I can answer that for him.
Develop an effective and above league average three point shot.
I didnt read past that. He's got good range on his jumper. A guy who scores at 55% around the basket and you want him shooting 3's?Sorry dude fail.
The problems have never been with his game. Yes there are holes, but while he was healthy was one of the best frontcourt scorers in the league. Period. He got hurt and hasnt been a factor for the Knicks. You can either appreciate his efforts to get back on the court in whatever capacity he has left, or you can hate him because the Knicks first and only big FA signing since Allan Houston has been a flop.
But being pissed because he didnt learn to shoot 3s is some of the dumbest **** Ive ever read on the this forum, and thats saying a lot these days.
I car retort for him. In addition to Amare learning to shoot 3's at an elite level, this is also how the universe should be run:
1) Melo needed to stay in college for 4 years, spend whatever mortgage money his parents had and most of Boeheim's TV kickbacks going to Kevin Johnson's little man camp every summer, and come into the league as Magic Johnson 2 with a better jumpshot.
2) Stephon Marbury should have taken the whole Christian thing absolutely seriously, had all his tats removed, sworn off the vaseline and become the best PG in the history of the league. He would have been averaging a quadruple double for several seasons.
3) IT should have never become an NBA executive or coach, and should instead had invested himself entirely in his family, and living a quiet life promoting grade school volleyball programs.
4) Dolan would have realized at the onset that he had no business running a basketball franchise, and should have instead sold his interests in the Knicks to a venture capital group headed by Mark Cuban's mother-in-law.
5) Sprewell should have taken the 14 mil and fed all his kids. And their moms. He should have sold the boat.
6) Eddie Curry ... nevermind.
