January 21, 201610 yr Was fouled intentionally 21 times. Shot 36 FTs. Broke Wilt's record for missed FTs when he missed 23. One player fouled Drummonds 5 times in 9 seconds and 12 straight times to start the second half. The Rockets fouled Andre Drummond on purpose 12 straight times to begin the 2nd half, and it worked - SBNation.com
January 21, 201610 yr I feel pretty confident he could shoot a better % underhand. I would be forcing him to do that if I was the owner or coach.
January 21, 201610 yr Relevant factoid. Drummond missed 23 of 36 for the game. Steph Curry has missed 22 of 237 for the season.
January 21, 201610 yr Author Shouldn't be a pro if you can't make a foul shot. Luckily for Wilt a few NBA teams didn't share your thoughts.
January 21, 201610 yr Luckily for Wilt a few NBA teams didn't share your thoughts. True, but Wilt was a freak.
January 21, 201610 yr Almost every shot is at least a foot too long. Isn't that why there is a backboard?
January 21, 201610 yr Rockets take Hack-a-Dre to a whole new level - ESPN Video Ironic that it was the Rockets with Dwight Howard choosing to intentionally foul a poor shooter.
January 22, 201610 yr Wouldn't you think a guy that bad at shooting FT's would consult someone like Rick Barry and get some help. Barry basically put out a guaranty a few years ago that he could take ANY NBA player and turn him into a 70-75% or better shooter in just a few sessions I believe. Of course they would shoot them underhanded. Is it more embarrassing to shoot 30% or to shoot 75% underhanded. Also, if I was a coach, I would MAKE a guy shooting that bad from the line go see Rick Barry. A coach should do anything he can to make his players better.
January 22, 201610 yr True, but Wilt was a freak. Drummond isn't Wilt level but he is probably a top 4 to 5 center in the league now.
