Free Throw Shooting Form Of Some Of The Best Shooters In The League
A while back, I looked at some of the worst free throw shooters in the NBA and tried to identify what the problem was with their forms. Well, it occurred to me that I never took a look at the good free throw shooters in the NBA. Well, today I am going to take a look at some of the best free throw shooters in the NBA and their forms and picking out the similarities in each of them (sort of what I did with the three point contest last season).
The shooters we are going to look at today are:
- Steve Nash – 93.8%
- Dirk Nowitzki – 91.5%
- Ray Allen – 91.3%
- Chauncey Billups – 91.0%
When breaking down a free throw, there are four key aspects to take a look at in my opinion. The feet, the elbow positioning, the release, and the rhythm of the shot.
