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. . . .

NETBALL - 2010 COMM GAMES - NEW ZEALAND vs ENGLAND
NETBALL - 2010 COMM GAMES NEW ZEALAND vs ENGLAND At the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the New Zealand netball team topped their pool with four easy victories and a 47–41 win over England. They then won their semi-final against Jamaica comfortably, while the Australian Diamonds’ five-goal margin over England in the other semi-final suggested they were a capable match for the Silver Ferns, their traditional rivals. Just how close the teams were became clear as the match, the longest official game of netball ever played, stretched over 84 pulsating minutes. The match was tight until the Silver Ferns led by seven goals early in the fourth quarter. An Australian comeback reminiscent of their surge to victory in the 1999 world championships final levelled the scores at full-time. There was still nothing between the two teams after 14 minutes of extra time. Under a rule which its drafters surely never expected to be needed, play would continue until one team was two goals ahead. Both Australian shooters missed their chance for glory; Maria Tutaia did not, and the Silver Ferns won 66–64. The epic victory won New Zealand’s second consecutive Commonwealth Games netball gold medal and matched Australia’s triumphs in 1998 and 2002. The balance has subsequently shifted once again. In 2014 the Australian Diamonds thrashed the Silver Ferns 58–40 in the gold medal match. In 2018 the New Zealanders failed to reach the final for the first time and were beaten 60–55 by Jamaica for the bronze. It was scant consolation that the Australasian duopoly was broken when Helen Housby scored in the last second of the final to give England a one-goal victory over Australia.

🇫🇷 Yssam Moungalla (6’6) born in 05 Elite Shooter & 3-and-D Wing Potential | Monaco vs Paris
🇫🇷 Yssam Moungalla — Scouting Report (AS Monaco | Betclic ELITE) Profile • Position: Wing • Height: 6’6 • Born: 2005 • Team: AS Monaco • League: Betclic ELITE • Archetype: 3-and-D wing / floor-spacing specialist ⸻ 📊 Full Game Performance vs Paris Basketball (EuroLeague Team) 👉 15 PTS — 3 REB — 1 AST — 1 STL — 13 EVAL ⏱ 18 MIN 🎯 Shooting Splits • 2PT: 0/2 • 3PT: 4/8 (50%) • FT: 3/4 (75%) ➡️ High-level shooting performance against elite competition. ⸻ 🧠 Scouting Evaluation 🎯 Elite Floor Spacing (Main Strength) Moungalla completely embraced his role as a perimeter spacer in this matchup. His impact offensively came almost entirely through shooting gravity and off-ball efficiency. 👉 What stood out: * Quick release mechanics * Immediate confidence off the catch * Excellent readiness positioning ➡️ Constantly punished defensive rotations and late closeouts. The ability to get shots off quickly without needing rhythm dribbles is highly valuable for modern spacing systems. ⸻ ⚡ Catch-and-Shoot Profile 👉 4 made threes against a EuroLeague-level opponent is significant. What makes it more interesting: * Shot within flow * Didn’t force offense * Maintained spacing discipline throughout the game ➡️ True catch-and-shoot wing archetype. At 6’6, that type of perimeter efficiency naturally increases long-term role translation. ⸻ 🧩 Off-Ball IQ / Role Understanding One of the strongest aspects of his performance was his understanding of role and offensive structure: * Relocated correctly * Timed movements well * Stayed available as an outlet shooter 👉 Played simple and efficient basketball. This is important because: * Many young wings try to overcreate * Moungalla instead maximized possessions through efficiency and spacing value ➡️ Winning role-player traits. ⸻ 🎮 Offensive Role Projection Right now, most of his offensive value comes from: * Spot-up shooting * Floor spacing * Off-ball movement The self-creation package remains limited at this stage, but the shooting gravity alone creates offensive impact. 👉 Potential next development areas: * Attacking closeouts more consistently * Improving handle under pressure * Expanding secondary creation ability
