The Daily Tar Heel
—
To the average onlooker, his shot didn’t seem so special. Jackson got the ball at the top of the key and drove to the basket, stopping midway to release a floater that grazed the rim, going in and beating the shot clock. To the average eye, it seemed like a basic basketball play.
But really, this play — from the setup to the shot to the aftermath, lasting all of seven seconds — deserves acute dissection, with each individual moment containing valuable information that no Tar Heel should miss.
