All the fans are gone, the television cameras are packed up and the lights inside the Alaska Airlines Arena have gone dim. For those who’ve already gone home, they’re about to miss the real show.
Michael Carter III may launch 100 shots. Or 200. It all depends on the day. Carter, after every Washington home game, steps back onto the court and shoots until he meets his daily goal of 500 attempts. The number itself is high. So are the amount of people on Twitter who’ve made a point of watch Carter shoot. More than 12,000 people have watched the three videos a reporter filmed and then tweeted of Carter shooting in an empty Hec Edmundson Pavilion.
