Dude is such an elite scorer you know he can go for 30 in his sleep, but he doesn't even care or try. LOL. Dude just trying to win rings and hoop the right way.

Westbrook gone have these young’s kids growing up thinking they can still be considered “good” all while missing layups all game!

I still don't understand how you miss that many layups if you can get up that high.

Having touch is a talent

I also dont think he actually looks at the rim when he's going 100 mph driving to the hoop. Just look at the rim when you're driving instead of just throwing it up thinking it'll fall in.
Not everything is about putting english on the ball and finding angles that shorter guards have to master.

its modern physics lol without touch, the ball gonna be having the same momentum as Rust

He's noticeably worse as the years go by though. You don't just lose touch. Sure he might've just dunked everything before. He's def doing something different now.
I really feel like he doesnt look at the rim. Its like people who cant look up while dribbling.

My Cavs gotta get through this covid stretch

Am I bugging but did embiid do the DX suck it before he left the court?

you can definitely lose touch. touch isnt just on layups, its also on jumpshot. Guys who get zero rotation on shots have poor touch

This is true too. I remember Tony Parker saying his looked all his layup attempts in.

Touch is weird. Shaq couldn’t make free throws but didn’t miss those hooks.
Lonzo can’t make a layup but has turned himself into a knockdown shooter.

When I think of touch I think of big men around them rim (Pause). Like a Hakeem, Amare, Duncan etc. Or a guard that can finish (Kyrie, Trae, etc). I don’t really equate it to a jump shot.

True, which is why we should all appreciate people like Steph, Kyrie, Trae, Jimbo, KD, who have touch from everywhere.

Ask russ if touch matters when it comes to shooting. He has some of the worst misses ever.

That’s just 1 stat though. He’ll never catch Bron in ast, reb, blks, MVPs, FMVPs, they’re not in the same tier. In fact Steph is like 2 tiers back. Steph is closer to Steve Nash than he is to Lebron.
