Are we just going to ignore that Onuaku shoots 86% FTs underhanded?

What if he made 3/3? That's 100%. Would that be more impressive than something like 75/100 for 75%?

 

No. But that compilation of 100 underhanded free-throws would be impressive tho.

 

Negative.

 

In 2 years, he will be Capela's age. Promising draft pick. You can tell he has a good basketball IQ too, I predict he'll be a decent passer.

 

I haven't heard of anyone who shoots over 86% mocking him.

 

nope

 

We should cut DMO and bring him up

 

NBA pressure and pace effect you on the line. Tired players need to catch their breath on that first FT. Some players will think about it more while catching their breath and feel more pressure. Some just shoot them to get the pressure off.

 

Wilt shot underhand for a little while. But he stopped because, in his own words, "He felt like a sissy."

That's not all. Rick Barry, one of the best free throw shooters of all time, has tried to convince other NBA players to shoot underhand to increase their percentage. He said:

Same thing for Shaq

I don't know much about this Onuaku kid but I'm glad he's doing what he needs to do to be effective.

 

that would be awesome the day that a bonafide superstar that struggles with FTs could improve by shooting underhand and be good at it.

 

Rick Barry was a legit superstar back in the day.

 

I don't see how this is a response to what I said, but I like it

 

Oops I quoted the wrong guy

 

Lmao I stared at it for a while wondering what kind of intellectual **** you were on
