Lowe: Cowards are afraid of shooting percentage dropping by 0.1%, and they should learn from Curry&JR

According to previous reports, the NBA will implement a new rule in the 2025-26 season: long-range shots in the final stage of the quarter will only be recorded as team's missed shots and will not be counted as individual shooting percentage. In other words, such long-range shots will no longer affect the player's personal shooting percentage, but will still be counted as a team's missed shot. Recently, famous reporter Zach Lowe talked about this on the podcast show "The Zach Lowe Show".

Lowe said: "I hate this setting very much. Now some timid guys are afraid of shooting 0.1% or 0.01% and they are afraid to take bold moves at critical moments because they are afraid of shooting 0.1% or 0.01%, but they can easily escape the blame. With this rule, those timid players just laugh. I like to expose these players, and I like players like Stephen Curry, JR Smith and Pritchard, who will try to shoot wildly without hesitation, even if there is only 0.1% chance. On the contrary, some players pretend to shoot just after the game, trying to make others think they just didn't notice the time. I hate this behavior very much. The NBA should not tolerate these timid guys."
