How Do You Shoot A Basketball Free Throw?
The free throw is a lost art in basketball. Overall, free throw shooting at every level of play has seen a precipitous drop in proficiency over the past few decades. Players lack a fundamental base to their games and often ignore the free throw as a valuable weapon in their offensive arsenal. Step to the free throw line. Position both feet behind the free throw line. Make sure the shooter is standing directly in front of the basket. Place both feet straight toward the basket when shooting the free throw. Do not angle either foot to the left or the right. Spread the free throw stance so that the feet are shoulder width apart. Cradle the basketball in the shooting hand first. Bring the off-hand to the basketball to provide support for the shot. Situate the basketball in the shooting so that the basketball is resting on the fingers and is not touching the palm of the hand. Bend the knees and at the same time raise the basketball straight up so that it almost touches the shooters face. Kee
