    His form sucks duh!
    He has no legs, hes basically firing the basketball with his wrist, who in their right mind would think that would work??
    You need legs or a longer stroke so you can adjust ever so slightly as your shooting, not just firing balls at the rim out of your wrist cannon.. smh

    Just because his form works in practice doesn't mean it's not bad or in need of improvement. If you've practiced free throws countless times for over a decade, you should be able to mindlessly shoot 60-65% and over that with actual focus. Clearly, focusing, too much or too little, is a problem for him, but if his mechanics were better, then his shot wouldn't be influence so much by his mental state.

    It probably works for him. In practice he shoots over 80 percent. Chances are, you can't even do that.

    I wonder why he doesn't lock his arm (or close to it) like a Dirk or KD...it's like he forgets and engages his wrist movement way too early... :confused:
