Why does anyone bother going to the rim at all. Everyone should just shoot 3's from halfcourt since there are no defenders to contest there.

It's not that there were defenders there, it's that he was setting himself up for a bad layup attempt because either a) he was thinking pass-first assuming someone was behind him which slowed him down and hurt his momentum going to the basket or b) he just lost control of the ball a little bit while dribbling down the court. Maybe both. Both ARE his fault but it's just highly exaggerated in this thread

A guy called Wiggy is not going to make that happen. Call him King Wiggins, A-Wolf or whatever.

If you're thinking pass first when you're 30 feet away from the rim, no one is within 7 feet of you, and no one is inbetween you and the rim, then you're making the wrong basketball play. That cannot be over exaggerated. And add to the fact that he has a history of doing it...you should well know why the reaction is the way it is in this thread.
It is without a doubt the wrong basketball play. Slowing down to pass the ball when no one is inbetween you and the rim can't be defended. It's wrong.
