A Conversation for The Mental Aspects of Free Throw Shooting
Actually....
Oz Referee Started conversation Sep 29, 2002
The reason that Shaq shoots free throws so poorly is based on two things (and neither of them have to do with his legs) -
1. His hands. They are so large that he has trouble putting both on the ball in a "classic" shooting style (ie shooting hand behind the ball, off hand on one side).
2. The other (and main) factor, is that when Shaq was a kid (about 8) he fell out of a tree and broke both his wrists. Apparently they never healed properly and he is therfore unable to "flick" his wrist.
Nevertheless - a really good and well written article.
