Can someone explain how having a bum ankle affects standstill free throw shooting?
When you shoot, you raise your whole body, from the feet to the chest a little bit so that you can be closer to being in line with the basket, to gain more precision..
Ray has bone spurs on his ankles and every time he does that it causes pain that affects his release, so that's the reason behind his poor FT shooting.
By poor, I mean poor for him.
