I am biased but Joe Johnson's jumpshot always looked effortless.

It’s true for all the Aubies that just started watching basketball this year.

Auburn has been through a number of successful periods, including Mengelt early 70s the late 70's Stan Pietkavich/Eddie Johnson/Gary Redding/Rich Valavicius through Barkley/Person Chris Morris 80s, Chris Porter Late 90s early 2000s and now the current one.

I have been a huge AU BB fan since those late 70s at which time I had likely forgotten more about basketball than you have ever known

Looking like a solid reason why you refer to each other as pigs

If we're bringing up former SEC players...

Alan Houston - Smooth as silk shooting the ball. Not as tall at 6'6" as Jabari but an incredible player.

There are several others from back in that era (Todd Day for example) that were really smooth both handling and shooting the ball.

Auburn fans are just like every other fan base. If you put a decent product on the court, they will show up. In the past three coaches were able to find some success but not maintain it. Davis, Smith and Ellis all had periods of success and the fan support was as good as anywhere. Bruce is the only one who built it up and has been able to sustain it. With the help of the Auburn Arena and the student body he can make sure it lasts. Those who claim their programs fans support their programs through thick and thin are lying to themselves or just stupid.

Larry Bird.

The shot’s a lot prettier when it’s nothing but net, and bird was just death if you left him open.

It didn’t matter all that much if you were covering him either.

He might be one of the most hated players in college, but JJ Redick has to up there with some of the best when it comes to form; always getting his feet and shoulders square with the basket.

Old school SEC only Pete Maravich Dale Ellis Kyle Macy If I were teaching a kid to shoot free throws, I would have him mimic Macy. Absolute perfect form.


The Rifleman had a very pretty jumper and textbook form. Forgot which team he played for tho.

ETA - POS.
