"you can shoot 99 free throws and wouldn't make one"

Yeah I saw this, hilarious.

 

Pretty funny


For the crowd that doesn't follow rap - This is a parody of Jay-Z's "99 Problems".

 

Why did they use video game footage? Was there not enough real footage of Shaq missing free throws?

 

seen it before its funny.

 

If you notice Odom is on the team and Shaq is wearing #32 instead of #34 so it might have been made somewhat recently.

 

Considering it's NBA2k7, I think it was made pretty recently...

 

For the guys that are so horrific at shooting free throws (Shaq, Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard), why don't they use the backboard. If you actually have touch on your shot then shooting for the net helps, but for these guys it seems like they should suck it up and throw it at the square. Maybe they will look less "cool", but there isn't anything more uncool than losing the game for your team over free throws.

 

Thing is for the first two you mentioned, it hasn't exactly lost them a ring. Shaq has 4. Wallace has 1. Howard still has a bright future. I believe you should try to go through any legal means possible in order to win, and if shooting granny style or using the backboard to make FTs is the way to put up more points then go for it. That said, their adaptation or lack thereof certainly hasn't stopped the above mentioned from reaping in the rewards of a ring or standing a legitimate shot at getting there.

 

I believe you're missing the point. Yes they've won rings but they can improve as a basketball player just by changing the free throw shooting mechanism. This has nothing to do with rings or not...

 

Shaq can't hit ft. That's why he always needs another guy who can take over the game for him in crunch time.

I remember Calvin Murphy said that Shaq's ft could be fixed easily. And when he did, the whole league would be in big trouble because there would be no way whatsoever to stop him. Alas, Shaq never bothered to fix it.

 

Exactly, if shaq had learne to shoot a ft than he would have been the best offensive player ever(probably close to wilt). now he needs another good scorer to win games for him.

 

Shaq and free throw story...We're lucky that Yao is shooting like Steve Nash at ft line

 

Searched this up, after seeing it on Youtube for the first time.

Pretty damn funny. Thought I'd bump it up for others who haven't seen it.

EDIT: Damnit, it's in the Unsorted Threads.

 

ROTFL!

Yeah it's pretty darn hard to make a free throw in this 2k7 game but, after awhile you get used to it and just wait for the "mid pop release" and swooosh nothing but net.
