Oh, but now Muggsy's 3 point shooting (and jump shooting in general)
has improved dramatically - now he is urged to TAKE the 3's!  When
he had his knee operated on a couple of years ago, he practiced
and practiced his shooting (it was OBVIOUS), and he's now a dead-eye 
from long range.  In his 97-98 season he shot .460 from the field, and
.417 from the 3 point line.  And he did play nearly a full season, 
contrary to the crap you read in the papers about his knee, so the
numbers are legit.
