I don’t remember the last time I uploaded a vid with this kind of Kyle Korver two-pointer action. Have I ever? It’s not like it’s even that insane an amount of non-threes. But for Korver, it’s a veritable inside-the-arc scoring bonanza.
If you think way back, way WAY back to his days in Philly, he was actually a pretty decent all-around scorer. Well, actually it was only that one year where he averaged 14 a game that featured way more twos than threes. Every other year, and even more so in Atlanta, he has been shooting the long bomb almost exclusively.
That’s why people love him, I guess. Otherwise he would just be another guy. Korver without the threes is like Griffin without the dunks; there’s still something there, a good something, but not nearly as fun.
