Some of the worse free-throw shooters in NBA history (Part2)
Continuing with some of the worse free throw players in the history in the NBA, we come to the 7th spot. Although some of the players in the list are included due to the sole reason of being among some of the best players but some are also due to the fact
that they were unsuccessful in the department of free-throw shooting.
The seventh spot in the list is occupied by one of the top players in the history of NBA, Shaquille O’Neal. One of the top players in the league was a great failure according to critics when it comes to free-throw shooting. This humongous player managed
only 52.7% successful shooting from the line. This is the only thing that the opponents used against this player and paid off most of the times. Easily the best and high profile players in the NBA, Shaq couldn’t match the free throw shooting with other departments
of his game.
This extravagant player’s illustrious career, however, doesn’t manage to overshadow the lack in free-throwing abilities that he had. Though he received the second highest free throws in the list with 11,121 free throws, this player only managed to make 5,862
free throws. But one thing remains a strong part of his career that he managed to make free-throws, when it comes to making it at the critical point. Shaq has managed to make successful free throws at crunching times but still he remains unsuccessful, if we
come to talk about his career.
Due to the fact that this player was more determined to win the NBA titles rather than improving, this was the reason his free throwing success rate fell as the seasons passed by. Though during his career he has managed to foul out many players due to the
fact of players regularly coming in his way, experts say that he would have been complete package, if he had good shooting from the line.
Coming to sixth spot in the list we have Reggie Evans plugged in at the spot with free throwing success percentage of 52.5%. This player is one of those in the league who couldn’t manage to come up with many free throws. Now with the Toronto Raptors, he
has to successfully manage the task of replacing Chris Bosh. This player is more popularly known for his ball grabbing incident that took place with Chris Kaman. The player comes in the list with a little worse free-throwing statistics than Shaquille O’Neal.
This player is not improving with the free-throwing abilities which alarm many around the world. This according to the critics will eventually result in him further affecting his statistics at the end of his career. Like many others on the list, the free-throw
shooting of this player overshadows the other abilities that this player has.
The fifth spot is occupied by Bo Outlaw. Bo is one of the successful forwards in the NBA, if you keep the 52.1% free throw successful shooting of this player. Spending most his time with the Orlando Magic (15 years) this player has come to be known as one
of the best defenders in the league, a supreme athlete but a very unsuccessful free-throw shooter.
But as the player himself said that he wanted to improve on the free-throw shooting statistics and continuously increase them. This according to the critics is a good sign for him but for now this player cements his place as the fifth player. During the
course of his career Bo has managed to make 1,837 free-throw attempts out of which he has been able to emerge as a success 957 times. This player according to reports is one of those who can’t improve on the statistics. Let’s not forget the fact that last
year saw him being one of the important parts of the Orlando Magic, who became the top three point shooting team record.
