The media (and many coaches) has criticized players, and basketball in general, for years because the cool kids only wanted to do tricks or dunk. Jimmer Mania captured college basketball’s attention based largely on his propensity for pulling up from 25-feet and hitting daggers. Last night, Kevin Durant received the crowd rushing the court treatment at Rucker Park after hitting his pull-up jumpers.
Maybe making buckets is cool again.
