Francis and Yao free throw shootout

Francis is a 80% free throw shooter
Yao is a 78.1% free throw shooter

What's the point?

 

Jay,

Whats your point?

Perhaps his point is that Francis and Yao had a free throw shootout, and Francis his 6 in a row and Yao Ming hit 32.

Just a guess.

 

Sadly, my point was to just throw out another random stat that had no point to back my question "What's your point?"

What's your point.

 

I am still wondering what my point was. I just hope the administrators won't ban us for pointless points

Nah...that's a statement. A point reflects an opinion. It's more likely that there was no point, but just throwing out a fact. Which is cool. I was just wondering if there was anymore to it.

 

the point is they are good free throw shooters, unlike jwill and shaq. yao is especially good not only because he's a big man but also his beautiful consistent stroke. every time the ball comes out of his hands you can sense it's going to go in the basket. so smooth. he's a better free throw shooter than francis; just look at the way their basketballs enter the hoop. yao's goes straight in at a higher ultitude hitting the back of the rim while francis' hits the rim and rattles in.

 

A ban wouldn't be wise in this case. What would be more effective would be a move to the Hangout, where we could discuss the point of pointless points.

 

Somewhere Calvin Murphy is laughing at both of their futility.

 

Francis: 327-409 (80%)
Yao Ming: 182-233 (78%)

 

ok, let me rephrase. yao may not have a higher free throw percentage than francis has, but he does have a better stroke.

 

not really, Steve has a weird stroke. Don't know how he shoots like that. same for Yao with the way he holds it when he shoots.. weird.

 

as long as his (weird?) stroke is CONSISTENTLY weird like reggie miller. that's fine.
