Olesani's "Bad" Form

[sioux34]

I guess nearly every one missed this attempt at humor. I saw it for what it was, I just didn't find it funny.

[imported_ankle23]

he could have started that shot in proper form and what you are seeing is near the apex and follow through.

sucked in by the troll.....

Have you seen Northwesterns all time leading scorer shoot? His isn't exactly pistol pete smooth either but it goes in the basket. That's the bottom line and other then free throws how much further out is he going to be shooting

I was still trying to get my tongue out of my cheek after my original post when I saw the responses here.

I'll let Fran and Co. worry about this topic ...

I don't get it. If this was a troll attempt, it wasn't funny. If it was serious, it was an idiotic statement. I'm a little befuddled.

I'm rating this thread a step above "Why did the chicken cross the road?" but a step below "Why'd the guy throw the clock out the window?"

I meant it as neither trollish nor serious. [To me a troll tries to make incendiary comments to rile things up.] I guess I meant it as serious in a way. I could've said:

Olesani's shot in this picture looks fundamentally sound. Perhaps his late introduction to the game of basketball gave him an opportunity to learn sound mechanics, particularly if he had already grown tall enough to be past the stage where he had to heave the ball just get it up to the basket. With his height, elevation, and form, it looks like a difficult shot to block.

I apologize to all on this board who took my initial post literally. From now on I will insert a warning before posts with a whimsical approach:

The following post is meant to be ironic, satiric, or generally humorous. On the other hand, nothing in this post is meant to be offensive, mean spirited, churlish, or mean. If one looks beneath the surface meaning, there may also be a hint of serious analysis in the post, but don't count on it.

I can't believe how many serious responses that got. Pretty funny.
