		<description><![CDATA[Well put.

These 7-footers don&#039;t have to be 90% free throw shooters like Dirk Nowitzki to stop teams from fouling them. 
All these Centers have to do is shoot around 70% from the free-throw line (which is still below average) - that&#039;s enough to punish teams that try to hack them.

Tyson Chandler worked hard and became a decent free throw shooter (around 70% the past couple of years). 
Tiago Splitter of the Spurs improved to a 74% free throw shooter this year after being in the 50&#039;s as a rookie. 

Going further back in history, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Hakeem Olajuwon were consistent 70+% free throw shooters. 

It&#039;s part of being a good player.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[He should just sit out the rest of the season besides the Lakers aren&#039;t going to the playoffs and that would give him time to figure out where he&#039;s going to play next season. Hopefully it will be as far away from Kobe and L.A. as possible but money talks so Lakers fans expect to see the odd couple together next season.]]></description>
