They have to change it where's its FT and ball. It's a joke to keep doing it
or NBA players could learn how to make free throws. That big hand excuse is basura too. My hands are bigger than a lot of theirs. I would like to see them shoot them 1 handed if they can't do it like a regular jumper, just palm or rest the ball and it's an easy flick of the wrist and minimal elbow extension since it's just 1ft. Arruajo is the only guy I have seen who does it
under hand, but dudes have too much pride

Or jump, I seriously wonder why dudes dont just jump. 

The next time the rules committee meets, thats going to get fixed though, and hopefully they fix the clear path foul and the stuck ball rule.
 
i believe he's a FA after this season

We still need a player like Jack to run point and play almost starter mins. If you get rid of him, who do you run at point or better yet, pick up? Let's not forget he was a big reason why we were pretty successful this season
 
is underhanded really easier? I have never tried. 1 hand is. It's how I used to practice jumpers anyways, helps isolate if your guide hand is causing your misses plus muscle memory

why do you guys think a 7 footer with no touch is going to make underhanded shots at a higher rate than shots they've practiced their whole lives? because rick barry did it? im actually curious.

That and I've seen little kids have success doing it.

More of an ark can get a soft bounce. Instead of the line drive most big men shoot which has no shot at getting a shooter's roll

I don't think underhand is easier. I've tried it. Feels unnatural to me.

Eric Maynors a FA this off season. Come off season Jack is going to ask for double digit money and IDK if the Dubs are going to pay it, I really dont. He can easily get the money elsewhere so it'll be interesting to see what he does. Plus he still clearly feels that hes a starter which he in fact is, and who knows if his ego can handle not starting even though he finishes every game which IMO really matters.

friendlier/softer roll

You were probably just getting into basketball when the underhand shot was the preferred way of shooting 

sorry I had to get that one in

And just like that he makes a beautiful, crisp pass to Barnes cutting. Off the dribble with the left hand, sexy
 
You're not getting more touch or soft rolls/bounce on an underhanded shot from 15ft away compared to a normal, soft high arching 15ft shot just with no guide hand. Underhand you damn near will have to swish it




:lol: at the Lakers bench being amazed
