Joel Embiid Learned How To Shoot By "Watching Regular White People" Stroke

SI - “You know how I learned to shoot?” Embiid said, per Jenkins. “I watched white people. Just regular white people. They really put their elbow in and finish up top. You can find videos of them online.”

Why, yes, JoJo. “You People” can find videos of “Them” online. But I kid, just as Joel is (probably) kidding here. It’s hilarious. But is he really that wrong? Other than Larry Bird having a little thumb to his shot, your typical honkey has got the flow down to a T. Why? Because that’s all we got. Pistol Pete. Kyle Korver. Jimmy Chitwood. All fundamentally sound with their shot. Just take a look at some regular white people around the office. We can stroke with the best of them. Kmarko’s shot is WET:

Shocked the gym didn’t flood with those buckets. And I’m no slouch myself:

I shouldn’t sell myself short, but I’m a tremendous slouch. But the fundamentals are still (kid of) there. But the point stands. Everyday crackers have the perfect shot. Even Pres can chime in with decent flow:

Eh, maybe not. In his defense that hunchback is difficult to straighten out for a good shot.

PS – Tex also doesn’t represent our kind.
