JJ made a point about it on his podcast several months ago and complained about certain players (KD is the biggest offender) not doing it to preserve their FG % stat.

Just for fun, whoâs made a shot beyond halfcourt in a game and how was that experience for you?
And for those of us who havenât done it in a game, do you try/have you tried it when youâre shooting hoops?
I once made 5 large* by making a halfcourt no look shot twice in a row.

I made a halfcourt shot in a JV basketball game over 35 years ago!!! My teammates were all pretty excited as I came off the court. Our coach wasnât nearly as excited as the first thing he pointed out was that I probably had time for another dribble before shooting

Suns are going to win the West.
I was shocked when he hit two threes (one a pulll-up) in a preseason game against the Pistons because I knew his rep. Heâs a really good defensive player already. If his shot is fixed heâs a steal.
Surely no one wanted to hire his coach for our team!
Down 26 10 mins left in 2nd Q. Iâm out
come back, youâre missing them being down by 32!

Cooper Flagg, welcome to The D, buddy!
Right now, his shooting looks for real. Shooting over 40% at high volume in both preseason and regular season. Heâs already a great defensive player so to get a 3 and D role player at a discount is a steal for the Suns.
Super ugly game for the Pistons. But, Ron Holland did attempt a 50-foot heave, so thereâs that!

Life comes at you fast when youâre -11 in turnovers
Dinos will make a run. Barnes out for a few weeks Olynyk out for a few weeks. Quickley has missed a few games. They donât play a lick of defense.
They started the game this way: 28-10, with 4:08 to go in the 1st. Weâve got 5 turnovers, they have 0. Theyâre shooting 69%, weâre shooting 39%. Theyâve hit 3-4 3âs. Weâre 0-4. And Ivey had 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes.
