By the way, anyone in their late 20s notice that no one shoots midrange J's anymore? I feel like I'm playing a totally different game. These kids be like, I have an open 10 footer, nah f'that, I'm going to drive into this guy even tho he's like 8 inches taller than me because I only take layups and 3s.
I feel old. But my midrange game be tight, yo.

I play pickup at college and NOBODY takes midrange shots. I'm a huge "offender" (if you can call it that), but I'm really good at driving, and I feel just as comfortable pulling up from 3 as I do from 10-15 feet.
Then I come home and play in a game where there's one kid my age (20), a couple guys fresh out of college, then everyone else is in their 40's and 50's. That game is played all 1's, but I'm like the only one taking 3's (TINY court, it's really hard getting to the rack). It's crazy.
