Mr. Temkin.....Long Time indeed.....couldn't agree more SOS
But the names keep changing...so it seems like progress
I have it on good authority that Matt is one of those people that actually can "point shoot" and do it well.
Where we differ (politely) is on whether it has a place at longer distances
Where we agree wholeheartedly is that pont shooting has been around for a long , long time...but everybody acts like they invented it this week!
And where the whole discussion (always) falls apart is on the definitions
I , for one, consider point shooting to be along the lines of the speed-rock (shooting from retention position) kind of thing
To those that would say I am wrong, misguided, uninformed, etc....I would say....that one of us sure is!
IMHO stopping with the pistol just out of actual sight alignment (yes, even 8" out) is not really "point shooting"...but then again...I feel that my shooting is threat focused even when my pistols sights are aligned
I can line myself up and close my eyes and sink a 3 point shot...almost every time....just by feel/muscle memory.....but I am not going to run out and give basketball clinics touting my breakthrough 3pointshooting method.
(I am no more or less basket focused just because my eyes are closed)
