Free throws are actually not nearly as hard as professionals make them seem to be. They are quite easy in fact. I never understood how NBA players can have such a difficult time shooting free throws. It is a 15 foot shot, from straight ahead, with no defenders, and no time limit. How are professionals still shooting 60-70%. The free throw line is sometimes called the charity stripe because they are intended to be easy points for the offense. However, the "recession" seems to be affecting the NBA's charity line too. I'm not even going to discuss the shooting in college basketball. It makes me cringe just thinking about it. Most teams shoot below 70% from the line, and last year's runner up Memphis Tigers shot a combined 61% and even lower in the tourney. God Freakin Damn It!!
I can make 90/100 free throws on a consistent basis. I have a friend who once hit 104 straight free throws back in high school. Both of us have the special touch associated with European players, but even so just a little practice and a little concentration can make anyone a 75% free throw shooter. Don't think so?
1) Take a basketball
2) Put it in your hands exactly like Steve Nash is doing above
3) Bend your legs before you shoot
4) Make 75% of your free throws
Unless you're basketball retarded, it's that fucking easy
