the problem with him is he doesnt always stay square to the basket. last night they showed a shot from straight behind him and he was leaning to the left and his right arm was coming all the way across his body... guess what he missed it. i dont understand why alot of players never stand square to the basket (one foot behind them, so they are standing sideways) watch the mavs take FTs almost every single player has their feet shoulder width apart straight under them, staying square to the basket and guess what their the best FT shooting team in the league.
You know what this means right? If you could combine the two, you would have Juwan Hayes and a 26.1 PER superstar!!
Yeah, I agree. Three months and you come up with that?!?!?!? They must've been smoking weed while they were stroking free throws cuz that is plain atrocious. On another note, look for Hayes PER to take a big upswing now that Yao is back in the lineup.
At least that narrows it down, I didn't remember what game it was. Someone needs to find this, it's too funny to lose.
Chuch Hayes lately though, has been leaning into his free throws right at that hitch it the shot, and now the refs have been calling lane violations on him as he has to catch himself from fall, because he is leaning so far forward. I think it happened twice in the last game. That basically negates all the good lane vioations he gets... Hayes needs to get over it and shoot them Rick Barry style underhand. Hayes could be the guy to bring it back, imagine if he were an 80% FT shooter. HAYES please go granny style. bring it back. call jon barry's dad now.
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned that Juwan used to have a very similar hitch in his free throws. The form was much better, but there was still an awkward delay before the release. I think he got rid of it about 5 years ago.
Not exactly, he fools our own guy as well, it was Shane last game at the 2nd lane violation. Very entertaining part of rockets game.
