Basketball ...without backboard what you think NT

[nealraj006]

I was thinking about this yesterday as I was shooting around

I like being able to bank shots when needed

Probably be good as a practice tool.

Why is that?

^ From what I've seen, people who hate seeing bank shots hate them because they think it's luck.

Three names I bring up constantly when I hear that: Pippen, Duncan, Sheed. Dudes lived off the glass...

... but it's luck.

I know it takes skill to bank a shot, but I just feel like people who always bank shots are taking the cheap way out and dont have the skills needed.  I understand the need for bank shots, but when people bank jumpers from 18 ft out is annoying.

It would also eliminate those banked 3s that I hate too.

If there was no backboard, then there would be a lot less "lucky" shots....but on the other hand, there's more space to dunk or lay in the ball...

 

[fromazwithlove]

Tim Duncan would quit

I actually think the opposite. If someone is shooting bank shots I assume they have practiced that shot a lot and I don't attribute it to luck at all. Nor do I feel it is cheap either. I understand what you are saying though.

I do think its luck. 

(Not referring to NBA players though, im talking about pick up games.)

Even on a recreational level?  There's less accuracy needed with a bank shot which is why I think its easier and cheap.

It would weed out the scrubs who always seem to hit a game winning shot on some wild hook-shot bank-shot three.

 

[nychiphophippo]

^yes cuz that just always happens, and since they can no longer always make their wild game winning banked hook shot 3 it would then force them to quit basketball

I beg to differ. bank shot or regular shot takes skill.

 

[recycledpaper]

regular shot or bank shot, doesn't matter, both require the same sort of accuracy.

bank shots, however, are much more forgiving if you shoot it too strong

You must have missed the post where I said the shot takes skill.

 

[airjordan jb23]

Interesting...

Duncan & Sheed would have a tough time with that.

 

[ajrocka]

They should remove the net too

 

[losalmighty]

Durden you're right. You said less accuracy.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Netball > WNBA

 

[darthska]

^ Jesus lord that was a lot of whistle blowing!

 

[classy freshman]

New Zealand has some beautiful women on that team.

 

[mister916]

I wanna play 

 

[sohi 23]

what the hell was that

 

[5am6oody72]

@ so many whistles, and the way the defense just stands there while they collect themselves and calmly shoot a set shot from like 2 feet away

 

[wade187]

Guaranteed the dudes complaining about lucky bank shots, can't hit them with the consistency of the dudes they're complaining about. Yeah sometimes dudes get lucky and throw it up and bank it in, but if a dudes hitting it on you to the point you gotta complain it's a cheap shot it's not luck fam.

 

[jthagreat]

that was wierd as hell. lost as to what the rules were.
