Hey sports is about exploiting weaknesses, how many times have you seen a shitty rookie corner get throw after throw against him.

Howard's free throw shooting is a huge weakness and nobody could know that better than the Orlando Magic where he bricked free throws worse than Ray Charles on a nightly basis. What you should be asking yourself is how the penetrate can a guy shoot 46.5% free throws and get paid 20 mil a year. Just fouling him on every possession is essentially a "win" for the defense as holding the Lakers under a point per possession is a success
