Haha, that's hilarious. Shooting 3's has basically replaced FT's nowadays in 21, must be why Nick shot that way!

A lot of hobby baller could do well. I could probably reach 30-40, in a couple of days max, i'm a good amateur shooter though. I tried only once for a half hour, i hit 14 in a row, outside, with a slippery, scuffed ball. But this incredibly awesome man, doing this on the biggest freakin' stage of the basketball world, in front of thousends, (millions), hitting several clutch ones in the proccess... That's the big thing i guess.  Anyway, 1-0!!!!!

Yeah, its one thing to go to the gym and shoot FT's for an hour and then get a rhythm and make 40-50 in a row. Its another thing to go out, night after night, take the ball to the basket, get smacked hard, hit the ground hard, get up, step to the free throw line, lights blaring at you, camera's snapping, people screaming and waving, while sweat runs down you face and moistens your hands, and to calmly sink both free throws, nothing but net. Not once, not 5 times, but 35 trips in a row.
