Then you watch the college kids do it - they aren't even that successful in a layup line.
You don't realize how damn hard that game is until you get a feel for just how freakish the people that play it are.
But whatever - some dumbass that loves watching scrappy walk-ons from Indiana miss open 14 footers says that the NBA doesn't have fundamentals.

This.
Even Rajon Rondo makes warm up shots with ease. Its crazy.
But I went to my first NBA game last year. Sixers vs. Kings. No great athletes other than Evans, but I was impressed. Of all things, I think basketball translates to the tv the worst. You can't compare live basketball to watching it on tv.
