Missing Free Throws is Crazy
How a
professional athlete misses an uncontested shot from 15 feet away is
ridiculous. I don’t care if your 7 feet
tall, that’s less of an excuse as you’re closer to the hoop. Find a way to make it work. It's
pretty much just tucking in your elbow and putting rotation on the ball, and
some other shit with your legs.
The league
average in 2010-11 season was 75.9%. There is no reason why that shouldn’t be
in the 90’s. A missed free throw every
once in a while is acceptable because maybe it was a bad foul call and the ball
never lies. But missing every other one? C’mon Shaq! (52%)
If men can
dunk from where you’re shooting unguarded, you should make it. I’m 15 and shitty at basketball. Scored 4 points my entire freshman season. I only missed 1 free throw all
season. If I actually try at the YMCA, I can make most of them. But an athlete
that gets paid millions of dollars a year can miss ¼ of his free throws because
he’s freakishly tall? No. Go the gym and practice.
