The Odds aren’t good!

The odds aren’t good. Simply put waiting for an NBA player to make a free throw is a bit like waiting for the Cubs to win the World Series. It just ain’t gonna happen. At least in our lifetimes. It reminds me of one of my favorite stories. Legendary basketball coach Don Haskins, all 250 plus pounds of him, had a player who apparently thought a bit highly of himself and didn’t find his deficiency at the free throw line to be that big of a deal. Haskins challenged him to a free throw contest and let the kid go first. The kid hit a couple out of 10 or so and proudly handed old man Haskins the ball. After the coach hit his 100th in a row without a miss the kid learned his lesson. Don’t argue with the Bear. And learn to shoot free throws.

  1. Good Morning from Omaha,

    they are called “free” throws for a reason. it seems the nba is more interested in style points that don’t count on the scoreboard, the real points that do count.

    It comes back to fundamentals and it seems the big guys have skipped free throws class. Oh well they still get paid to play a childs game and they are compensated very well for their skills.

    better get off the soap box and move along.

    Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

    Gene
