Hoopla over Dave Hopla

It seems safe to say he owns the highest shooting percentages of anyone on an N.B.A. payroll.


Even Gilbert Arenas would not dare to challenge him to a 3-point contest.

Dave Hopla, a Washington Wizards assistant, is a 6-foot bundle of energy with graying hair, a slight paunch and a rat-a-tat-tat patter.

He also can put the basketball in the hoop, over and over and over again.

“I’m an out-of-shape, 50-year-old guy,” he says proudly, “but give me an open shot, and I’m going to knock it down.”
