The thing is to his credit, he could care less and isn't obsessed with these things and is willing to take that chance even though it tends to cause more statistical harm than good.
I actually don't agree with this. In fact, I think it's a bit of a cop out.

The amount of half court shots Vs the amount of regular shots he misses wouldn't be enough to seriously effect his fg%.

I mean, he shot 7/20 last night. How many of them were from half court? Were 6 or more of them from half court, because that's how many there would have had to have been for him to have a 50% night from the floor.

Know what I mean?
