Good! And after that do you think is useful to train shot blocking?

the lessening of the "pull" effect should be more or less balanced by the decrease of the difference between actual and potential "value" (whatever that value is — salary, weighted skill sum, length of the nose, whatever).

One time, I was playing a pick-up game at my friend Eddie's house. He had a hoop nailed to the garage, and we played on the driveway. His cousin Davy was playing. Davy had colossal shot-blocking skills. He was also 5'-1". It was unbelievable, he blocked every single one of my shots. I should point out that I'm 7'-8". He couldn't even reach the top of my head if jumped. Yet somehow in a game up to 21, he managed to get 48 blocks. It didn't help that my teammates all had pitiful and awful jump shots, and my passing skill at the time was atrocious, so we had a hard time even getting shots (that we typically missed when they weren't blocked). Davy made it up to us. He bought us all sodas after the game. He could afford it with the salary he was making.
