Tasmin Mitchell making so many long jumpers with a toe on the 3pt line

Johnny O’Bryant’s power dribble after an offensive rebound even if a defender wasn’t near him

Ben Voogd’s “shoot from the hip” release

Andre Stringer pulling up from 40 at like a 18% clip

Tack Minor doing anything


Im sure I’ve forgotten a few. What else y’all got?

Tremont Waters late game bone-headed plays. (Although it did come with the big moments)

I don't know about learned to love, but I'm convinced that Johnny Jones taught his players to jump before they passed the ball. I've never seen so many players from the same team continually get caught in the air with nowhere to go with the ball.

Tack Minor running 50 mph out of control and throwing a prayer up against the side of the backboard as he’s falling down then bitching to the ref about getting fouled.

That guy

This thread is a blast down memory lane. Damn I wish O’Bryant, Martin, etc could have played for Wade.

Great one! It was uncanny how many “almost threes” he seemed to take and make.

For me, the Glenn Davis power drive for a charge should make the list. Davis would get the ball at the top of the key or three point line and start to set up a drive EVERYONE knew was coming. It gave guys 3 seconds to line up for the charge that inevitably resulted from his drive.

Jerry “Ice” Reynolds’ insistence on one hand dunks. He’d often hit the rim and the ball would fly off to mid court.

Not a quirk exactly, but how in hell has Vernel Singleton's shoulder band-aid not been mentioned?
