The catch-and-shoot midrange is basketball's worst shot. I've been saying this for years - if you're spotting up at the elbow, you better keep moving to the three-point line.⁣ ⁣ But dribble pull-ups? Those are different. The rhythm, the defender on your hip, the split-second decision making - that's real basketball skill.⁣ ⁣ This is why early offense works in the NBA. Take that first good look because the great shot might never come. The game has evolved past standing around at 15 feet waiting for a pass.⁣ ⁣ Charles Oakley was money from midrange, but he wouldn't be taking those shots in today's league. The math just doesn't work anymore.
