You'd be surprised. Game-action 3s are a big difference from zero-defense practice shots in terms of accuracy.

I know that, but still Ant making 16 3s in a row IMO would be an extremely rare if ever occurrence even in practice.

I think he's a good, but overrated player. Probably one of the 20 best on Earth. That is not really little of him. I find it insulting you making that assumption Klomp. Not a particularly good shooter. I think 16 in a row or more is more rare than you think it is even in practice.

Hell, I’ve hit 10 pro threes in a row and I didn’t even play D3 ball. Also never tried out because at went to a D1 school. ;)

If 16 is not rare at all, what was the point of posting that 16 in a row as a highlight? Why haven't we seen highlights of him making 16 or more in a row before. This could have been the first time. I think it is quite rare for Ant.

Why would it be edited? I am sure most good shooters in the NBA can easily make 16+ corner 3's in a row.

It's possible, but unlikely. I bet Stephen Curry has a hard time doing it on a regular basis. Ant's best season shooting 3s was just under 37%.


I once saw Jim Shikenjanski can 10 in a row at Williams Arena before a game.

And dude attempted zero in games over 4 years.

Yeah. Does this dude not realize Dwight Howard shot over 90% on FTA in practice?

These players, on completely set and uninterrupted and unpressured, can easily make 20-30 3P shots in a row.

I make > 10 consecutive 3P shots at the park at least once a year, if not more times per year, and I am no where near a college athlete or basketball player, let alone an NBA player.

20-30 in a row is pretty common for semi-pro and 2nd division in lowly Romania, so I'm sure it's not a big deal for Edwards. He is the youngest to 300 and 500 threes and while he's not Arenas/Curry, he's a VERY good shooter.

It was the NBA posting the video and not him, so we shouldn't take it for more than it is.

Why is Romania lowly? The hottest women on Earth come from Romania. I think it's highly. :D :lol: :evil:

Definitely top country for women beauty, but basketball wise, nothing since Big Ghita. National team veterans quitting basketball to go to the states and work for Amazon. And to send me A1 jerseys, of course ... right before Ant announces the # change :roll:

We have heard of it. We saw Curry make 105 3P shots in a row.

The video was posted because it was impressive to someone, and someone like you is simply the target audience.

Again, I can easily make 10+ 3P shots consecutively if I am at the gym or a park for an extended period of time. Why can't the pros?

If you don't believe me, look at this article.

I'm not talking about Curry and I'm not talking about Fred Newman or you. I'm just talking about Anthony Edwards. He's probably to the point of being a good 3 point shooter now. Maybe he does this all the time. This was the first I had ever seen of him making so many in a row even in a practice setting. That led me to the assumption this was rare for him. It's not a big deal either way.

I am wondering his shooting form. Looks to me he jumps forward a step. Is it better if he land straight down?

Wasn’t the tweet just to hype people up about one of the team USA members working on their game.
