I am slow, overweight, and unathletic.

I honestly think the reason free throw shooting suffers today is because to do it well, you need to shoot with good technique, limited additional body movement and do it the same every single time. Watch good free throw shooters - they're not up there wiggling their hips, doing some weird long release; they go to the line, square up, and shoot with their hands and arms and very little leg or body movement. (Yes there are exceptions.)

I just wonder if the majority of players today have the attention to detail to be good free throw shooters. AJ has it - but he has it in everything, all you have to do is watch him square up on a jumper to know that this is a guy that cares about his technique.
