Out of 100 free throws, I will hit around 45. That's a pitiful percentage if you're in the NBA. Actually, if you are a 45% FT shooter, you are not in the NBA. You can't even make the Berkeley Bulldogs (if Berkeley High School still existed, but that's another story) squad.
Of the 45 times the ball goes through the hoop and down through the net, maybe 2 of them are what I call perfect. That's when the ball misses the hoop on the way to the net, brushes dead center on the inside of the back of the net, falls to the hardwood with backspin induced by the net, and bounces twice on the way straight back to the me at the free throw line.
All 45 of them are appreciated, but those 1 or 2 "perfect" shots give me a great deal of pleasure.
How often do you shoot 100 free throws?
