Watching a pure shooter, when the shots are falling like raindrops during a summer storm, is a picture of pure art.
Basketball fans were treated to this image last Sunday at Hiratsuka Gymnasium when Wayne Arnold, an accomplished star in the 24-team bj-league, put on a shooting clinic that ignited the Niigata Albirex BB in a runaway victory over the Yokohama B-Corsairs.
After knocking down two, maybe three picture-perfect 3-pointers, it was obvious to this observer that Arnold had his A-game that day. And there was nothing the B-Corsairs defense could do about it.
