Otto Porter is still leading the league in three-point percentage. Things haven’t changed. Kyle Korver is catching up, and may surpass him by season’s end, but it doesn’t matter. Everyone knows Korver can shoot. That’s what he’s good at. That’s what he’s supposed to do. Alternately, shooting, prior to this year, wasn’t one of the areas of basketball where The Ottoman Empire was most proficient. The fact that he’s shooting so well is one of the greatest stories of the season.
I’m exaggerating, but only a little bit. I don’t feel Otto-matic is getting the recognition he deserves for so vastly improving that area of his game, or, more simply, for being the BEST long-ball bomber in the whole FRICKIN’ NBA. YOU FRICKIN’ FRICKS. It’s because he’s on the Wizards, isn’t it? No one cares about Bradley Beal either, and they only begrudgingly care about John Wall. Might be time for another rebrand over there, to drum up some more hype. Bring back the gold!Otto Porter 25 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/16/2017)
