18 Years in the league and he still sucks from the free throw line. I hear there are instructors for the pros that will help you improve your % from the line. Maybe Shaq can't afford to spend the extra dough.:lolBIG:

0 for 4 tonight so far.:modemman:

Did you expect this to change?

Try having his physique, we will see if you can be Rick Barry.

All the Amber Lamps in the world is not going to help that guy's FT shooting. It's just how it is.

So you are saying that all big dudes can't shoot FT's?

I used to watch him in High School when he played at Cole High and took them to the State Championship and he shot a higher % of FT's back then.

Shaq has had a very good career but he's one of those athletes that has relied on a lot of natural talent. I don't think he's worked very hard to improve his game over the years. He would rather do commercials and have fun than work on his free throw shooting. It's that simple. He could improve his free throw shooting if he worked on it but I don't think he really cares. He's got championship rings and a lot of cash so I don't think you'll see him taking extra free throws after practice.

The Cavaliers missed 17 free throws tonight and that's why this team won't go anywhere. Shaq is hideous from the free throw line and Lebron James is a lousy free throw shooter also. The Cavaliers have lost a lot of games over the last few seasons because they can't shoot free throws.

It seems like it's not "En Vogue" to be a good free throw shooter these days.

Probably seems nerdy or something.

Didn't he have a wrist problem at some time also? I think he has a hitch in his delivery because of it.

I agree, no discipline, all God given talent. His ability to carrier his weight and how much coordination he has for his size is amazing.

That is true. Because there have been some other guys with a similar build just didn't have that type of coordination like you say.

I can't remember the guy's name big dude from Western Kentucky a while back. Built almost exactly the same way. Just didn't have it though.
