00:00players have been upset that if you heave up a half-quarter full-court shot at the end of a
00:05quarter into the half end of the game that if you miss it and you're going to miss it a lot more
00:09than you make those shots obviously that that attempt will no longer count oh my god against
00:16your field goal percentage because god forbid you take a shot from 65 feet and miss it and your stat
00:25goes down one-tenth of a percentage how do you live with yourself so the nba said we're going to
00:32further cater to you and we don't want you to feel bad about your performance and we want you to take
00:38those shots what it means is that there are players in the nba that refuse to take that shot because
00:45it's negatively impacting their own personal stats if you make the shot does it count yeah do you get
00:53three points for it yeah does it count for your shooting percentage yeah so if you miss it it
01:00should count against your percentage and you shouldn't make a business decision i remember that
01:05clown boring son of a bitch uh wally zerbiak once told me that he had a two hundred thousand dollar
01:13bonus on being a certain level field goal percentage yeah and the last 10 games of a season for the
01:19cleveland cavaliers he refused to shoot from three because he didn't want to lose the bonus
01:24get the money i would have fired you on the spot and traded you to the worst team in basketball let's
01:30just call them the brooklyn nets yeah that well that's like that's like in baseball having a a certain
01:34percentage you know certain hitting percentage and saying hey man i'm gonna play the last four
01:37games right because i want to keep my percentage candy ass is what it is it's completely candy
01:42ass and the fact that players would even allow this the players want it exactly but what i'm saying
01:48is the fact that the players would actually lobby for this yeah how soft are you guys
