9 for 12 from midrange and none of it was accidental. I love the patience on the pin away, feeling out whether the defense doubles before he even thinks about shooting.
Then out of horns they dial up a Spain wrinkle, Austin Reaves cutting underneath Walker Kessler's man to spring the back screen. Give that action credit too.
But the footwork is the real story. Lunge with the right foot, both feet off the floor to gather, lands in a split stance, lifts off the left for the Dirk fadeaway. Keyonte George never had a chance to contest that.
And he banks it in. Has to let the ball start dropping before it hits glass, that's the detail most guys never get right.
This is what an unstoppable midrange actually looks like. #shorts
