I know, I agree, bad free throwers shouldn't be in the league or should be paid less money. I'd like to see free throw percentage be a requirement for leaving college early. If you can't shoot 70% stay in school or D-league until you can.
The NBA's stance I believe is that making someone like Jordan or Howard shoot 20 extra free throws, slowing the game down, makes for a much less exciting product, both in person and especially on TV. |
Well, if they went by your rules, the league never would have seen the great career of Shaquille O'Neal. |
Or Bill Russell. Career FT%.561 LINK _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Without the worry of fouling out of a game it would turn into street ball. Silver sees the problem and has taken measures to make things better. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

This would help defenses to reset after any breakdown.
And how would you do over a 2-on-1 or other situation? _________________ KOBE!!! |
