From local (Syracuse) radio today, re: Buddy

[Capt. Tuttle]

GMac was on. Talked about at the end of practice, guards need to make 5 three pointers, in a row, from the top of the key. Then they keep going until they miss. After one practice, Buddy made 38 straight.

I want saw a video of someone I think Gilbert Arenas that made something like 95 out of 100 shots one-handed or something crazy like that

Did he have a gun in the other hand?
Sorry...couldn't resist.

Sometimes I think we forget how uber talented these guys are

 

[upperdeck]

I would hope they all hit 10+ in a row a few times a week, but 38 is pretty good.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

They just followed up with Gerry. They asked him what his record was. Did not hesitate: 59

 

[Marty McFly]

maybe they should do the same for free throws too?

 

[NateW]

Is there a good app to download for out of towners to listen to SU sports talk?

 

[newmexicuse]

Too bad they didn't have that rule when Stevie Thompson was here. He would still be shooting and this team could certainly use his help !!!

I agree guys that shooters at this level should be able to drain 8-10 in a row in practice while wide open. I also think 38 is a bit more than pretty good.

Just use the regular ESPN app. Click “more” and then “live radio”. scroll all the way down the list. The Syracuse station is there

Apropos of nothing - 1,000 years ago I played pickup hoops with Steve Nash at Santa Clara - midnight hoops league kind of thing. He was a college freshman. He showed off one evening. Made 10 in a row from the college 3 line (baseline). Then made 10 in a row from the out of bounds line (baseline). Then made 10 in a row from behind the player bench. Needless to say - he didn't play in our silly little pick up league for long. Very nice guy by the way.

A Michigan player a few years ago (Stauskas?) had a video if him hitting 90-something out of 100 threes.

Dad immediately asked why not 39

And that is why Buddy excels.

i don't know if there was anything unique about the bona game in rochester but my dad called me 10 times while I was drinking at nathaniels nearby before meeting him freaking out about mcnamara hitting everything warming up

old man never saw anything like it

Shooting free throws in a row means nothing. take two. run around a bit and shoot two more. You can make any amount when you are in sync.

 

[Ghost]

Curry was on ESPN a year or two ago hitting like 90 straight fwiw. I don't recall the exact number, but it was WAY, WAY, WAY more than 38.

* Okay, found on Youtube...it was 77 in a row and 94 of 100.

In the video they say Klay Thompson commented after that (at that time) the most he ever made in a row at practice was 36.

Yup. I think people would be very surprised at how well a lot of these kids (and even HS kids) can shoot in practice.

I would hope they all hit 10+ in a row a few times a week, but 38 is pretty good.

gerry went on to say that 85% from the top of arc is elite level shooting (with the machine passing you the ball). you are going to hit 10 in a row a few times on that road to 85+%.

38 or 59 in a row is insane.

I am probably 60% from the top of the key and that is getting my own rebound. i routinely hit 4-5 in a row but 10 is very difficult.

I was 70/140 today at lunchtime going the around the horn getting my own rebound. not sure i ever made more than 4 in a row today.

I think i've made two in a row once or twice.

Wonder what Gerry's record is.
