This is like saying you're better at golfing than Tiger Woods because you hit a hole in one at the miniature golf course. |

Honestly if my life depended on, I'm confident I could bank my way to a better freethrow percentage then Lonzo on like 25 attempts. _________________ “Life is too short. You have to keep it moving.” - Kobe |

I'm much better at FTs but keep in mind there is an entire circuit of guys on the dunk competition circuit that aren't good enough at basketball to even play at the D-1 level. |

Just for the record...
I was at my local LA Fitness at 5am with my GF after a frustrating Lakers loss last season where I think we missed 145 or 146 free throws (one or the other)....
I tell my GF, I'm going to take 100 FTs to see how many I make...
I made 82.
I'm 5'11 - 260 hashtags. (ok, 5'10 270#s). |

Probably not. But I'm betting PNP could have scored on him on 1 vs 1 |

With their conditioning and time they 'should' be putting in practice, I don't understand how these multi million dollar athletes can be weak at free throws.
these guys should be shooting well into the 80 percentile. If I had their conditioning and put the time into practice I know I could be hitting in the 80's |

Raise your hand if you've shot more threes than Simmons has in his NBA career.
great, now defend him. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

But to be a vet superstar PERIMETER PLAYER> its unacceptable.
Same goes for Zo. Get over whatever is in your head and make the da.... shot. it's FREE.
I have never been a great FT shooter because i didnt practice and refs rarely gave me the calls i deserved. so the combination of both meant i never got use to it and almost saw no reason in working on it because i was never going to the line to begin with. UNTIL, I lost my guys a couple of games bricking Ft's. from that day forward, i worked on my ft's and that never happened again. sure i had an off night. but never a brick fest where i was shooting below 70%.
GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD and make the free throws. |

Hadn't shot in about ten years. Went to a gym that just opened up in my neighborhood and the court was empty so I figured why not. Went 37/50 from the line.
