There are no lack words to be heard when a basketball player lines up a corner 3-pointer.

Some good.

Some bad.

There is a small strip of hardwood that separates shooter and seats, occupied by players or fans. It seems everyone has something to say before the shot is launched. Everyone.

It's a fascinating part of the game. Kent Bazemore, Dewayne Dedmon and Kyle Korver shared some of what goes on before, during and after the money shot in the above video and this story on myAJC.com.
