Ever got hot shooting the ball?

You guys can tell me your stories about when you've gotten hot or on a great streak shooting the basketball. Anyway, got home from practice not too long ago, training in our indoor gymnasium, my team the 16A's & B's on one of the two courts, the 1sts & 2nds on the other.

Anyway, we''re training away, and I feeling it a bit, so anyway, we're doing continuous 3 on 2 with an outlet and anyway, in the last two possessions I hit two straight shots a few inches inside the three point line.

We finish the drill, get a drink and so some of us are having a bit of a shoot around. I launch one trey, swish. I launch a second, swish. Ok, no big, i've hit more than 2 straight before. My third, swish. My fourth, swish. Farout, this is actually getting good. Anyway, I hit 3 more straight and finish hitting 8 straight triple's, my new personal best.

That's pretty good, because I'm definately not known as a 3 point shooter, I can hit one if I'm wide open but generally I play mainly SG and limited time at PG and SF, but I'm more of a short-corner, mid/range shooter who slashes, not your spot-up perimeter shooter.

Anyway, then we scrimmage against the B's, I hit 5 straight shots from about a meter behind the short corner (we're running a basic zone offense and we're generally not meant to shoot baseline 3's) so I've got 10 points on 5/5 shooting. This is all in the span of about 9-10 minutes as we're just playin offense and transition, goin straight up and down the court. Anyway, I miss one jump shot, and finish with 3 layups.

All in all we smashed them (not that we were taking score) and I finished with 16 points on 8/9 shooting.

Anyway, just my little story, was really feeling it in training today, pretty happy!

the other day I hit 91/100 FT's...that was nice...included a 28 in a row streak

my best "hot streak" was when I was 18 - I made 10/10 threes in the second half leading a come back...I ended up 14/20 for the game, scored 54 points and we still lost.

I canned 47/50 FTs at our old School once.
Got back into the local roster games, and missed my first 5.... lol

ahhahaha damn Trey, way to show me up!! But I guess you've been far and wide, and had a great career, I'm still in the runnings!! 8/9 three's, not too bad!!

good job jimbo you gotta love it when you get hot.

my most memorable was in a game college game in canberra, my first 6 points were free throws and then went 12 of 12 from the floor including 3 from 3 point land, i ended up with 37 points with a few more free throws.

we did lose the game just like trey's effort(by 1 point)but i hit a half court heave at the end of the game that would have won it for us, but the ref called it no good as it was after the buzzer

we argued the call for about 5 mins and gave up as the ref was not going to budge, even all the guys on the other team thought it made it in time, but the guy that counts didn't think it made it.

ahhhhh memories

hahahaha maybe MEMORIES for youu.. but i've got many years left to make memories withh! hahaha. not implying anything.

i'm not that old mate, it's not called old age, it's called experienced

My personal favourtie was yr 10 when I hit 5/5 in the second half to bring the game back by being down 25 at half time, 2 of the shots were triple teamed about 2ft out from the arc, we still lost but only by 3.

My best would have been 2 years ago at Lords when I hit 9/10 behind the arc.

nice stories everyone

@trey
daaamn , nice story

i am here in germany and we do not have high school or college teams. but we have different legaues of ages. anyways...i am a 3 point shooter, i have won 3 point contests 4 times (3 in croatia, 1 in germany) and i can get really hot ..i am a good shooter from everywhere.
i remeber that i had to work on a day when we have a game. i finished the work and did my best to get to my team as fast as i can. ..well, i came at the end of the 3rd quarter. i put my jersey on and everything , i knew that i would not get it, but it could be possible cause we were only 7 players on that day. well, a player got fouled out and i got in for him. it was 2 minutes before the end of the game and it was close..really close..they were up with 2. i have not taken any shots before that, did not warm up..nothing..i was cold...-well , in the first offense of us, i get the ball. i was standing about 1 metres away of the 3 point line.- i have no idea what i did there..we were behind with 2 points, i was standing a good metre behind the 3 point line and i shoot. SWOOOOOSH! its crack! beeee*tch ! (i had that jordan - kobe "give me the ball and see what will be" feeling in the last 2 minutes) , on the next offense i got again the ball and made a 2 pointer incl. a foul.
its a long read for 2 minutes but that is something i remember very well, to come very late to the game and finally also had the chance to win the game with 6 points in the last 2 minutes .

hahaha croatintwins- you superstar mate! way to take over the game!! KOBE-esque!!

ive been in pretty good form lately...getting good balance on my set shots...had a game tonight

went 6/6 3's in the second half until I got subbed out, then went 1/2 when I checked back in

turned a close game into a blowout!
