Thats the whole point of the post. Nobody said it was an impossible shot just

saying it wasn't a great shot selection. He made it so we will never know. But I'm sure there would be a lot of talk this morning about the final shot when a guy has scored at will the entire game and 15 seconds were left to get a higher quality shot.

For someone like you or me? Yes! For Dame? Not at all!!

Dame was 10/18 from 30 ft+ in the series. It was par for the course.

For those of you saying Dame’s shot was a bad shot... then you didn't watch Jimmer's college career.

The possession started with 15 seconds or so on the clock. They could have

But it was clearly what he wanted from the second he got the ball.

step back fade away 30+ foot shot isn't a great shot selection, especially when

He would not be getting slammed for missing that shot in that situation.

Nope. He wouldn’t. Dude scored 50 points and makes those shots regularly.

Also, that’s not a fadeaway, it’s a step-back, and it was

side step kicks his leg up momentum goin backwards. Thanks for the tip

FYI i am aware of what a step back is read the first post

Nowhere did I say that was the best shot he could have taken.

Considering the circumstances, I really don’t think there would be that much

Here's what Dame has to say to you if you think it was a bad shot

What a stupid thing for PG to say

ataylor

4/24/19 9:49am

He's not wrong. Thats exactly what you want if you're OKC. Dame just hit it.

Dillinger

4/24/19 9:59am

Just because that’s a shot OKC is okay with him taking doesn’t make it a bad

ataylor

4/24/19 10:02am

Almost the worst shot he could have chosen to take. But OKC probably should have

Dillinger

4/24/19 10:05am

Open look for a shot he hits at a high percentage. I can think of lots worse.

ataylor

4/24/19 10:07am

Basically you're saying no shot Dame would have taken is a a bad shot because he

Dillinger

I’m not saying that.

For a player like Lillard or Curry it was a perfectly fine shot choice.

ataylor

4/24/19 9:50am

Curry would not take that shot.

I mean, this take is so wrong. Not in regards to Curry,

Curry doesn't care if he gets the final shot. His whole career has been about

Josef K

LOL. No other star has KD and Klay on their team either.

I don't think it matters. Curry might take the shot within the offense, but I

If I'm Paul George this is the exact shot I am hoping he takes. I'm not saying

The issue is Dame said in the post interview he practices it all the time.

It was not a bad shot because he was wide open. Had PG taken a step forward, it

This quote from him about it is so delicious. Cant wait to see the thunder get blown up

4/24/19 9:49am

But Jimmer gets a pass when he does it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

BOOHOLE

4/24/19 9:40am

^ This ^ when Jimmer was here we just called that an "open" shot.

It's amazing they let Lillard have the ball to begin with.

4/24/19 9:45am

yes, you don't double him and make him give up the ball. Also shocking

If your the defense you want to force them into a 30'+ shot
