One of the craziest stats I’ve ever seen is that JR Smith actually shoots a higher percentage while his shot is being contested than he does when wide open 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Time_Lapse_Master. I actually didn't know that, not all of those will be grenades though - some late shot-clock shots are just open catch and shoots but that'd still be an interesting stat to look at.
The dirty little secret in the NBA is that a whole lot of players protect their shooting percentage by avoiding the ball late in the clock. They’ll either pass it like a hot potato or simply won’t make themselves available by not working hard to get open.
@@MinneapolisLegend28 I remember an couple yrs ago moe harkless on trailblazers days wasn’t trying to take an 3 point shot in the last couple games of the season to protect his 3pfg% cause it was an incentive in his contract if he above 35% from 3 then it was extra money.
@@winnumber101 the phrase ‘dirty little secret’ is not to be taken literally, it means, in this case, something that it is not openly disclosed, discussed or acknowledged on telecasts or by the league itself.
@@DaGoookHe’s definitely still a chucker, he takes a lot of dumb shots and a lot of times he misses pretty simple passes. But he’s scoring 20 on good efficiency with a difficult shot diet, so you live with his hero ball.
@@bigsoulja73league average effective field goal percentage for SG is 54%, Cam is at 49%, he isn’t even that efficient, and as a very streaky shooter that also plays below average defense, he still has a lot of room for improvement
Tatum used to be a master of setting his teammate for grenades. Overdribble for 20 secs and then pass it to brown or whoever to create shot within 4 secs
@@kpj2224relax, don’t take it literal. It’s an old turn of phrase when talking about basketball players that don’t care about anything and will shoot whenever, wherever. Not about his actual conscience. It’s an old person thing now.
He has tunnelvision. If he does not contribute with anything but scoring and currently he is missing everything. Needs to get smarter and work on other things if he wants to be more than a 6th man
Cam is being 100 per cent honest when he says he thinks he can make every tough shot lol.
Fr 😂
He been doin it forever too - I remember playing him at AAU nationals in 8th grade and bro was a BUCKET, he averaged like 32 that tourney
@@jayo1499damn AAU nationals you must be some crazy guy bro
JJ asked that question knowing he’s that same MF’er
How much per dollar?
JR Smith never minded grenades or his shooting percentage. He would jump on a grenade for anyone
And what’s crazy is he still shot 38% from 3 bro was so underrated
God damn war hero out there
“I would rather take a contested shot than an open shot any day. It's kind of boring taking open shots.”- JR Smith

Yup@@timforti
First time ever hearing the term “grenade”but it makes so much sense lol
"I swear I do" came from the depths of his soul lol
Lmao we know you do Cam
U pass it to cam or mpj jus crash board or get back on d cuz the possession goin end 😂😂
Michael "The possession ends here" Porter Jr.
Jalen Green too
Tim Hardaway Jr. has entered the chat.

@@zamap4278i read this like 9 times and i still don’t understand it 😭
That honestly needs to be stat “grenade possession “ 😂
It is a thing, just filter shots to only shots with less than 4-6 seconds on the shot clock

@MakeItDrizzle94 that's a good point, it'd be cool for teams to find a way to incentivize winning over stats in their contracts
not secret, adrian dantley used to do this all the time

Corrrection: he criticises his shot MAKING not shot selection
Grenades and his fg% is excellent this year 💪
Exactly. You can't call him a chucker when he's so efficient.

If you get passed a lot of grenades it’s a sign of respect lol
Iverson was the king of Grenades lol
Harden too, two kings of grenading their teammates!
@@sethberney1833gets locked up, immediately tries the P&R with Capella tossing up the worst lob ever
@@ethanbaileylol2283those lobs lead him to one mvp and finishing top 3 in mvp voting for 5 out of 6 years. I guess more should do that
@@BLGClipsxstandin on harden with his playoff history is like standing on ice
@@christianmcclaine6885 what does James harden playoff history has to do with this? Stop being delusional
Harden on the Rockets was a grenadier lol
the reason harden had the rock so late in the clock is because he dribbled it for 18 seconds 😂
Dude cooked them himself lol
Tatum used to be a master of setting his teammate for grenades.

Used to be? He’s definitely still that guy a lot of the time.
He will learn the hard way since every year they probably just 1 stage away from championship
Yea wdym used to be tho lmao
No conscience is a double edged sword
Where did you get him having no conscience in the clip?

@@3serio I know, I’m saying that’s not what’s going on with him
@@kpj2224 well in that case, I thought that way before this clip. He’s never met a shot he doesn’t like, covered or not, he’ll let it off.
He's right about the grenades, Cam takes the 8th most shots per game with 0-4 seconds left on the shot clock
I love it hahaha Cam is a real hooper and never let his confidence drop
i've never heard him talk or seen him smile before wow
we need grenade stats
The question was wild!lol!!!!
He do be knocking them down tho
Yeah that's how I feel when I hoop, like I realize after the shot it wasn't great but I have confidence
It’s also dope bc JJ’s acknowledging he’s a tough bucket getter.
New term learn, thank you J.J.
The fact I went to school with him is wild he gone be great at basketball forever🤷♂️
Cam Thomas is what the Wizards hoped they would’ve got in Jordan Poole 😂
Dude got some claws right there
Dame just did that with that okc shot “it was this far?? 😟” got everyone rethinking how they got on PG
He doesn't get grenades, he always created his own grenades by holding the ball for 15 seconds and never passing 😂
Oooookkkkkayyyy😏😏😏
bo watch a nets game
I be throwing hella grenades on 2k😂😂
Cam Thomas is the definition of tough 🔥
I think even the guy at the local Y thinks all his shots are going down in
I’ve never seen cam so genuine and open talking to anyone like is w JJ he’s usually tough to read and shows no emotion
Whoa he’s Black Panther with those claws, damn.
Cam jus be like “Fck it.” Fr 😭
why this reminded me of the Paul George “that’s a bad shot”
Didn't he just have like an 0-24 streak? Lol funny timing for this to come up in my feed.
Cam def comes thru for the fantasy and parlay in points department keep pushing. 20 a night easy. Shoot them shots bro
As a nets fan I liked cam Thomas since we had KD and Kyrie and I said he is a potential all star at minimum
He smiled
We call those time bombs in 2k 😂
And Nets not tryna play him so much because other guys with bigger deals have to play, crazy
He seriously should work out with kyrie in the off season hes style of play would benefit from it
Cam is a walking bucket!!!! Love him as a Cavs fan!! Nets got a gem 🗣️
My favorite young player and the only reason why I go to the Barclay's and yet I promise u he takes some shot where I just shake my head lol
Catching the ball with 5 seconds or less, then scoring, could be a stat haha
With how low his assist total is and how little he passes I believe him completely.
He sounds like Keith Lee 😂
This the mf scratching everybody on the courts 😂🤣
Donovan Mitchell gets hella grenades too
didn’t know americans called grenades. in portugal we name it “hot potato” 😂
Lmao Royce catching a stray
That gel polish looks nice on his nails.
Carmelo was the King of getting grenades lol
Negative canthal tilt
If i had that mindset id be twice as good in a real game, my early coaches weren't about that life
They don't want Market Cam 30 to 40
The mentality of a player who will never be more than he is.
Great scorer, but unless he gets serious and stops thinking he’s automatic, he’ll never make his team better.
Would’ve been traded somewhere I seen he had 0 points aganist pelicans 0-11 🤦🏽♂️
Do you think Cam Thomas is a complete player this season
Wouldn’t say complete but I honestly do think his playmaking and defense has gotten somewhat better
Damn not trying to be a jerk but I thought his voice would’ve sounded deeper
“Maybe it was bad shot, but if I work on it it could go in so I’ll let it slide.” If Ben Simmons had this mentality he would’ve been an MVP.
Love Cam Thomas, Brooklyn been doing him dirty with playing time though.
Same thing they hated Kobe for
He doesn’t wear 24 for nothing. This kid is a bucket
Knew something was weird about him. Those fingernails confirmed it
Why his nails long as hell
Weirdly long
Also known as shot clock cheeeesse
Cam Thomas is a bucket
‘Grenade’ will always mean the ugly girl at the function
this guy is a make or miss guy.
This man is going to ruin himself with the nets, one of the most talented scorers in the league & they don’t even play him
Lol I throw grenades on 2K 🙂
Who thinks their gonna miss
Who watched this after Brooklyn loss vs clippers 😂 22-0 run
Thomas needs to leave Brooklyn
Every team needs a grenadier
*Paul George liked this video*
Kobe got the most grenades in nba history without a doubt and people still wanna obsess over his fg%🤦🏽♂️
Another NBA player not in shape
😂
Why does cam look like poole on weed?
He looks nothing like Jordan Poole you dumb bxtch
Dumb comment he looks absolutely nothing like Poole
You’re mentally challenged
Royce catching strays for no reason lol
to be fair, he takes a lottt of bad shots and doesn't hit open teammates.
He has tunnelvision. If he does not contribute with anything but scoring and currently he is missing everything. Needs to get smarter and work on other things if he wants to be more than a 6th man
Bro needs to cut his nails
talented but un-coachable. what a waste.
Cam isn't uncoachable
this mentality is ruining basketball
nigga that’s shot clock cheese🤣
