Shaq laughed then, but he wasn't laughing when they used it near the end of the 2nd quarter. As a matter of fact, he gave a hard forearm shiver to Udoka the 3rd time he came over to foul.

I love the comment that says it's physically harder for 7-footers to shoot free throws. That's why Yao Ming has made only 82 percent for his career.

It's physically harder for Shaq to shoot free throws because he uses his palm to release the ball. Good God that painful to watch.

He won't bend his knees as part of a coordinated effort, either.

PH, I agree, bending the knees is not necessary. But when Shaq is shooting, it sure looks like he should. He has no rhythm at all.

I haven't seen Yao shoot lately, but I think he follows what you are talking about.
