NBA players should never finish a game shooting 100 percent from three on more than 2 or 3 attempts. Never ever. When a player is hot like that, it is both the team’s responsibility to get him more shots and the player’s responsibility to chuck the ball from deep every time he touches it until he proves he’s not hot anymore. You think Curry made 400 threes in a season by waiting around and picking his spots? Heck no! He grabbed the ball by the balls and shot that thing until his arms fell off.
So while Bogdan Bogdanovic’s perfect 6-for-6 night from three and final career-high total of 25 points is mightily impressive, it comes with an undertone of frustration. Could we possibly be looking at a 40-burger for this dude if he had just followed his natural basketball instincts of shooting the damn ball instead of trying to be a team player? Here’s the thing: being a team player isn’t helping the Kings win games right now. Why not ditch the faux-humbleness and show these losers how things really are when you have one of the best European players on your team?
Just try it for one game to start. If it doesn’t work, you can pretend that you thought you were really hot after shootaround and thought you would take more shots than normal, and then go back to your usual tendencies the next game.
