Why Everyone LAUGHS At The Underarm Free Throw... 😳🏀

Credits: NBA, FIBA Basketball, Basketball Champions League, GAMETIME HIGHLIGHTS, Wilt Chamberlain Archive, Business Insider, The Howard Stern Show The crowd burst into laughter the moment Chinanu Onuaku stepped up to the line and launched his free throw underhand like a child tossing a ball at the park. Fans mocked him relentlessly, convinced the strange-looking “granny shot” was embarrassing. But every time the ball left his hands, it dropped cleanly through the hoop again and again, silencing the arena one shot at a time. What looked ridiculous actually had science behind it — the underhand motion created a higher arc, letting the ball fall into the basket at a steeper angle and making the rim effectively feel bigger. Decades earlier, NBA legend Rick Barry had already proven how deadly the technique was, finishing his career with a staggering 90% free throw percentage. Even Wilt Chamberlain tested it in 1962, instantly improving his shooting and even scoring a historic 100-point game that same season. But despite the results, the basketball world still rejected it. Wilt eventually abandoned the underhand shot, not because it failed, but because he believed it made him look weak and unmanly compared to the traditional overhand form. Years later, another NBA superstar, Shaquille O'Neal, faced the exact same problem. Known as one of the worst free throw shooters in league history, Shaq was personally advised by Rick Barry to switch techniques, but he refused, saying he'd rather miss every shot than shoot underhand because it looked uncool. His weakness at the line became so bad that teams invented the infamous “Hack-a-Shaq” strategy, intentionally fouling him because they trusted him to miss. And so, even after decades of proof that the so-called granny shot actually works, most NBA players still avoid it — not because it’s ineffective, but because they’re too afraid of how it looks. . . .

Daily Faceoff

다시는 못 뛴다던 축구선수...포기하지 않는 자에게 부처님은 반드시 응답하신다 / The Buddha Had Other Plans 🙏#buddhiststory #불교이야기

베트남의 한 젊은 축구선수가 경기 중 강한 태클로 다리가 부러졌습니다. 의사의 말은 단호했습니다. "다시는 축구를 못 할 수도 있습니다." 그러나 청년은 포기하지 않았습니다. 퇴원 후 집으로 돌아온 그는 매일 아침 불상 앞에 무릎을 꿇었습니다. 매일 오후 눈물과 땀으로 재활을 했습니다. 쓰러지는 날에도, 포기하고 싶은 날에도 — 부처님을 바라보며 다시 일어섰습니다. 그리고 어느 깊은 밤. 부처님이 찾아오셨습니다. ───────────────────────────── 🌸 불교의 가르침 — 이 이야기에서 ✦ 고(苦) — 고통은 피할 수 없다 부러진 다리, 의사의 선고, 재활의 고통 — 삶에는 반드시 고통이 찾아옵니다. 부처님은 이것을 첫 번째 진리로 가르치셨습니다. 고통은 벌이 아닙니다. 고통은 수행의 시작입니다. ✦ 정진(精進) — 끊임없는 노력 매일 쓰러지고 매일 일어서는 것. 포기하고 싶은 마음을 이기는 것. 이것이 불교에서 말하는 정진(精進)입니다. 부처님은 편한 자에게가 아니라 끝까지 노력하는 자에게 응답하십니다. ✦ 신심(信心) — 흔들리지 않는 믿음 몸이 부서지는 고통 속에서도 매일 불상 앞에 무릎을 꿇는 것. 이것이 신심입니다. 신심은 기적이 일어난 후에 생기는 것이 아닙니다. 기적이 일어나기 전에 이미 존재해야 하는 것입니다. ✦ 자비(慈悲) — 부처님의 무한한 사랑 부처님은 포기하지 않는 자를 외면하지 않으십니다. 깊은 밤, 아무도 모르게, 고통받는 자의 곁에 찾아오시는 것 — 이것이 부처님의 자비입니다. ✦ 가피(加被) — 불가사의한 축복 인간의 힘으로는 불가능한 것도 부처님의 가피로 가능해집니다. 그러나 가피는 신심 없이 오지 않습니다. 믿음이 가피를 부릅니다. ✦ 회향(廻向) — 영광을 돌림 결승골을 넣고 무릎을 꿇은 청년. 그는 자신의 영광을 부처님께 돌렸습니다. 이것이 회향입니다. 받은 것을 감사로 돌려드리는 것. ───────────────────────────── 📿 지금 포기하고 싶으신가요? 쓰러져도 괜찮습니다. 부처님은 쓰러진 자리에서도 우리를 보고 계십니다. 다시 한 번 무릎을 꿇으세요. 그것으로 충분합니다. 🙏 이 영상이 감동이셨다면 댓글로 여러분의 이야기를 나눠주세요 💬 ───────────────────────────── 🎬 영상 정보 배경: 베트남 축구장 / 병원 / 가정집 형식: 대사 없는 비주얼 스토리텔링 스타일: 하이퍼 리얼리즘 시네마틱 A young Vietnamese footballer's leg was shattered in a brutal tackle. The doctor's verdict was final: "You may never play again." But he refused to accept it. After leaving the hospital, he returned home — to a small room, a worn rehabilitation mat, and an aged wooden Buddha statue that had watched over his family for generations. Every morning: prayer. Every afternoon: rehabilitation. Every day he fell. Every day he looked at the Buddha. Every day he stood back up. Then one night — while he slept — the Buddha came to him. ───────────────────────────── 🌸 The Buddhist Teachings in This Story ✦ Dukkha / 고 (苦) — Suffering A broken leg. A doctor's verdict. The agony of rehabilitation. The Buddha's First Noble Truth tells us: suffering is inevitable. It is not punishment. It is not failure. It is the beginning of the path. ✦ Viriya / 정진 (精進) — Right Effort To fall every day and rise every day. To choose to continue when the body says stop. This is Viriya — right effort — one of the Noble Eightfold Path's core teachings. The Buddha does not respond to comfort. He responds to effort. ✦ Saddha / 신심 (信心) — Faith To kneel before the Buddha when your body is broken. To pray when prayer seems useless. This is Saddha — faith. Faith does not come after the miracle. It must exist before — and that is exactly what makes it faith. ✦ Karuna / 자비 (慈悲) — Compassion The Buddha does not abandon those who do not abandon themselves. To come in the deep of night, unseen, unannounced, to kneel beside a suffering person — this is the compassion that has no limit and no condition. ✦ Adhitthana / 가피 (加被) — Grace and Blessing What human effort cannot achieve, divine compassion can. But grace does not come without faith. Faith calls the grace. Grace answers the faith. ✦ Parinamana / 회향 (廻向) — Dedication He scored the winning goal. He did not celebrate. He knelt. He returned his victory to the one who gave it. This is Parinamana — the dedication of merit, the completion of the circle. ───────────────────────────── 📿 Are you ready to give up on something right now? It is okay to fall. The Buddha sees you even on the floor. Kneel one more time. That is enough. That is everything. 🙏 If this story moved you, share it with someone who needs to hear that giving up is not the only option. 💬 ───────────────────────────── 🎬 Video Information Setting: Vietnam — football stadium, hospital, family home Format: Wordless visual storytelling Style: Hyper-realistic cinematic ─────────────────────────────

The story of the Buddha's heart

🇨🇺 La escasez total de transporte en Cuba: calles vacías y ausencia de medios de transporte público.

#cuba #crisis #transporte [00:00] 🚶‍♀️ La escasez total de transporte en Cuba: calles vacías y ausencia de medios de transporte público. [01:48] 🇺🇸 Presión de Estados Unidos para que Cuba abandone su régimen hostil y vínculos con el narcotráfico y terrorismo. [07:34] 🔒 Detención de dos jóvenes influencers que denunciaban la realidad cubana, acusados de propaganda contra el orden constitucional. [10:06] 🎥 Testimonio valiente de un influencer cubano que denuncia la falsa narrativa de resistencia y la miseria real en la isla. [13:27] 🇨🇱 Controversia política en Chile por el envío de ayuda humanitaria a Cuba, con críticas desde EE.UU. y sectores opositores. [16:16] 💰 Detalles sobre la ayuda enviada a Cuba a través de UNICEF, destacando el debate sobre su destino y eficacia. [19:55] ⚖️ Giro pragmático del presidente Boric en sus últimos días de gobierno, buscando consolidar legado político con acciones simbólicas. Darío Mizrahi presenta un análisis profundo sobre la grave crisis que enfrenta Cuba, marcada por una escasez absoluta de transporte, combustible, alimentos y servicios básicos. Se muestra un testimonio impactante de las calles vacías en ciudades cubanas, donde ni siquiera funcionan los autobuses, y los pocos medios de transporte que existen, como los almendrones, cobran precios exorbitantes debido a la falta de gasolina. La situación es descrita como inédita y caótica, con un régimen desgastado y dividido entre una vieja guardia envejecida y una nueva dirigencia, encabezada por Díaz-Canel, que muestra inoperancia y se apoya principalmente en la represión. El análisis también aborda la presión de Estados Unidos hacia Cuba para que abandone su política hostil y deje de apoyar estructuras vinculadas al narcotráfico y al terrorismo en América Latina. Mientras tanto, se profundiza en la represión interna con el caso de dos jóvenes influencers, Ernesto Ricardo Medina y Camil Zayas Pérez, detenidos por difundir información crítica sobre la realidad cubana. El régimen utiliza el aparato judicial para silenciar voces disidentes y mantener el control. El video expone la contradicción entre las percepciones externas y la realidad interna. Por un lado, se menciona la postura oficial del presidente chileno Gabriel Boric, que anuncia el envío de ayuda humanitaria a Cuba, denunciando el bloqueo estadounidense como criminal. Sin embargo, se critica que esta ayuda probablemente beneficiará al régimen y no al pueblo cubano, y se cuestiona si Boric realmente entiende la situación real desde la perspectiva de los cubanos que sufren en la isla. Finalmente, se resaltan las tensiones políticas en Chile respecto a esta ayuda, con críticas desde sectores cubano-americanos en Estados Unidos que denuncian el respaldo de Boric a la dictadura cubana. Se muestra cómo la agenda política y las contradicciones internas de Chile influyen en esta decisión, en un contexto donde la oposición y la crítica al régimen cubano se endurecen. Los últimos días del gobierno de Boric reflejan un giro pragmático y una búsqueda de legado político, evidenciado en acciones como el envío de la ayuda y otros debates sociales en Chile. 🔴 Las Últimas Noticias de Latinoamérica 📺 700 | 1700 @DIRECTVLA 📺 22 | Telecentro 📺 570 | Flow 📺 514 | Claro 📲 @DGO_LATAM 🔴 +DNEWS +VIVO Horarios 🇦🇷 🇨🇱 🇺🇾 06 a 08 DNews al amanecer 08 a 12 DNews a la mañana 12 a 14 DNews primera edición 14 a 20 DNews a la tarde 20 a 22 DNews central Horarios 🇨🇴 🇪🇨 🇵🇪 04 a 06 DNews al amanecer 06 a 10 DNews a la mañana 10 a 12 DNews primera edición 12 a 18 DNews a la tarde 18 a 20 DNews central Seguinos en Nuestras Redes: X https://twitter.com/DNewsOK Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dnewsok Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dnewsok/ Threads https://www.threads.net/@dnewsok Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@dnewsok Somos DNews.
