This year the NBA has been strapped with injuries of superstar status players. We usually have injuries but this year it appears that there are more than normal. This leads one to ask why? Why are all these

With the NCAA Tournament about to begin, I decided that it was time to do anoyher article on the art of shooting the basketball. In order to do this I had to think of the 10 best shooters I ever witnessed shoot a basketball in college. We have seen people who could score in college basketball, but we haven’t had but a few pure shooters come through who can just light it up. My list will begin in 1988 since that is about the time I learned to appreciate the art of shooting. Therefore players like Bernard King, Larry Bird, Craig Hodges and others will not appear since I never saw them play a college game.
As I began constructing this list I started thinking of far too many players who dominated the college game, but when I narrowed it down to the ability to but the biscuit in the basket, well that list kept getting narrower and narrower.
The list will count them down in order from number 10 to number 1.
Let’s take a look.
10. Mitch Richmond – Dubbed “The Rock” Richmond was drafted 5th overall in the 1988 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, following two years at Kansas State, where he averaged 20 points per game, and two years at Moberly Junior College in Missouri. Before joining the NBA, Richmond also competed in the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.

The first game was a debacle as the Celtics failed to resemble anything that they showed in previous series versus the Cavaliers and the Magic.
Game 2 – Enters Jesus 
Jesus Shuttlesworth "AKA Ray Allen" (He Got Game reference) showed up at the Staples Center on FIRE. Jesus could not miss. He hit 7 out of 7 three point shots before missing one in the left corner that went half way down before coming out.
Before the game, ESPN had Rachel Nichols reporting live from the Staples Center. During her interview no one was in the gym shooting except for Ray Allen. Allen used that warm up time well as he dropped 27 points in the first half but a late 2nd quarter effort by Kobe kept the Lakers close.
Watching Jesus fire up shot after shot and all of them going in was like recapturing my youth, playing DOUBLE DRIBBLE on Nintendo. It was like I was playing with the Green Team and finding that sweet spot in the right corner where you couldn’t miss a shot even if you turned your back to the basket.
For the past few weeks on twitter we have been trying to resolve an issue of who is the better shooter, Reggie Miller or Ray Allen. Allen has been holding down the conversation at a 7 to 3 margin on some polls and on Kenny Masenda’s count (my twitter brother from another mother) it’s 8 to 2. Granted Reggie Miller did have his moments, he never did it in the finals, and he
