    Ha, funny and all. I hate "Who's a b****" as much as the rest of you guys, but this video is completely pointless. It still doesn't explain why Shaq is so completely horrible? 6000 missed free throws? Wow oh wow.

    Tell that to Chauncey Billups. There is no one in the game I'd rather have shooting free throws in a critical game situation. I question whether fatigue has much to do with it. Free throws are most definitely muscle memory and it doesn't exactly take much energy to shoot a free throw.

    he shouldve purposely missed and ran after the girls yelling, "im kobe bryant! im kobe bryant!"

    then i might respect him a little.

    I though this would be an experiment on the science of a flop.

    I think Yao Ming has proved that you can shoot free throws even if you are tall and have big hands, though I do believe Shaq has bigger hands.

    Yao has small hands.

    That said, the "big hands" excuse is BS. It should be easier to control the ball with big hands than with small hands. The only mechanical factor that possibly might affect shooting is long arms. That's probably why smaller players are usually better shooters.
