One of the best EVER demonstrates how to shoot free throws. If a player can't shoot them worth a sh*t -- like Shaq for example, why not try this method? Barry oncehad a season shooting at a .947% clip and finished with a career .900% at the line.

Shaq has gone on record as saying he would prefer to NEVER make a free throw than to shoot it granny style. it doesn't look cool enough, i guess.

it works, though. i once played an entire intra-mural b-ball season in college with a broken right hand. i couldn't shoot jumpers or free throws, so i just took it to the hole a lot (which is normally how i play anyway) and shot my free throws underhanded. i didn't miss a single one!

i guess it just shows the priorities of your ghetto "superstars"... Edited by: Jimmy Chitwood
