The most orthopedic shooter: this is how she shoots free throws. How can you not get injured?
So easy and difficult at the same time, free kicks hide an inexplicable complexity and, if not, ask Shaquille O’Neal with his 52.7% career or the second best in history, LeBron James. Although The King is a much better pitcher than Shaq, he averages 62% this season and in no season has he gone over 78%.
In history the peculiar shooting mechanics will always occupy a special place. Rick Barry with his way of taking free throws from the bottom up, but yesterday the way he took Kendall Puryear literally went around the world.
The player of the South Florida Bulls he launched from 4.60 against the Furmin Paladins as if he were doing a medicine ball exercise, leaving the ball in one hand to take it behind him and then execute the throw. None of the shots went in and they even fell short of doing so.
South Florida won by a large margin (80-54) and, despite the missed free throws with the failed technique, Puryear had a very complete performance with 12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
The forward is in her third season at college and is looking for ways to be more effective from the 4.60, in which she only averages 54.5%. They won’t be able to tell Puryear that he has no imagination to improve his effectiveness.
