Grant Hill holds the ball in one arm and wipes then sweat, then switches sides and does the same before shooting. Right? Something like that

Ben Wallace's airball routine is pretty original

That'd be funny if I didn't have to cringe everytime Ben Wallace shoots a FT, since his wrist can pop out at times.

I mentioned Nick Van Exel's at the beginning.

How come no responses to this guy's routine?

Are you guys buying that he feels more comfortable like he says....or is it just straight gimmick?

For me, it is nothing but gimmick..with a taste of arrogance.

If I recall correctly, Mark Jackson's "hand in the air" thing was to help him focus or aim better when he shot free throws... I remember him doing that way back when he was at St. John's...

How is anyone supposed to know and why does it matter? How in the world do you get arrogance from where he shoots the ball?

You don't think its arrogant he shoots a free throw from 18 feet instead of the given 15 feet? Why not adjust and shoot...............eh forget it. I'm arguing with jmood. Nevermind.

Re: Who's got the most gimmicky free throw routine?

I remember it being discussed on TV, when he started doing it... I just think he's more comfortable there. IIRC, it was something about him being long on more FTs when he was at the stripe... If he's a few feet back, he has more wiggle room.... It's not like he's going out and launching three pointers for free throws... I think it's just a matter of him having a comfort zone.

People read way too much into things that athletes do. Oh, you didn't need to say forget it. Since we're on a message board you could've just deleted your message. Unless of course you were just trying to be an ***.

Jmood, relax and take your happy pills. Everytime your on here you have something to bitch about. It must be that time of month, so go put your fat pants on and have some chocolate.
