Why reward people for being bad at free throws?


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

I've said it a hundred times: just let teams waive their right to fts and opt to take the ball out of bounds instead. Easy. No one wants to watch fts. If you're concerned about late game situations, then just make fts mandatory the last two minutes of the game when the current hack a Shaq rule applies.

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.

This would help defenses to reset after any breakdown.

And how would you do over a 2-on-1 or other situation?
