Anyone see Dan Majerle's shots on TNT

[DarrinS]

Dan Majerle, in the Suns/Lakers pre-game, made a one-handed 3 pointer off glass from the sideline at about halfcourt. He then sat in a chair and lobbed the ball over his left shoulder and made a 3 off glass on the other basket.

Holy shit. I wish I had a link to the video, because that was freakin amazing. And Barkley was saying he [Majerle] used to do this all the time.

Who's that guy?

Seriously, I dont know the dude. :toast

[DarrinS]

Played with the Suns. Had a career 3pt average of 43.1%. Not too shabby. He was a pretty good defender, if I remember correctly. That Suns team was good, but they just ran into a Bulls team that was better.

[bdictjames]

Ok thanks.

The only ex-Sun I know is Charles 'Krispy Kreme' Barkley.

He must have been a show-off, maybe wants to sign with Dallas and join his buddy Willis. :lol

My bad, I meant ex-Sun during the 90s.

JK and KJ just slipped my mind.

I have it DVR'd ... if I could figure out how to get it to my PC I'd YouTube it, I couldn't find it there yet.

Damn. I have a DVR and I didn't record it. I just laid there on my couch in stunned silence. Clearly, it would have taken waay too much effort to hit the record button. Besides, I didn't want to spill my beer.

[DarrinS]

I just looked up a stat on Dan Majerle that is pretty amazing.

In 1992-93 season, the season that they went to the finals and lost to the Bulls, Dan played all 82 games, averaging 39 minutes per game.


By the way, the Suns had a 62-20 record that season (league best).

trade beno + Barry for majerle?

He's too young for the Spurs. :lol

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

He's also one of the tannest bastards to ever play in the NBA. When the Suns would play the Jazz he looked like a carrot standing next to the pastiness that is John Stockton.

Thunder Dan was the shit.

Have to correct myself. 43.1% was his FG%. Carreer 35.8% for 3PT.


3 current Suns are in top 12 for career best 3PT%.

1 Steve Kerr .4540
2 Hubert Davis .4409
3 Drazen Petrovic* .4374
4 Tim Legler .4312
5 Steve Nash .4256
6 B.J. Armstrong .4240
7 Ben Gordon .4182
8 Leandro Barbosa .4181
9 Wesley Person .4176
10 Kyle Korver .4126
11 Raja Bell .4119

They are going to show those shots on Around the Horn. Damn that over his head shot was awesome.Tan Majerle was the man

[jmard5]

Who's that guy?

3 pt shooter...

[sa_butta]

[Despot]

Have to correct myself. 43.1% was his FG%. Carreer 35.8% for 3PT.

He may have been 35% for his career at the 3 pt line, but seems like he was 85% from 2 feet or more behind the three.

[phxspurfan]

Anyone see that dunk cedric ceballos made with a blindfold? lets call him!

To add to this, Kerr and Wesley Person were drafted by the Suns while Legler went undrafted, but got his start with the Suns. I guess you can say that Phoenix knows its shooters.

BTW, I truly believe that, when all is said and done, Barbosa will finish top-5. That kid is freakin' good and he's as good off his own dribble as he is spot up off a pass from Nash. Sometimes, in fact, I believe him to be better off the dribble than spotting up. His off the dribble three has helped to stretch the floor when Nash is out, because they now play the screen-n-roll byond the arc.

[LakerLanny]

Do you know how much trim Thunder Dan must have got in the 90s in Phoenix?

My guess is it makes even a lady's man like myself look tame in comparison.

[DudleyDawson]

Awesome shots. Doing it in one take is what's so impressive.
