    Being a high level amateur means working at something until you get it right.

    Being a professional means working at something until you can't get it wrong.

    As a musician, I use this technique all the time. I don't leave anything until I've played it correctly at least 5 times in a row without any mistakes. If I make one mistake, I start all over again. Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.

    I hope T-mac is staying at practice long enough to see what Battier is doing.

    If anybody on that team needs to practice free throws its T-MAC!!!!!!

    T-mac needs to stop putting his feet a foot behind the free-throw line as it has dramatically affected his shooting. Also free throws are more accurate with proper knee bending mechanics to get a good bounce and rhythm to the shot. Both T-Mac and Lebron have the same problem, they use the end of the heel rather than the knee to create lift.

    I think I made 3 in a row once. I saw something on tv once that showed the guy getting the world record. I think he made like 1000 in a row or something.

    Did anyone else see this and remember the number?
