Michael Jordan? Charles Barkley? Kevin Johnson?

Yes.

I looked it up, Dantley has the record. I wonder if @Sackataters saw that game.

 

[nuraman00]

I didn't remember Dirk went 24/24. I wish I had remembered watching that game, and if I was aware of his FT streak during the game.

 

[nuraman00]

@MHSL82, why didn't you tell me that someone prominent is a 91% FT shooter?

I just learned from the broadcast of Portland - L.A. Clippers, that Lillard was a 91% FT shooter the past two years.

Here I am thinking that FT shooting has is in a bad state, with very few 90+% shooters.

But there's a good guy that does it, in Lillard! I'll have to watch him more excitedly now when he shoots free throws.

3/9, Rudy? How do you say "ai yai yai" in French?

 

[nuraman00]

Judging by the lack of response, I guess @MHSL82 likes it when Rudy goes 3/9 from the foul line.

He might even be rooting for him to have a 0% game with all attempts being airballs.

 

[nuraman00]

Leonard 19-19.

Drew Brees went 29/30 on passes, making history for best completion percentage.

If he had gone 30/30, he could have tied what Kawhi did a few days ago with a one hundred percent free throw percentage.

Too bad Brees didn't.

I am glad Brees did it. Because Alex Smith was had the record but they had determined that one of his passes was lateral and so therefore it was not a pass. So he did not have the record. Brees record is bigger. So now it doesn’t matter.

And the reason it bugged me is because the next game is the one that Smith got his concussion in San Francisco. When he put Kaepernick in, the coach said that he was going to stick with the hot hand and it was so stupid because how could you be more hot than someone who completed every pass except one? And the game before that I think he had five touchdown passes. And the game he had the concussion, he was six for seven or seven for eight. Especially when the game before he made the public decision, Kaepernick lost because of a boneheaded/rookie mistake play.

Posting a link which shows the completion percentage from that game.

49ers can ask, but Alex Smith did not set an NFL record on Monday night (VIDEO)

I am glad Brees did it.

You fixed it now, but there was a zero percent chance your voice-to-text was going to get Brees correct.

"Breeze" is what it transcribed.

You want the All-Star game, Rudy? Make your free throws.

Want to start, Joe? Make your free throws.

I understand taking the shot that is open for you to try to put away the game, but don’t shoot the ball with nine seconds to go if you can run it down to four and you are up.

When you’re up by five points with one minute to go against a bad team, win the game.

Jazz vs. Pelicans - Game Summary - January 16, 2020 - ESPN

I think this is worse than the Sacramento tip in.

 

[nuraman00]

When was the Sacramento tip-in, or what happened? Was that a game this year?

Jazz vs. Kings - Game Summary - November 1, 2019 - ESPN

 

[MHSL82]

Looking at the schedule of past games, the Jazz range of woulda (optimist) coulda (pessimist) is 34-7 to 25-16.

Jazz vs. Kings - Game Summary - November 1, 2019 - ESPN

It looks like the 17 Jazz turnovers lead to too many more FG Attempts for the Kings.

Zion, you've got to make your free throws!

 

[nuraman00]

That shirt didn't mention how he also went 2-2 from the free throw line.

I hate it when people forget to mention free throws.
