Revisionist History Podcast

"The basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain had only one flaw: he couldn’t shoot free throws. In 1962, Chamberlain switched to making his foul shots underhanded—and fixed his only weakness.

But then he switched back.

“The Big Man Can’t Shoot” is a meditation on the puzzle of why smart people do dumb things—why excellence is such a difficult and elusive goal, even for the best-intentioned.


This thread has nothing to do with UCF's FT%, whats so ever.

Bigfoot shoots FT's underhanded? Damn

He tried shooting then with his feet but they were too big. Little known fact - Bigfoot ?? Tiny hands

 

[Markwassillylaugher]

actually he took the ball and ran towards the foul line and dunked his shots. Thus the arch behind the shooter to stop that!!
