For example, after a successful crossover, successful head-fake, or receiving a fantastic 720°-spin, no-look, between-the-legs bounce pass.

Good question.

I'd be really interested to see if one's shooting percentage increases after scoring on a successful move. Is he more likely to make future shoots?

I remember watching a game once and oneof the commentators was like, "when you receive a good pass, you never.. NEVER.. miss the shot."

Come to think of it, the only times I remember someone missing after a nice move is Deron on Rose; he tried to draw the foul instead of making the shot.

I remember even a guy who was shooting 0-for-8 catching a good pass and swishing it home... you feel a little more pressure but not the negative kind when that happens. I don't think I've ever seen Joe Johnson or Jamal Crawford  (or Allen Iverson) missing a jump shot after a crossover.

Must vary depending on the level of competition, though. I missed 3 today.

Moves get you open, guys usually shoot better when they are open and uncontested.

That's because you only see the highlights.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.

I think it has less to do with how open they are and more of their confidence.

If you just pull off a sick move and break someone's ankles, your confidence sours up.

Confidence is what separates good players and great players.
I like Marcus Smart
