Garnett's "I Can Shoot 3's" Rant

He’s always had range. We already have great three point shooters so I think he should focus on doing other things on offense most of the time, but if you’ve got a good look then take the shot.

Him shooting 3’s isnt a novel thing like fans made Scalabrine playing into. Hes one of the best and he can do it all.

Back in the day, ‘99-’07. Took 116 of them in ‘02, his max. He basically quit doing it after missing all 11 in ’07-’08, and of course his role changed when he moved to Boston. Media shouldn’t be surprised that he’s taking them, tho. It’s logical. What’s really cool is how he’s MAKING them.

KG’s rants are priceless. The world will be a sorrier place without them.

hope he can be a future coach for the celtics when he retires.

coach garnett!!

and shot a lot more 3s. He was actually fairly consistent too. That’s why he is always regarded as one of the most versatile players in the history because he can do so much. He was incredibly hard to guard in his prime because of his shooting range and his consistency.

I’m not surprised at all.

“I can shoot 3s, let that go, I can shoot 3s. Y’all acting all shocked like y’all ain’t seen a black guy shoot 3s before.”

….too funny.

His career 3P% is 28.4%. So, he’d have to be shooting less than 42% on long twos to make stepping back behind the arc worth it. Probably less than that, since he is not as good of a three-point shooter as he was in his younger days.

kg can shoot the 3 and make it but i much prefer him going inside more to score. we need him down low more than we need him beyond the 3.

with the bad knee and all, i think it may be a little much to ask him to keep going down low as much as he did in his youth, i mean, the post is probably the most physically exhausting position to play in basketball

He’s becoming more entertaining all the time! I like that he’s more talkative and some of the game day facade fades more easily.

And clearly he’s right on both points. He can shoot threes (although no one would bet money on him against Ray Allen). And yes, his main job description as a Celtic includes about 25 major bullet points BEFORE mentioning his three point range.

The C’s have plenty of 3 point shooters. Now a low post scoring threat is a much different situation.

This guy is nuts (in a good way of course lol.) I love his post game interviews. They are always classic. This season, we’ve gotten two. One, the bar fight and then this. You are the man, KG.

Practice.
