The "Have Your Random NBA Question Answered" Thread

[dare]

Desmond Mason and Chuck Hayes are currently tied for 1st place

[Moz]

not really an ugly form but pretty unorthodox...

Anthony Mason's one-hander back in the day is in the same category

[benji]

Rick Berry on his free throws.

[Murat]

Really bad...

[NovU]

Rick Barry was awesome indeed. He still goes around and teaches his way of shooting the FT.

Anyways, here's a random question. Any news on Chris Paul and Dwight Howard willing to join the Heat squad yet?

[Dan's Brain]

Dwight Howard is already playing for a better team, so there's no point in him doing it. And Chris Paul is going to the Knicks.

[Andrew]

I doubt they'd be willing to play for the minimum when they contracts are up in 2013 (and with the uncertainty of a lockout looming, I doubt they opt out after this season) so unless they're getting traded for LeBron, Wade or Bosh, they're not going to Miami.

Damn... Jamaal Wilkens does a "soccer inbound pass" to the rim

[Axel The Great]

It allows for better range.

[Lamrock]

If you're a first rounder in your rookie contract, and you get traded in say, your second or third year, are you still a Restricted Free Agent after your fourth?

[benji]

As long as the team option was exercised I don't see why not.

Have there been any player injured in an all-star game?

I seem to remember Brad Miller tweaking his ankle one year, offhand I'd say the 2003 game.

2004, my mistake.

[Axel The Great]

What's the point of issuing a technical foul for hanging on the rim?

[Oznogrd]

What's the point of issuing a technical foul for hanging on the rim?

A false idea of sportsmanship we have in sports in America and saving the teams/arena money. When 200 something pound men hang on a rim, its eventually gonna break.

[Bodz]

When was the last time the Lakers had the #1 draft pick?

[benji]

1979.

[Axel The Great]

What's the reason behind Jose Calderon's drop from 98% free throw shooting in the 08-09 season, to 80% in the 09-10 season?

[koberulz]

Poor free-throw shooting.

[Axel The Great]

Thank you captain obvious.

[koberulz]

What answer were you expecting?

[Axel The Great]

Not the one that you gave me.

[Lamrock]

Calderon was injured for most of last season but played through it. Injury hurt his shooting, and made his already bad defense even worse.
