I'm sure we will have plenty of these to post. This one at least looks intriguing he certainly doesn't look like he is a middle schooler shooting anymore. Lol

Ah yes, 'tis the season of workout videos.

"It looks like Ricky has grown another two inches!"

"Yeah, I think he's got more muscle too!"

"I think he can dunk now!"

The irony is that the shots he was making in that video are probably the worst shots in basketball - contested pull-up Js off the dribble. Let Zach LaVine take those! Ricky should only take that shot if the shot clock has one second left on it and his four team mates have suddenly been abducted by aliens.

Catch-and-shoot 3's, catch-and-shoot 3's, catch-and-shoot 3's....

This shots are useful for when his defender is backing off and dares him to shoot. Ricky stops and pops a J. The disrespect needs to stop. Make them press up on you, Ricky.
And I doubt Ricky is gonna be nailing such shots over big long NBA defenders. But when he's being ignored he needs to cash on these open shots off the dribble.

I am actually fine with him pulling up and shooting when going left. I think it his most comfortable shot.

A little off topic, but do you guys remember when espn was at Terrell Owens' home taping him working out in his driveway? I think that's around the time I dropped my cable.

This reminds me of the moment when I was done with Dante Culpepper as a Viking. The team sent people to see how his knee rehab was doing and he was working out I am Walmart parking lot.
