Getting to the Line

by **VCFAN** on Fri Sep 05, 2003 8:05 am

Who do u think is the best at the ability to get to the Free throw line excluding ? Sorry if I forgot someone.

by **Vins15** on Fri Sep 05, 2003 8:09 am

Shaq and TD doesn't have to try go to the line...ppl make them go to the line :roll:

by **magius** on Fri Sep 05, 2003 8:10 am

shaq, but he cant shoot a lick. so under extreme protest, the smart decision is probably pierce. yech.

by **j.23** on Fri Sep 05, 2003 8:30 am

i would say paul pierce.. he's a little bit more aggressive than AI, but i have to give AI his props too

lol @ vince

Where the heck is Karl Malone? He is the all time leader in free throw attempts and makes and is still among the league leaders in both those categories.

2002-03 Regular Season Free-Throw Attempts
Player PCT FTM FTA
1. Paul Pierce ( Boston Celtics) .802 604 753
2. Allen Iverson ( Philadelphia 76ers) .774 570 736
3. Tracy McGrady ( Orlando Magic) .793 576 726
4. Shaquille O'Neal ( Los Angeles Lakers) .622 451 725
5. Kobe Bryant ( Los Angeles Lakers) .843 601 713
6. Tim Duncan ( San Antonio Spurs) .710 450 634
7. Karl Malone ( Utah Jazz) .763 474 621
8. Steve Francis ( Houston Rockets) .800 476 595
9. Pau Gasol ( Memphis Grizzlies) .736 416 565
10. Dirk Nowitzki ( Dallas Mavericks) .881 483 548

I'd say Pierce, too. As he can easily get to the line specially in that game where he got 21/21 in the playoffs this year. But I also gotta say Kobe.

definitly p double

its none of them, obviously. everyone knows its me :lol:

...anyway i think its AI...cause i say so, and i havent watched many celtics games so i cant say pierce.

by **Vins15** on Fri Sep 05, 2003 9:49 am

if i'd have to choose one i'd choose Bruce Bowen man.. :twisted:

he can shoot threes like hell but can't hit a lick of a free throw...Dallas' hack Bowen technique quite well in the beginning of the Dallas-Spurs series...

seriously i'd have to go to AI...even though Pierce attempted more ft...AI is small and fearless plus he goes to the lane more often then Pierce and he's layup over 7 footers are awsome..so he gets my vote (y)

it was Bruise-a-Bowen, and Hack-A-Shaq. lol, ya they the best, He should just do something like Van Exel and don't shoot em at the line back up a bit or something.

Its true that TD and Shaq get to the line a lot. But for the guard and small forwards Paul Pierce is the best. I'll give kobe some credit as well. It seems like whenever he wants to he gets to the line. Almost every game this year it seemed like he took over 12 freethrow attempts.

Based on last season's statistics I voted for Pierce, though I was tempted to vote for Iverson. Not only did he have the second most attempts last year, he deserves credit for being able to get to the basket and draw the foul, quite a feat for a player his size.

Honourable mention must go to Karl Malone. Through the 90s, both the Mailman and MJ were guys who always found a way to get to the line.

by **air gordon** on Fri Sep 05, 2003 5:09 pm

i'd have to say stackhouse. his free throw numbers were a bit lower this year playing second fiddle to mj. but this guy pretty much makes a living going to the charity stripe

Have to go with Kobe

by **DipSetVC** on Sat Sep 06, 2003 1:45 am

I have to go with Paul Pierce, he's one of the greatest floppers of our era.

by **LeBron James** on Sat Sep 06, 2003 4:06 am

paul pierce and dirk nowitzki.
and kobe4mvp you always go with kobe.

yes and no.....he is a very good freethrow shooter, and very very close to the other players at that factor....so I had to pick him out....and you always go with Jason Kidd and Tim Duncan, LEbron James ect...

by **air gordon** on Sat Sep 06, 2003 6:28 am

explain how you can go with lebron james, who hasn't even played a second in a nba game

Dont ask me...aks Jason Ducan, since he is always saying that

by **air gordon** on Sat Sep 06, 2003 6:40 am

actually no. vin diesel's post in the topic:

its unbelieveable that he didnt posted his name over here....but how many times did he say "Lebron James is King of Basketball" ?...to many times :roll:

by **air gordon** on Sat Sep 06, 2003 7:10 am

For sure one time less then you mentioning the adulterer over here

by . on Sat Sep 06, 2003 7:21 am

uhmmm....no :roll:

.....and I say something bout Kobe when he is in the topic, or if someone says something bout him and I want to reply to that.....I never say randomly "Kobe is king of basketball" do I?

by **air gordon** on Sat Sep 06, 2003 7:50 am

see that's twice in one post :lol:

but seriously, lets not lose focus here by putting the attention on some other poster. i'm guessing if someone was to do a search on your posts in the nba forum, you will find adulterers name in almost all of them

and yes, i agree with diesel's previous statement

by **Drex** on Sat Sep 06, 2003 7:53 am

Paul Pierce...
and looks like this is another topic turning into Kobe-Lakers
