There was a time where I clowned Avery Bradley for his overreliance on midrange jumpers. That time was before I started this channel, I think, because I can’t find any evidence of me dissing him for shooting too many of those things in my comprehensive description archive. That’s good. I wouldn’t want my old opinions to make a reappearance. In general, those opinions were of a relatively poor nature before I started this venture. Better than a total casual’s, but I had some seriously bad takes that thankfully I never had the occasion to type out on the internet for everybody to see.
I still have plenty of bad takes, but at least when it comes to Bradley, I know greatness when I see it, and his midrange jimbos are basically greatness in jumper form.
Bradley hasn’t been doing too much with the Lakers so far this season. This is probably disappointing to all those Lakers fans who watched the vid of him notching a serious 30-burger while with the Grizzlies last year. I knew that performance was an aberration, I knew that whoever acquired him wouldn’t get anything like that, but I also knew that fans would watch that video and be fooled. He can score sometimes (like tonight), but most nights, it’s not going to be happening for him. Especially when he can’t shoot threes anymore, apparently.
