Think about some of the biggest shots you have ever seen in March.The buzzer beaters, the crowd silencers, the shots to go on a run that electrifies the crowd. If you need a bit of help remembering, maybe a video will help.
When you look at a lot of the most memorable shots in March Madness history, or heck, college basketball history on the whole–there is a familiarity between a lot of them. They are a particular shot:
A shot off the dribble.
Think about it–whether it be Randolph Childress’ ankle breaker, or Kemba Walker electrifying the garden, or as recently as last year, Kansas State’s Marquis Nowell going crazy at the end of just about every game–a lot of these shots are off the dribble.
