Atleast Shaq has an excuse, he broke his wrist in high school and can't shoot FT's the proper way. What's Richardson's excuse?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BDiddyJRich:</div><div class="quote_post">What's Richardson's excuse?</div> His face is stuck in a grimace so he has trouble seeing the rim and he flexes his face muscles so hard he can't concentrate on the ones on the rest of his body. Its quite a tragic condition.

If Richardson could dunk all his free throw attempts, we're talking 90% foul shooter.

He'll try and find Baron and make eye contact and be like "aw damn dawg" like when he botches a Harlemglobetrotter behind-the-back-360 reverse alley-oop from baron davis at half court and they'll give eachother hand-pounds and be like "aw it's all good homey" and kind of like laugh it off and all, but with a little grimace.
Watch JRich, he commits the worst sin there is, he does not look at the rim until the last second. Your eyes are you best tool, you need to use them.

From developing his mid-range jumper, to being able to jump of one foot, to being able to show up on back-to-back games, to being able to shoot the three -- I mean from the time he came into the league until now, JRich has transformed himself into an all-star caliber complete player. Well, almost complete. He has yet to improve from the line -- which is what I hope he (along with his running pal BDiddy) is working on right this very moment.

It's not like he's badly missing them like Shaq. But, at this point, any adjustments should be considered.
People who can't shoot FT's need to do the granny shot, rick barry style. No shame in it, and it works!
