Comments on: Dwight Howard practices threes, could become Lakers stretch five http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/14/dwight-howard-practices-threes-could-become-lakers-stretch-five/ Basketball - NBC Sports Sat, 18 May 2013 23:38:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: GymAlien http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/14/dwight-howard-practices-threes-could-become-lakers-stretch-five/comment-page-1/#comment-141127 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:32:16 +0000 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=230658#comment-141127 I saw him practicing free throws first before the Clipper preseason game. Clanking way too many; just like always. And then a little later, over on the same side as this video shows, I saw someone draining threes…about 5 or 6 in a row and I shook my head when I realized it was Dwight!
His emphasis on flicking the wrist overly hard and not moving his elbow up on his free throws will keep him from ever doing well. Funny thing is I saw him practicing with Ed Palubinskas on a YouTube video and he was doing it right (smoothly accelerating the ball and releasing with touch; not over emphasizing the flicking wrist or abruptly moving the ball).
GymAlien said so.

Do not become Shaq!

Until he takes one in a game let’s all just settle down a little. I’ve been to an NBA shootaround seeing players mess around and practice 3/4 quart hook shots.

Last year was his worst and you have to figure it was partially the back issues.

NBA done turned into a joke. All these flawed superstar basketball players, no skill, they’re just playing off their god given ability. This is a dam shame. NBA isnt the same anymore it’s sad.

I could never be a reporter, i have too much common sense.

Typical.

Shaq is a better shot than you, and he had the sense to not take 3′s. Until you can hit better than 50% at the free throw line, step away from that damn 3point line.

This has to be the dumbest idea ive ever heard of. Have you seen the way he shoots a free throw? You really think having him shoot 3′s is good……

wow….just wow

He’s another moron in the NBA.
