The Lost Art of the Granny Shot: Exploring Rick Barry’s Underhand Free Throw Technique in Today’s NBA

why don’t basketball
players shoot like
this anymore
Rick Barry one of
the best free throw
shooters in NBA history
shot 89% using
this underhand
technique
but many players
avoided it because of
the stigma that it
looked uncool
or that they
look like a girl
when asked about
doing this
Shaq said he’d rather
shoot 0% than
shoot underhand
but the real reason
why players don’t
shoot underhand
is because it’s
completely
different shot
to how they shoot
non free
throws in game
and players would
rather spend time
to get better at
one form rather
than two
all that being said
should we bring
back the granny shot?
