    For the amount of money these NBA players make.........

    You'd think they could make a free throw. Some of these free throws attempted tonight have been absolute bricks.
    I'm over 40, but I bet you I could hit an uncontested set shot from 15 feet at least 7 out of 10 times.
    I know I could.

    How hard is it to make an uncontested 15 foot shot?

    run around the gym 10 times and then step up to the line. 70% becomes much harder.

    and they didnt get paid millions to make free throws so why learn after they are already paid

    Really? So you're saying it's a conditioning problem? These same guys that are running around the gym 10 times are knocking down 3's, but they can't make free throws? I'd knock down at least 80%. Matter of fact just for kicks I shot 30 ft's at the gym last week and made 28.

    The modern NBA is made up of largely runners and jumpers, not shooters

    No WHITE GUYS = MISSED FT'S. Thats what happens when the nba teams dont have white guys on thier teams.

    Whats the bigger question is why the thunder have not pushed the ball on offense and ran. That is thier game. Not this b.s walk up court and slow the game down.

    Actually I'm 38. Never said anything about 70% from 3 point land, but I've sure seen guys get red hot down the stretch after "running around the gym 10 times." It's hardly an excuse to miss free throws.
