Bill Simmons skyhook

[CavaliersFTW]

This is the guy who is obsessed with trashing Wilt Chamberlain's legacy...

Simmons knows basketball, and he's proven it numerous times, so his opinion really doesn't need to validated by playing ball well. That only really comes into play with dumbasses like Skip bayless trashing people, and having nothing to back up his opinion. So people call him out on the fact he's never really played, and he provides no real insight

i honestly believe you have to have played the game to completely understand it

simmons looks like he's never touched a ball before

Let's not get carried away.. he misses a awkward looking hook badly, could happen to most people.

i'm not saying he doesnt know basketball. but its obvious he hasnt played a lot.

i havent missed an uncontested hook like that since i was 13

[Chicago Brawls]

Better post moves than Dwight Howard.

Bosh misses them all the time. Maybe he'd make a great analyst?

Ok, internet tough guy.

Even the best in the world miss uncontested hooks just like that. Daily.

You're clearly a piece of shit scumbag.

[KyrieTheFuture]

People expect Bill Simmons to know post moves? He's probably never not been the smallest guy on the court

I never understood the whole playing it to understand it, or being good I should say. Tons of coaches weren't great players, esp at the lower levels. Basketball is really dependent on size and athletic ability, natural gifts. A guy may know how to properly utilize a skyhook in game but not having the physical tools to pull it off.

Bill Simmons has been around the game long enough to know what he's talking about IMO, rather listen to him than some random who has a good skyhook that plays pickup

you dont have to have played on a high level. but you have to know what a basketball game feels like on the floor and not just on a TV screen

it's my personal opinion. cause i believe theres a hella lot more to basketball than just stats and athletic ability

I don't belive you have to play ball at the competitive level to understand it. I played ball at the park like every other day, but I never played on a structured team. Yet after all of the time I spent talking about basketball with nearly anyone who knew anything about it in my school, nearly 60% of my yearbook comments included something about me working for espn one day. Its funny cause thinking back on it, 95% of my knowledge about ball came from the constant discussions I read and took part of on Ish/Rgm/Psd. I remember talking about Bird to a group of friends, then I went home and realized half of what I was saying I got from Shaqattack and Julbar's debates surrounding him
