season clips part… it’s completely true. At my local gym in New Hampshire there was a ref who played nba for a year or two. Only made it to Gleague. Luke Bonner. Brother of Matt Bonner. Dude was automatic from 3pt. Made like 20 something straight. With out trying. And this is a guy who never actually made it. Pros are on another level
-
The other thing that lower's three point shooting percentage in the Bird era, is that in that time 3 pointers were primary made as bail out shots under heaps of pressure. Rarely did they use to find an advantage.
-
I’ve always pictured “hang time” just how long the athlete is in the air when jumping. Either way MJ clearly exemplifies it
-
Bro i swear to god this guy is the best basketball content creator rn. The amount of effort he puts into each video is just immeasurable
-
Imma keep it real I never once in my life even considered the theory a man could be suspended in the air through forces that are unknown.. so to me to hear that people actually thought that is intriguing to me
-
Bird was a winner,his 3's winners games, forged his legend.
-
Jxmy's 13 minutes videos feels like 3 minutes because of how good it is. I could do an hour long episode each time!

"You can't beat the laws of physics" Mj: " And I took that personally"
-
Bird was known as a great three-point shooter NOT because he made a high-percentage or that he made a LOT of them but because he made them when the team needed them most --- at the end of games, with no time on the clock, to tie a game, etc. etc.... You have yet to prove anyone better at THAT then Bird.
-
“contrary to popular belief, athletes can’t hang in mid air.” Yoooo, I literally thought they just floated!!
-
I never thought hang time meant Jordan could actually "hang" in the air. That's ridiculous.
-
I agree with your argument for Bird not being an all-time three point scorer but I would still love to see Larry’s three point scoring adjusted to today’s nba

Spud Web's performance at the 1986 Dunk Contest looked like it practically defied physics.
