Laker Fans, Just Accept Shaq for What He Is
There’s a simple reason Shaq is a terrible free throw shooter. Making free throws requires skill. There’s no denying Shaq is great at using his size and strength to dominate a game. But expecting him to do something skillful is like expecting me, at 5-8, to dunk.
Just accept the fact that he doesn’t possess the skill to make a free throw (or any shot more than two feet from the basket). Laker fans should just be happy he has that size and strength and uses it well.
