I wanted to say something bad about NO/Oklahoma so here goes;

Doesn't Desmond Mason have the ugliest shot in the league?

Both are fugly. It's amazing they have gotten as far as they have with such goofy mechanics.

Ugly shots that go in? Does it really matter?

Childress takes this award.

It boils down to percentages.

I'll take ugly 8-13 over say, Sasha's pretty 2-10.

It's up there in ugliness, but Marion is the champ of ugly shooting, with Josh Childress as runner-up.

Figures tonight he makes his first three-pointer of the year with that crazy-ass shot.

As long as it works. Funny that Marion goes 4-9 from 3 tonight, and Mason goes 8-13 dropping 21 on the Lakers. Give me those ugly numbers any day. There was an incident earlier this year when a fan was heckling Mason for his ugly free throw shooting form. Byron Scott proceded to answer back with something along the lines of "As long as it works!" when Mason sank both.

Mason:

37.8% FG
26.2% 3PT (career, he's only taken 4 this season)
67% FT

Marion:

51.3% FG
34.3% 3PT (career)
83% FT

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Byron can talk to the hecklers all he wants, but this is pretty much what
I was talking about when I said at least Marion's works

Sasha needs to hit the gym and shoot 5000 jumpers a day, thats for sure.
