There will never have been so much excitement for missed shots than if MKG comes out and bricks 5 jumpers in a row opening night with perfect form.

Definitely need to see a video to make sure he's still not shooting on the way down

I don't care what he looks like in practice. I want to see it in an actual game.

This board is going to implode if it looks the same as last season. Will be amusing to watch.

At least they will be high quality bricks :wink:

I highly doubt it. I care a lot more about Kemba getting his %'s up than I do about whether MKG's jump shot looks good. If MKG can be effective offensively, I don't care too much how he looks doing it.

Same. Walker is going to have to do much better than that 36% or whatever it was he shot the last 35 games or so to end the season. That was pitiful. MKG just needs to make enough jumpers to wear defenses can at least respect him a little bit on that end.

So many pics and you're telling me there wasn't a single video recorded? jeez

They showed video of Gary Neal shooting during his interview, but thats it. Rather frustrating. Guess we will have to wait until training camp.

Look at his shooting in the last 10 games he played during the regular season:

6-16
1-9
6-21
7-23
5-15
3-6
6-22
8-25
8-21
7-19

Yikes. His assist numbers definitely improved though.

I think this may improve with Lance. I think Kemba wears down because of his size toward the end of the season. Being the only playmaker means he has the ball and takes a beating a lot. Hopefully adding Lance can help keep Kemba fresh for the entire season.

Not sure if I want him to interview. Hes much improved in that aspect since his rookie year, but its still uncomfortable to watch at times.

He spoke surprising well during his ALS challenge.

what I noticed is that even in this video he has this weird gait as if his feet were hurting. seems like it's a habit that he has even off the court. it always freaks me out when he does that after a fall since I naturally assume he's injured.

MKG doing some stuff for the fans right now at twitter. I answered first to a question about his stats in game 2 against Miami. Supposing that he won't send anything to me in Latvia, I guess I'll let one of you guys have it.
