You absolutely take it to the hole. You do not jack up a 30′ three.

They were only down ONE POINT when Kenny jacks up a three from the parking lot. The problem with the shot wasn’t that he wasn’t open, he was (heck, who’d be expected to guard him that far away from the basket).

The problem was, you only have one option… the shot either goes in or it doesn’t.

Drive to the basket and your options exponentially multiply: you make the shot and win, you get fouled and make the free throws and you win, you dish to an open teammate inside the paint who either finishes at the rim or gets fouled and you win, or you kick it out to a teammate whose defender collapses onto to you to help out and they get a wide open look from closer in and you win. Way to many options that include you winning, other than hoisting one up from 23′ away.
