Here is a clip I made to show Nick Van Exel's rather strange method of free throw shooting. As the clip shows Nick stands a foot behind the line to attempt his free throws claiming his reason for doing this is "Its more my range". Considering Nick was a career .794% free throw shooter im sure his coaches did not mind.

  • @davidtibble7 or, nick van exel was just better at shooting three balls than he was shooting twos and wanted to get closer to the arc. but you are correct with everything you said, sir.

  • Just waking up in the morning gotta thank god

  • There is no point training a closer shot, when that longer shot is more akin to a game jumpshot. Also, this way, one definitely does NOT step over the line on free throws, and they gain a better view at the ring and their shot does not have to be as high because it is not as close..it can be a flatter shot....it all allows for better shooting. Also...if one does miss from this range they can easily get back on defense because they are closer to the other end than at the foul line...This is wise!
