KAT emulates Mullin
« on: May 16, 2017, 02:53:30 PM »
Who says young kids don't know who Mullin is?

Q. Who do you emulate -- take parts of his game to make them your own?
A. I've watched a lot of people. Tim Duncan. Kevin Garnett. Hakeem Olajuwon. Sam Perkins. Len Bias. I've watched a lot of people play. But I'm still finding different ways I can score and make the game easier on myself. I know we're talking bigs, but I'm also a huge, huge fan of Chris Mullin, his efficiency, his smoothness, his ability to score. He's so smooth with everything, very efficient, and that's a key I like to have in my game. Doesn't miss many shots. And if I'm correct he leads the NBA all-time in field-goal percentage. Don't waste any possessions. Any shots you take, don't waste them. Make them all. I just love the way he played. It was so team-oriented. Not to miss -- that's a great way to help the team out.

Not taking a shot. Hoping he can take that next step in his coaching evolution too. Remains to be seen. Next year is critical.

Not taking a shot! Only an idiot would think you were not taking a shot at Coach Mullin.

Nice to see the kid in touch with those before him...

I did check because his stat on Mullin being all time FG% leader seemed off..

 Mullin is ranked 89th NBA all time for FG%, (50.89%)

http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/fg_pct_career.html

and 43th for Effective Field Goal % (53.97%)

I wonder how many of those 88 players were shorter than Mullin. Really impressive for a sg.
*wipes ketchup from his eyes* - I guess Heinz sight isn’t 20/20.

Still better than Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.

No, no, no, no, no. You insulted him a little bit.
