I’m not sure when high fives and hand slapping (even after a miss) started at the free throw line. I know its suppose to show “team comradery” but there’s a zillion other ways to do that also without slowing down the game. Its gotten to be an obligation now, as you can see Towns expecting it in the video. In my old school days, if I made a free throw, I didnt want to even move my feet from the line so i could duplicate the first make easier. Say you were playing “21” and made several in a row at the line, other players would intentionally throw you back the ball and make you move to get it. Musta been a reason……
How was your NBA career?
THATS the best reply you got? If you dont agree just say so. Doesnt take a NBA career to shoot free throws.
I remember freshman Antoine Walker slapping the floor against Ohio U just as Geno Ford left Antoine in his dust on his way to the hoop
Yeah, I was going to make the same comment. And, Walker fouled him for an “and 1”. Pitino substituted and Walker wouldn’t even look at anyone as he went to the bench.
