    That was a very poorly constructed experiment. I'm starting to question their credentials. I don't think these people are real scientists. They could've used a smaller ball so that sasha's hands would have the same proportions as shaq without having him loose sensation. You also make the ball lighter to simulate shaq's strength and you lower the rim to make them match height.

      lirpa5 Knicks needed a shooting guard that can complement melo and the a vet that can hit that three. I was hoping for a european player like this because there arn't many good three point nba players left that would take vet minimum. Two rings and familiar with the triangle is a big plus.

    In have heard countless times that Shaq shot around 70-80% in practice consistently throughout his career, he said he thinks his struggles were just all mental after awhile, and he could just never get his technique down. These tests are ridiculous, of course his height doesn't matter, Yao Ming was 5 inches taller than Shaq and was money from the foul line. I think it is all about technique, muscle memory, and the mental aspect of being confident shooting from the foul line.

It would be Sasha's first go at a mini-court. Guess that's why they didn't change it cuz that's a constant in basketball. Anywhere you go the rim is always 10 feet.

    I guess that's the point. Different players have different strengths. Shaq has big hands, body size and strength and struggles from the FT line. Kawhi Leonard has huge hands, smaller size and not the strength and shoots 85%. Greg Smith has huge hands, but shoots 65%. It comes down to hand eye coordination imo, with factors of size, weight, dexterity and ability. Differs with each player.

    "I want to be over 90, 95 (percent), around that."
    Well, at least Sasha dreams big. Steve Nash shoots an NBA best 90.4% from the line for his career, and Sasha is no Steve Nash.

    Shaquille O’Neal is a great NBA Star, but we couldn’t get him so here’s this guy no ones ever heard of before. While we’re at it let’s get Lavar Ball on here and analyze his game.

    Should just make smaller board and rims. Make the ball smaller and lighter too.
