Message: [QUOTE="VaBeachOrFan, post: 1594574, member: 1274"] As I'm reflecting some more on those games of old, some morning-after thoughts on the Nats-Celtics games and the players' styles that I used to mimic -- using a nerf ball of course because my hands were small: [LIST] [*]Hal Greer used a mini-jump shot to shoot his free throws. [*]Dick Barnett kicked his feet up behind his knees when he shot his "Fall Back" shot. [*]Bob Cousey's 1/3-court push shot as he walked the ball up the court. [*]Sam Jones' bank shots. [*]Frank Ramsey's jumper was the opposite of Barnett's -- he'd spread his legs slightly and lean forward as he shot, trying to draw a foul. [*]And, of course, Bill Russell's "style" was the way he imposed his will on the game, usually ending with another Red Auerbach cigar. [/LIST] Ah, the days. . . --VBOF [/QUOTE]
