Hoops, this site would not be the same without you.
I raz you just as I do all my lakerfan friends.
Here is to getting plenty of oppertunity to raz you this season!
PS - I thought Shaq's FT problem was because of a wrist injury.

I had heard about the "wrist injury" years ago, but the funny thing is, many people have said that during practice he hits his FT just fine. I guess he can't handle the pressure of making them "when they count" during a game.
Thank you Kingzrool. You know I'll be hoping to get plenty of opportunities to razz you right back.

I always thought it strange that one who can not make a shot more than 4 feet from the basket can be so effective in the NBA. Says alot about role playing eh?
For some odd reason these 7 footers in US cant seem to make their free throws at all. You can easily count the number of 7 footers that have a decent free throw % and even the supposedly good free throw shooting 7 footers like Duncan dont have a good %. Its the Euros that have a good FT%. Shows that we really dont care about the FT here and once you are a 7 footer and as long as you can catch the ball and dunk you will get paid in millions, so why bother.
When Bel Wallace who cant catch the ball well, or even shoot from 3 feet gets a 10 mil per contract why should he bother shooting free throws. Malone didnt have a goot FT% but he worked on it and later became a better FT shooter I guess because of someone in his family commenting on it.
When O'Tag cant shoot FT, cant catch the ball and cant jump can have a career in the nba then why would he bother to shoot FT, its not going to change his pay scale.
On the other hand, Shaq's history with Rick for some reason has been rocky and I guess thats cos, one he is Shaq and he picks certain people for some odd reason. Second Rick being an *** himself and trying to act as if he is the best in basketball. I used to hear him on radio and he was so full of it and always was talking as if he is the best coach and that the teams never bothered to use him. the fact that no team has even contacted him on that shows that he has got some problems.

Shaq doesn't like to hear criticism of any kind. He once told Tex Winter, "STFU old man!" during a table session w/ the team. Shaq has refused to work with free throw coaches before Rick came around. He used one in 2000 when he was shooting 40% and got rid of the guy after and refused to work with him again once he started to slip from his lofty 54% streak.
It's a tough road Gargy!
To explain once again...I first started checking out this board years ago, since I do live in Sacto now. I am a basketball fan who happens to be a Laker fan. (Born and raised in SoCal and a die-hard Laker fan since I was a wee one growing up in the West-Baylor-Chamberlain days of old)
Since joining the board I have made some very good friends on here..people who can get past the fact that I am a Laker fan..and since I do come here often and enjoy the bball banter and general goodness of the people on here, I thought it would be a good idea to become a contributor. I am grateful for the friendships and the support I have received from the people on KF and have enjoyed the get-togethers that I've attended.
Hope that clears a few things up.

He even yelled,"Shut up old man" to Tex Winter when he tried to give him some coaching advice. Classy, huh?
