Tank McNamara by Bill Hinds for March 22, 2021

Heh. Got a point there.

I was thinking that before I got to the last panel.

The best are only about 40% successful at the long range so it is no sure thing. But it’s pretty exciting when they drop one at a key moment.

For those of us who studied physics in high school, the 3-point shot is the ultimate in excitement. Google: Science News Basketball: The physics of the 3-point shot

Raise the basket to 12 feet.

Seven foot men dunking was the reason for the three point shot.

Is that third-frame-man (I don’t recognize him from real life, but he’s drawn in Bill’s caricature style rather than cartoon style, so I think he’s someone I should know) on the screen over Tank’s left shoulder in frames one and two?

Who is that guy in the third panel?

Dunks should only count one point. Seen one seen em all.

NBA basketball is boring! College hoops can be more exiting – especially women’s college basketball. Go UConn Huskies!

That’s what turned me off to the NBA.

I think both those shots and the lack of defense makes the NBA boring.

Naismith put the hoop a certain distance above a tall man — who was about six feet tall then. Nowadays, they should raise it a foot and a half to make the game as interesting as it used to be.
