Matt Calkins of The Columbian explores the shooting proficiency of Portland Trail Blazers forward Kurt Thomas. ---------------------------- "Who’s the better shooter from 20 feet away, you or Kurt Thomas?" Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge was asked. "Of course I am," Aldridge said. "You can even ask Kurt about that." Fair enough. "Hey Kurt, who’s the better shooter from 20 feet away, you or LaMarcus?" "That’s not even close," said Thomas, Aldridge’s 39-year-old teammate. "Of course he’s going to say he is, but I think everyone knows I can shoot the outside jumper, and I believe I show it night in and night out." It’s true. ---------------------------- I mentioned this was in the works last week and he didn't disappoint. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
