I learned a lot about shooting free throws by watching this years NBA playoffs. 4 of the top 11 free throw shooters off all time are in this years playoffs (Steve Nash, Chauncey Billups, Ray Allen, and Kevin Durant). I am teaching free throw shooting in my digital video, and by watching these guys I learned a thing or two. If you watch any of these four guys shoot, you will notice that they have the same rhythm every time they step up to the line. It never changes because it is their routine that they have been doing forever. I believe this is the main reason they are some of the best shooters of all time. On the other side of the coin, if you watch some on like Dwight Howard is one of the worst free throw shooters of all time. He never does the same thing twice when going to the line and he sometimes stands on the line and other times he is a foot off the line. He has zero consistency in his game.
