Alright, the SB article has been done for some time now, but has just been posted. Here it is:

The Truth About Shotblocking

Shotblocking: a skill that has been debated again and again throughout BB history. Despite the BB's constantly telling us that it is useful and should be trained, many have decided not to believe them, thinking they must "see it to believe it." In fact, BB-Charles even went out of his way to train SB, only to go bankrupt before he really proved anything. So what is the real deal about the skill of shotblocking? Is it useful, or necessary even? Could this be a skill that people have overlooked for seasons and seasons? I went to the streets to find out:

Good post, but i thought the supporter was someone that trained SB and had some results to show, not just theory...

Honestly it was quite easy to find someone who did not support SB, but it was pretty hard to find someone who supported SB and not just because they wanted to have a different opinion then the majority of the BB population. Also, its not like Bballin (no offense) has any evidence as for why not to train it, because I'm sure he's never trained it himself. The majority of people have no solid evidence to prove their theory, no matter which side they support. It's all a matter of opinion really.

I trained it once when I first joined, and I got an SB and REB pop. Not bad, but I think I got lucky that week.

Not sure if training one week of SB would be great evidence though, haha :D
