Kyle Korver -- a shooter Cleveland Cavaliers can lean on: Bill Livingston (photos)

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio - In basketball, your shot defines you.

Golden State's Splash Brothers wrote their names in the record book, not on water. The nickname of the injured Cavalier sharp-shooter, J.R. Smith, "Swish," is his game.

Then there is the curious case of Kyle Korver, the Cavs' new sniper on the run, who sometimes leans, slopes and bends, like a blueprint of an Italian tower gone wrong.

"On a standstill shot, it's more up and down, but a little forward on those shots too," said Korver, who might incline to shoot, but often declines to miss.
