Bob's Free Throws aka It's IMPOSSIBLE

[coopaing]

I counted 20 but i might be wrong ...

[socoolbob]

@coopaing YOU are absolutely CORRECT.

Think of it ... I'm on enough drugs on chemotherapy that I can't COUNT, but ... I can still MAKE 20 in a row. And Andris Biedrins is still shooting overhand. :)

[FreeKicksPFC]

as known as its impossible???????

[marv251]

that is how sakuragi do the free throw

[tmasterx99]

the description underhandfreethrow..co m gives it away

[sverdet13]

I will NEVER play 21 with this guy :P

[socoolbob]

@sverdet13 Good Call !!!

[xxretartedmonkeyxx]

he is just doin the same shots

[socoolbob]

@xxretartedmonkeyxx I'm not sure the purpose and benefit of your comment. Perhaps, you could elaborate. An important fact. You are RIGHT The free throw is ALWAYS THE SAME SHOT THE CONDITIONS are ALWAYS very nearly the same. The basket is at the same height, everywhere in the world. The free throw line is at the same distance, every basketball court in the world. No player is allowed to interfere with the shot. That's one important reason why ANYONE should be successful. And yet some aren't.

[SmashinglySimple]

are those z-coil shoes

[socoolbob]

@SmashinglySimple Yes indeed.

[socoolbob]

Have you been following the "Underhand Free Throw Movement" lately?

It is such a SIMPLE MOVEMENT ... A to B

Yet it still doesn't stir up much CONTROVERSY

Andris Biedrins .. One of the subject's in the piece became the

Worst Free Throw Shooter (For A Season) In NBA History

SoCooLBob is in remission from cancer ... and ... may have gotten

a little better shooting free throws. He can still be counted on

for about 80 percent .. although in his mind he's added a new word.

AUTOMATIC!

I was a big Warrior fan and Barry fan way back in the early 70s. So in high school for one year at least I shot free throws underhand even though I was decent at the more conventional style. I'm sure Biedrins will do much better once he gets the hang of it.

[AndyGotzSkillz]

lol roastin on beindris

[Iwishihadatvr]

It doesn't matter how you shoot, what matters is if it goes in or not!

[socoolbob]

That's A FAR TOO INTELLIGENT Comment

To Be Considered By ANYONE ô¿~

[xShawtyGamex]

mine is a high arching free thrtow soft flick....

[xShawtyGamex]

dats rick barry's

[bacontizzle]

this guy is a beast!!

[bobaktxl06]

by the power of allah those balls always hit their goal but he missed one due to his lack of faith. he should pray to allah more often and he will be blessed with a great hand for shooting.

[TheRealCT4]

lol even shac cant do that.

[deadlychicken69]

Im pretty sure there some kind of awsome crazy batman shoes or some shit. or there made so he can walk on walls.

[socoolbob]

Yep

[SkynetVinnie]

wat kinda shoes r they

[luc0003]

Great job man (Y)

That takes alot of skill :)

[socoolbob]

THANKS

Interestingly enough, that's a part of my point.

It DOESN'T TAKE "that much" SKILL

Take a look at what's involved in the shot.

Standing .. Not A Skill Really?

Holding The Ball?

Lifting your arms from Point A to Point B

Over And Over And Over

Skill ???

[socoolbob]

Wut he say ?

[Koosha888]

i know that you're a beginner because in 3rd grade i sot granny shots too but now I'm in 5th grade and I'm like the 10th best in my whole school because there are some 6th graders that are better than me

[socoolbob]

If so .. you're using a 29 year olders account .. but that's OK

Hopefully, at any age, you will REMEMBER

The Key About This Shot IS

MAKING THE SHOT - the MOST OFTEN

In GAMES And In Critical GAME SITUATIONS

[jmnb19]

Just because you shoot granny shots doesn't make you a beginner. Rick Barry shot granny style and is considered to be the greatest free throw shooter the NBA has ever known.

[seanymoseley]

well whats one thing u can do on the court that lebron cant do

nice work :)

[socoolbob]

Very Wise !!! Very Wise !!!

[kimborampage]

what do you mean he cant do?

[hz7891]

socoolbob no offense but ur shooting style is kinda weird but ur dang accurate!!!!!!! keep practicing and im sure ull make 50/50 free throws :)

[Dakafa11]

I shoot like this... there was plenty of guys a long time ago that shot like this. i think its easier to repeat that motion. but if getting made fun of puts points on the board. i can handle it

[socoolbob]

Now there's a compliment. Looks like you joined YouTube so you could comment on this video?

1 Channel View so far etc.

Yes .. there was a time ... according to what Al Attles of The Golden State Warriors told me.

When he was in high school EVERYBODY shot that way ( he's about 74 now)

IN his school, one kid came along and said I CAN shoot BETTER the other way.

The coach decided he'd let him ..

BECAUSE HE SHOT BETTER THAT WAY

That's how it began.

Is this the end?

[iTzTheMonKeY]

You are crazy. Yes, yes it was a "granny" shot but if he makes it almost every time, its as good as any normal shot. Great gob!

[melgabas]

boring !

[socoolbob]

You gotta make a game of it ô¿~

[mid10hs]

lol granny shot :D

[socoolbob]

I reckon someday it's going to be appropriate to update this "terminology?"

Anybody ever seen a "granny" shoot the shot this way? Is calling it a "granny shot" meant to be "derogotory? A reflection on "granny's? A reflection on "the shot?" Are we talking "discrimination" here? Underhand freethrow phobia? Is it supposed to be a male / female thing? Seen any females lately, shooting free throws this way? How 'bout gay guys? Guys on steroids?

MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS !!!

[ShotScience]

Thanks, Bob! We predict your fame is right around the corner!

[ShotScience]

Nice shooting, Bob! Just like Barry!

--The Shot Science Guys

[socoolbob]

Thanks Shot Science Guys

And Congratulations On Your YouTube Channel

And Videos - Looks like you started it on my birthday ô¿~

I encourage you to continue on in a positive direction, encouraging improvement in yourself and others.

(I'm anxious to hear of your possible relationship with Pete Newell II and/or III)

Perhaps, you can even assist in helping a wise someone to become the next most FAMOUS successful underhand free throw shooter.

[redfanrod]

What's with the "suction cup" at the heels of your shoes?

[socoolbob]

Check out ZCoil(Dot)Com

They are terrific shoes, described by the company for those "over 50" and/or who suffer from a variety of "pains."

Congratulations ZCoil

Another Free Commercial Extolling The Benefits Of Your Product

Let me remind YOU ... You Should Have, Still Could Become A Sponsor

It would do EVERYBODY a WHOLE LOT OF Good !!!

[youngmuggsy]

i like to shoot free throws with my normal technique because it helps develop muscle memory for my jumpshot.

[socoolbob]

At least you have a reasonably good reason.

Is that the only reason?

What do you think of Rick Barry's "Normal" shooting technique and skills?

He can make that underhand shot from just

about ANYWHERE .. and his "normal" shot.

[bobletownzu]

WTF is with the shoes

[socoolbob]

The shoes .. as advertised by their maker ..

Z-Coil Dot Com are primarily designed .. according to them .. for older people.

50 and above.

They have an orthodic in the shoe that forces the human to stand properly.

They have coil springs on the bottom that absorb the shock of landing.

They put "spring" back in your step.

They cause your legs to feel about 20 years younger.

They're good for the whole body and therefore the whole rest of you as well.

Thanks For Asking

[socoolbob]

Oh .. and the company would probably be a little disappointed if I didn't mention that the primary benefit they advertise ... is the elimination of pain.

[Chasky33]

Nice free throw technique. In games i shoot a little more that 80% of the line, after practice i shoot easyly 90%, one time i made 52 free trows in a row.

What is your porcentage of FT with a regular free throw technique?

Cheers from Argentina.

Carlos

[socoolbob]

Me personaly, I don't play a lot of basketball anymore. If I did I suspect, with practice, it might be a little less than what can be done underhand.

I don't have any ego in the way, so ... lifting my arms in that same simple way seems perfectable ... for me, that's what it would be all about.

I think ô¿~

[halfbreed23]

Shooting FTs in a game and shooting them alone in a gym are two different things. I know it's the same distance and the same size ball etc but it's a different circumstances. Also, not everyone's body is built to shoot like a girl.

[socoolbob]

Interestingly enough .. I agree ... and disagree.Shooting FT's,the act, is exactly the same. The circumstances are different.

Yes .. it makes a difference if your winded.

Yes .. it makes a difference if there's crowd noise.

Yes .. it makes a difference how fast your heart is beating, how much sweat on your hands.

The movement of the body = best attempt at it being the same .... over and over and over ... regardless of additional and varying circumstances.

[topoy6]

reminds me of rick barry... he was s0 excellent at it... you got a nice stroke old timer... keep it up & stay in go0d shape...

[weston637]

I HIT 25!!! ah that sucks you missed me by 1 but im the best free throw shooter on my jv team and out of varsity..good job though..i dont shoot it like that. I don't mean to sound cocky. But practice does make perfect...you have to get in the gym and shoot 100 foul shots AT LEAST a day to be a shooter like bob here...good job man.

[Lken09]

whats going on with his shoes?!?! :S:S:S

them some funky kicks

[socoolbob]

[LookMa20s]

Its not granny shots its the underhanded free throw, very nice.

[btown812212]

free throws are so easy to shoot, even when you're tired. people often dont really realize how easy they can be to shoot. all you have to do is find a set motion that works, and repeat that same motion every time!! you;ll eventually get the hang of it!!!!

[socoolbob]

You know, I've described them as easy myself ... and yet, I can't help but wonder about the definition of "easy" and/or success when it comes to making free throws. Easy to make ... 50 percent ? Easy to make 80 percent ? Easy to make 100 percent ? In practice ? In a game? Professional basketball players apparently don't find it easy, given how many of them simply cannot come anywhere near making 80 percent. 2 bad really, given how 'easy' it could be.

[bballer613]

y Granny Shots

[marblesthemustardman]

wow so cool bob! thats freakin amazing!!

wb

[socoolbob]

Found a master ... learned what he did ... practiced, practiced, practiced.

[s9538946e]

OMG ALL IN !?!?! i could hardy in one ball i suck in basketball =p HOW DID YOU DO THAT!

[aznangelboi]

Wow, you're pretty good.

[socoolbob]

Additional interesting follow up ... type the words underhand free throw into Google ... WOW !!!

[socoolbob]

IN response to WOW. One of the most interesting things to me about having discovered and then practiced this shot ever so briefly over a four year period of time IS ...

People tell me they "can't" even try the shot in the gym, for FEAR of what people will say. I, however, continue to practice the shot, because of ... "what people say." ... WOW !!!

[jpmisdead]

Mr. Biedrinsh???

[Jackpwnz]

How do you do that? When I try it it usually comes up short and when I try to shoot it higher it bounces off.

[socoolbob]

Check out http://www.socool.com/tv/curre­nt or Google Video search for SoCooL ... I've got Rick Barry, The Master, teaching EXACTLY HOW !!! And me doing my best a time or 2twotoo !!!

[socoolbob]

Good EYES !!! http://zcoil.com Their marketing emphasizes a) primarily folks OVER 50 b) primarily designed for elimination of PAIN. They provide solid "orthodic" for stance and posture, a high powered coil that acts as a shock absorber. I video taped Rick Barry Fantasy Basketball Camp "three days running" in these shoes. Jim Barnett, of GS Warriors wore them around the gym and commented, "Sure makes my knee feel better!" Z-Coil .. Are you ready to ADVERTISE?

[socoolbob]

That's good ? ô¿~

THANKS !!!

And You ???
