Fix rondo's free throws

[arctic 3.0]

Pull a Rick Barry and shoot them underhanded.
Unorthodox yes but hey, that's rondo's m.o. Already.

The technique has been proven to work.
Never understood why Shaq didn't employ it.
Probably self conscious and though people would make fun of him for "shooting like a girl".

I say get over it. If it works do it.
Personally I think that would be the best thing ever.

TP. 

That would be kind of awesome.  I can just see it.  Rondo switches to the underhanded granny free throw, and turns into a 75% shooter from the line.

I could shoot 30% left handed.

[Celtics18]

I could shoot 30% left handed.

Me too . . . and, I'm left handed.

If anyone on here does the twitter thing and follows rondo they should make the suggestion and # him or however it works.

I'd love to see Rondo try something. As a PG, as a captain, as a leader and go to player, he MUST nail his free throws.

I can't count how many games MJ closed out with free throws under pressure. He never faltered. It was one of his best qualities. Rondo has to be able to do the same if he's going to be a winner again.

You should be the starting point guard for the Boston Celtics.

remember some guard who used to dribble the ball at free throw line almost like a game shot???
he'd go side to center a few times then take the shot in rhythm.  TP for who can remember the player, I due to age restrictions can't!!!  Was a guard from 90's I think maybe a knick??
but to me that is rondo's problem, he is over thinking
when he shoots a jumper off the dribble or a move it looks good, when he goes into a shot ala ray allen he is thinking too much
admitted obsessive compulsive guy who is ultra bb iq, i think if his brain has a chance it'll over think analyze EVERYTHING
so tp ….who was that guard?  post a video for double tp

I have been reiterating this on this forums, on other blog forums and even the neighbor kids.

The only way to fix his free throws is by completely ignoring mechanics and just let him shoot, A LOT. Screw mechanics, shoot from where he's comfortable and shoot tons. I see this from my neighbor kids a lot, they're more worried about getting the correct form of their shot instead of just concentrating on making the shot. And I tell them to just shoot and not worry about your form.

I did it when I was young and it worked for me (true story).

Just keep shooting Rondo, forget mechanics and just practice a lot. And don't be afraid to get to the line.

But then after every game he'd be making threads about how horrible he is and how he needs to be traded regardless of play.

Traded? I should be released.

When was it proven that shooting underhanded is better?  When one guy 45 years ago did it well?

  At least you should go for a buyout.

Got a image in my head of Will Ferrell doing that.

Edit: Found it!
