Heeyyyyyyy worrrrrrrrld…What are ya’ll up to these days? We’re on the road again. We were in Sac yesterday and are in Denver today. This trip is a long one because after that we still go to Portland for a Friday game and then we play the Lakers in La-La land next week.

Not sure if you guys saw our game last Saturday against the Hawks or last night against the Kings, but I actually tried a few jump shot. And let me say that I was robbed against Atlanta. The ball circled the rim a couple of time and thought about going in before it rimmed out. I missed both of my tries against Sac, but hey, I’m going to keep taking those shots.

Against Atlanta, it was at the end of the shot clock, so I had no choice but to jack it up. J-Will told me after the game he passed it back to me because he wanted to see me shoot a jumper. I shoot it all the time in practice and I guess my teammates just wanted me to fire one up in the game and see what happens.

Last night, I took two of them in the first quarter. And even though I didn’t make them, I think it drew the defense up for later in the game and gave me some driving chances.

Everybody on our teams wants to see me shooting more jump shots, from Otis Smith to all of my teammates and coaches. It just another way for me to score when teams are trapping me inside and sending double-teams at me.

I worked really hard on my shot this summer. I shot hundreds and hundreds of jumpers off pick and pops this summer and got really comfortable with the shot. I’m sure some of you guys have seen some of the YouTube videos of my shooting, and you could see that I was making most of them.

Otis, especially wants me to shoot a lot more. I shoot every day in practice. It’s just going to be on me. I just have to get confidence in that shot. I know I can shoot it. I can shoot it by myself, I can shoot it in practice but we’re going to have to get that same shot in the game.

My biggest obstacle, you see, is that I really hate to miss shots. I take pride in the fact that I have a high shooting percentage. You do that and it means that you are an efficient player.

So I just have to get over that concern that I might miss a few shots along the way. I really think adding that shot, like my coach Patrick Ewing, will make me better and make us better as a team. Like they say, the more weapons that you have, the more dangerous you are in a battle.

Well, I’m gonna blow outta here. Wish us luck on this roadtrip. It’s a really tough trip, and we want to get back on track. We started a long winning streak last season with a 4-0 run on the West Coast and I’m hoping we can do it again. We got a good win against the Kings last night, so we’re off to a good start so far.
