You Can Bank On This

Late congratulations to the Miami Heat on their NBA title. I
did watch the clinching game. I'm very glad Alonzo Mourning's
belief, patience, and hard work were so well rewarded, and I'm
a big fan of the prototype blue collar player, ex-Gator Udonis
Haslem.

Of course Shaq is always entertaining even if he still can't hit a
free throw. Our local paper carried a story where Pat Riley said
Shaquille has worked with hundreds of shot coaches and sports
psychologists during his career. He's had some improvement at
times, but he's in a slump now.

I bet he hasn't tried Stan Kellner's "Ultimate Shooting Method"
though because what Stan does is in a league by itself. Not that
other shooting coaches aren't great and don't have a lot to impart.
It's just that I don't think people are getting what Stan teaches
anywhere else.

I hate to keep teasing you with it because it's still not quite out
yet, but I just can't stop thinking about it. BTW, if any of you out
there have a connection with Shaq I'd like to send him Stan's
DVD when it comes out. Let me know.

Back to the Heat. I'm also a big Dwayne Wade fan. Ever since he
dropped a triple double on a good University of Kentucky team in
the NCAA regional finals in 2003 I knew he could play. I didn't
think he'd mature in the NBA as fast as he did, but he has
certainly arrived now.

One thing I noticed though. The man shoots bank shots better
than anybody I can remember. He had some works of beauty off
the glass. Is that something you work on in your practice time? I
would highly recommend it after seeing Wade work his magic vs
Dallas.

Happy Independence Day for those of you in the United States,
and let freedom ring everywhere in the world.

Shoot for the Stars,

Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops

P.S. Don't forget about John Wood and his Captains of Crush hand
grippers. I am seeing a difference in my personal shooting practice.
The stronger my hands feel, the more confident I feel. If you're an
athlete, stronger hands will benefit you many, many times over.
Maybe your hands are fine the way they are, maybe not. Only
you can tell. To make an informed decision though check out :
