Shaq's Free Throws

Ever since I was a little boy. I've been a big Lakers fan...I had always hoped Shaq would improve his Free Throw shooting to make at least 65% but this is a fantasy. It's never going to happen. As long as Shaq is healthy and stays out of foul trouble, the Lakers should be fine. Kobe is also a great part of the team, sometimes, he takes big chances, and they don't materialize.

Lakers


when the Lakers played Portland in the playoffs last year, (or the year before) in game 7, Phil Jackson told his team to get the ball to Shaq. Portland was leading at the end of each quarter but the coach still said to get the ball to Shaq. With ten minutes to go in the game, and Portland up by ten, Phil Jackson told his team to start shooting from the outside. Shoot from anywhere. It totally surprised Portland, and the Lakers won.

Maybe phil Jackson is some kind of genius.

Thumbs up

Dear Ulysses!Glad to hear that you are a Laker fan too!I first became their fan when i watched play-offs turnaments against Pasers last year.They were great!And this young high school graduate player(Kobie)impressed me and was taking my breath away!I think he is the best player in his team anyway..
About Shaq:yes, he is a big strong guy, he gets his team 20-25 points per game, he is the king of blocks, dunks, and pushing people around, but free throws have always been his week place.Last year i was praying the referees will give fall to somebody else but ShaQ, because i knew he will not do good on it!My dad always laughes from him:"I can shoot the basket better than him , and i don't make millions!"
But hey, the good news are comming!Have you seen him playing this seasons, expesially during turnovers with Spurs?Man, he does his free throws brilliant compare to last year!I mean, i am proud of this guy!I think he really improved his skilles since last year!
