Maybe he'll increase his FT% if he shoots his FT with his hook shot position but keeping his feet on the ground. That'll look funny.
This might be the most illogical thing I've ever heard in my entire life. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3644779 I didn't realize the strategy was intended to involve other series that Shaq didn't even play in. I suppose if the Rockets swept the Suns by an average of 40 points per game but eventually lost to another team, it would be evidence that the Rockets' gameplan against the Suns wasn't successful?
Anybody watch Jim Rome today and Romey was making fun of Shaq when he goes " Can youuuuuuuuu dig it " ? Pretty funny stuff
sad really. the younger shaq would make them pay. shaq today can't really back that up. unless he decides to become a decent ft shooter, which he was always against for some reason. seriously, why has he been so defensive about his ft shooting. why not work on it. he's turned down offer after offer from some of the games best ft shooters to work with him. he didn't turn them down politely either.
This is made even more astounding by the fact that he makes fun of his own FT shooting in every single movie he's ever been in. Shaq is plain stupid. There was an easy solution to his shooting woes this whole time: learn to shoot FTs underhanded, Rick Barry style. He could probably be shooting around 70% if he wasn't so stubborn, saying that that style of FT is beneath him. I guess he doesn't realize that if he had been hitting his FTs throughout his career, he might've been considered the most dominant center ever.
Shaq really comes across as a whining b**** in this story. Teams will hack you until you can show them that you can make your free throws on a consistent basis.
The most dominant center ever also shot his free throws underhanded, but still had problems. Wacky as this sounds, shaq should shoot them on his knees. It will force him to create the correct arc and would increase his odds of getting a shooters touch.
Shaq is really losing it. I was becoming more and more disturbed by his comments over the last year or two but it is at another level now. Has there even been a future first round HOFer piss away his credibility and respectability faster while still playing the game? Can you imagine the type of stuff Shaq will be saying 10 years after he retires. If he is this mad and desperate about not being a superstar anymore imagine what he will say when he isn't even relevant.
The only way he gets a headline these days is when he talks out of his a$$. I'm sure the Spurs, with all the titles they have won and being so dominant for so long, are really worried about a 400 pound lump of fat.....no matter how loud is whinges.
How long has shaq been in the league? 15 years, and now he decides somebody's gotta pay for hack-a-shaq. Gawd, talk about a build up.
