    Doc Rivers and Dennis Johnson had interesting free throw shooting rituals.
    Doc would do a knee bend squat right before shooting and DJ would bounce the ball with his left hand while wiping his forehead with his right wrist band. Then rotate the ball several times before shooting.

    Wilt Chamberlain actually never attempted dunking his free-throws in a game situation.
    Wilt Chamberlain stated himself and, furthermore, Tex Winters described how Wilt Chamberlain was doing it in practice... just like Ralph Sampson did it in the all-star game a few years ago. The video is available on CZcams.
    Great video as usual.

    Michael Jordan in the first season or two seasons of his career shot about a foot behind the free-throw line. Not because he was super confident, but because he felt more comfortable in that spot than he did at the line.

  • @nb2481
    @nb2481 Před 5 lety

    Patrick Ewing used to up- fake his free throw to try to get the opponents to cross the line early. Then it just became ritual and everyone knew it was coming. Another player, back in the eighties or early nineties, used to pinch his fingers on his shooting hand and point them at the basket. Like trying to pinpoint his shot. Quite odd. If anyone knows his name, let me know.

  • @jonnybaze
    @jonnybaze Před 6 lety

    How about a rule for bad free throw shooters, namely the bigs. Instead of 2 shots you get 1 but you can cross the line, must stay in the top of the key semicircle, and no rebound. The opposing team just inbounds after the try.
