missing free throws is lame....i finally got mine to fall consistantly...got my form going.....and i don't get paid to do it........i do it..AFTER work, so how can nba guys miss sooo many,...?
Run suicides then take them, then run suicides then take them, then do it over and over and see how quick the form disappears. Shooting fouls after work just standing there without running just isn't the same as playing and shooting them.

Case in point. Rondo hitting unreal three point shots in a game of horse but can't hit them at 30% during games. Different atmosphere, different effort and fatigue factor, etc.

When I coached, I had my kids run suicides, shoot 5 foul shots, run more suicides, shoot more foul shots. To a kid they all said it was the best way to practice the mental discipline you need to shoot shots in a game atmosphere.
I'm actually really good at that tbh. I practiced an entire summer, 500 freebies a day, in sets of 5: for ever miss, I walked the court once. My percentage went up from 25 (yea, I know, I had only just started playing :p) to 75% :D

Been screwing up my shot technique last summer though, back to 50%. Still best on our team mefinks.
Had this kid that had been told he was a superstar player since he was 8 or 9. I had him at 14. So he said he was a 85% FT shooter. So I bet him he wasn't. He shot 22 out of 25.

Then I said let's replicate a real game and try it. I had him run a full set of suicides then shoot 5 then another full set another 5 and so on.

He hit 11 of 25 that way.

At the end of the year doing them my way, he was up to 80% and he thanked me. Kids playing DII ball now and is pretty decent but shoots his FTs at 90%.

I'm a proud ex coach ;D

He's a free agent that Miami almost HAS to renounce too. He would look great in green.

You could think Terry doesn't see anything with his mask but the guy can't miss!

Hahaha, I coached a handball team, I know the feeling man. It's great to see your "kids grow"! :D Very rewarding! Especially when they thank you like that ;)

I was talking about ingame percentage though, I don't count anything when I'm not in the game ;)

Seriously? That'd be absolutely awesome. He could be grand for us!

.edit: dear Dirk (not talking about Nowitzki here, but me) - please don't make such dumb posts anymore. Thank you.

Perk has been a lot better at finishing lately. Good to see.

I would have no problem trading Baby for a wing so that we could sign Haslem using the MLE.
