    What I don't understand is how you he's in the NBA and he still doesn't have a jumpshot.

    My favorite part is how BW always talks about how they worked so hard to fix the hitch during the summer and it always looks the same.

    Focal dystonia

    Focal dystonia is a neurological condition affecting a muscle or muscles in a part of the body causing an undesirable muscular contraction or twisting. For example, in focal hand dystonia, the fingers either curl into the palm or extend outward without control. This is thought to be caused by misfiring of neurons, causing the contractions. Although the condition expresses itself in a body part, it is believed to originate in the sensorimotor cortex, a thin layer of neural tissue covering the brain that is essentially a "map" of the human body. Under normal conditions, discrete body parts (such as the individual fingers) occupy their own specified areas on the sensorimotor cortex. Brain imaging technology has revealed that these areas become "blurred" on the cortex of an individual with dystonia. Thus, the brain cannot effectively differentiate the distinct digits, and errant nerve impulses--telling the wrong muscles to contract--ensue. While usually painless, there are some instances when the condition does indeed cause pain for the patient--usually through sustained contraction and abnormal posturing. Focal dystonia most typically affects those who rely on fine motor skills - musicians, writers, surgeons, etc.[citation needed] It is generally "task specific," meaning that it is only problematic during certain activities.

    Focal dystonia has been identified as the cause of a common affliction in the game of golf known as the “yips”. The yips are most commonly associated with putting...

    I'm here..

    Chuck didn't have that big of a hitch when he started at UK, by his senior year it was pronounced. I don't know if it was Tubby's coaching staff or the change in his physique that caused it.

    I think at this point he's been so raked over the coals for it that it is psychological.

    Maybe instead of physically practicing free throws he should mentally see himself shooting a bunch before each game.

    I know that sounds hokey, but it worked for a couple of high school teams that I know of. Sort of like pre game meditation. For ten minutes before each game they visualized making their shots, free throws, three pointers, and things like great passes threading through the defense. They increased their percentages significantly and it helped them get over the hump of multiple losses. (I will have to see if I can find the articles about it - it was in the early nineties! LOL)

    Poor Chuck just needs to relax!
