Message: [QUOTE="CuseFaninVT, post: 2596664, member: 2002"] Shooting is so weird. I know more than a few guys I play with on a regular basis that make 3 pointers like layups, but shots from a step or two inside the line are near impossible for them. So much muscle memory comes into play, plus you're more likely to be taking those shorter shots off the bounce which involves a whole other skill set. The reason we notice guys like Durant and Livingston for their mid-range games is because so few guys seem to work that muscle anymore. I have to think if the numbers are coming up, it's two factors - guys are obviously getting better from 3 - we see that with big men clearly. But it's also guys taking the time to work on the mid-range shots as well. [/QUOTE]
