They used to call these shots "half-court" shots, which were more precise, "See the center line?" The problem with "logo threes" is that the logo is some humongous amoeba-like splotch that goes half-way to both three-point arcs.
Not Victor Wembanyama's logo three" that ended the first half last night. Nor was Wemby's a "Hail Mary", a two-handed push-heave prayer that happens to go in the way a blind man playing darts sometimes hits the bulls eye. No, neither of those. Wemby called for the ball on the right wing as San Antonio inbounded. The handler saw his impossibly long arms raised and fired a cross-court pass to him. Wemby took two or three steps and squared up--as you can see plainly in this screengrab!--like a good shooter does shooting a jumper. And he was right on the center line 47 feet from the basket when he released. As we said a generation ago, "Nothing but net." Or, as the Unicorn himself said post-game, "I was just thinking shoot to score. I wasn't messing around."
