Knicks: 93 til infinity
I hear you, it's just that I can't get behind something that is basically rewarding mediocrity, and don't understand anyone who does. And the big difference with the Shaq era is that Shaq was basically the only elite player who had this major flaw. As I said, Malone and Duncan were abad or average free throw shooters, they worked on it. Why can't we expect the same from guys (this generation) that are probably already making more than both in that era? Have some pride in what you do. Now you have various All-Star level players who canet make FTs, that's ALL on them. shyt the Davis brothers, Anthony MAson, Dennis Rodman and all those bruisers could make FTs and now we're protecting these guys?
The league has done enough itself against the integrity of its own sport (rewarding floppers, calling touch fouls, etc) to act surprised by this shyt now. And it's the coaches who keep these players in knowing damn well their weaknesses will be exploited.
Half hour? The game isn't even extended by a half hour with the initial rules. An average position is around 18-20 seconds. Last time I checked even if you allow it for every single possession, which won't be the case because the coach will take the player out if he keeps missing, the game will at most be extended 10 mins.
