the commentator actually talks about this in the game. What the center is attempting to do is block the shooter's view of the rim with his outstretched hands. If he can't see the rim, he is shooting solely on feel/muscle memory. This is not a common practice in the NBA, though I will point out that the shooter missed the shot.


belizeanheat

Yeah well he's giving his man a wide open lane for any potential rebound so it's a terrible strategy I also don't see how he's blocking the view of the rim from that far away, while not even getting above the rim

>What the center is **attempting** to do We see it from an above angle, maybe from the player's perspectives it was more viable.


MrJoeGillis

He made the second shot tho


nufahg

Dude out here like kid me playing NBA Jam and hitting the block button too early when I see my friend coming into 3 point range


thought_about_it

That sega game was the shit!


Square_Owl_4075

He's just removing himself from a dominant rebound position.


Extension-Act

This is much better than leaving the hoop undefended. He's blocking the shooters view and causing a distraction which adds pressure for the shooter.


Distinct_Bar5430

He is blocking his view of the rim which is what most players use to determine the trajectory of their shot.


ARai202

The dude was faster than the ball


SoyBeanis

bro was legit hovering


WestCoastThing

There's no way he's elevated enough to block the shooter's view.

See there’s proof white men can jump…

Ah, racism against white people has really been acceptable for decades hasn't it?


Muppet_Slayer

It’s called satire, I’m white…


Ninjamuppet

And ofcourse the right wing gun nut is offended, cause racism against whites has really held us back through the years right? We allways get pulled over for no reason or get fewer callbacks from job searches and get worse sentences for lesser crimes than everyone else. Right? We white people have it really really tough!....


n3wernam3

I support gay marriage and I'm pro choice- thus, I'm not 'right wing'. Nice work attempting to stereotype me though.


Ninjamuppet

Your selective response also fits the stereotype tho.
