What is it about the NBA and free-throws?

Question

Thanks for the video clip, Sidney.

Answer 1

believe me free throws is as easy as dunking ive seen many players shootand hit those with there eyes close like jordan for example

Answer 2

It's much easier to slam a ball into a hoop when your head (and shoulders) are right next to the opening.  It takes a lot more skill to toss that ball from a distance and hit the same target.  It's simple physics (as well as COMMON SENSE!).

Added after comments:

Don't get all pissy about it.  You asked WHY they have more difficulty making free-throws...you din't mention anything in your question about how they should be more proficient at it.  That's a given, but it's not what you asked...so don't be a d**k!

Answer 3

Mind Over Matter

Answer 4

i know huh

Answer 5

NBA players are more aggressive and more athletic than international players. International players on the other hand like to shoot a lot to compensate for their lack of athleticism and aggressiveness.

Answer 6

Believe it or not dunking seems to be alot easier to do than free throws,, just ask anyone that does it,,  

Answer 7

Dunking is ten times easier for an NBA player...unless your Steve Nash and do lay-ups
