Well they are all being paid $millions$, I would work my arse off practicing FTs to have that gig.

But lets go on on Allstar weekend to promote Slam Dunks and shooting 3 vs a women. when we need to line up and see how many FTs we can make in a row.

Wait, so you're saying All-star weekend should be nothing but free throw competitions?

Michael Jordan didn't transcend sports and become one of biggest celebrities of all time because of free throws, brah.

Why aren't people wearing Air Rick Barry's? 90% ft shooter

Even some of the notoriously bad FT shooters like Dwight Howard, shoot very well in practice. Practice is not always the issue, it’s a mental block like the yips for some

I think you may be on to something. Sorry I downvoted you in almost every comment in this thread, you deserved it, but this makes sense.

During the NBA all-star events, they should have a background contest where the best FT shooters get 100 FT shots to decide the NBA FT crown. Since that is boring TV, they keep it in the background during the 3 point contest, slam dunk contest, and skills competition while providing updates on the background FT challenge.
