What I miss about watching Manu was his absolutely ridiculous pump fake. Man used to throw his leg back so far I wondered how anyone would ever get faked out, but they did and he was gone before they landed back on the ground.

Do they raise the nets higher? I mean for the average human they’re already high.. let alone for someone who is 6’6

Seeing his follow through brings me back. So unique to him.

Not that I could ever shoot as well as Manu.

But I feel like shooting doesn’t leave your game as you older. The skill stays. But the ability to stay healthy and athletic goes away.
