The Kornet Kontest is probably useless, but its placebo effect is quite amusing. The Celtics’ early jump from inside to disrupt the attention of opposing shooters continues to be statistically effective, as his opponents are now 3/13 after the game against Miami last night.
It was Udonis Haslem, open at 3 points in the center of the basket, who saw Luke Kornet perform his vertical jump 3 meters from him this time. The venerable Heat veteran didn’t hit the mark and Kornet Kontest fans will be able to say that the move was once again effective.

In the end, we do not even know what is the most lunar in this action. That a guy voluntarily jumps like a bewilderment even before the opponent shoots? Or that Udonis Haslem, who was 6/61 from 3 points in almost 20 years of career, takes an outside shot in a game of this magnitude?
