If you’ve spent any time observing NBAers practising their jump shots, here’s one thing you’ve seen: Even the players who aren’t known as shooters are, by any normal human standard, ridiculously great shooters. Alone in a gym, unguarded and unperturbed, the soundtrack to their workout is crisp swish after crisp swish, forever on loop.
So the three-point shooting specialists who can fill the basket from long range despite defensive schemes built to stop them — they’re remarkable specimens, inevitably a mix of genetic gifts and dogged work ethic.
Count Danny Green and Fred VanVleet among that group.
