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. . . .

On this segment of the Garden Level Podcast, hosts Cam Stuart and Dan Conlon are joined by Black N Gold Productions draft and prospects analyst Neil Simmons to debate one of the biggest questions facing the Boston Bruins this offseason: will the organization make a massive blockbuster trade to maximize the prime years of superstar David Pastrnak? Neil Simmons lays out why he believes the Bruins should seriously consider going all-in this summer — even if it means moving elite prospect James Hagens in a blockbuster package for proven No. 1 center Robert Thomas of the St. Louis Blues. The guys discuss why Boston’s lack of an elite top-line center has prevented the Bruins from fully capitalizing on Pastrnak’s prime, how Robert Thomas could immediately transform the Bruins’ offense, and whether trading a highly touted young prospect like Hagens is worth the risk if it reopens a legitimate Stanley Cup window. Cam Stuart, Dan Conlon, and Neil Simmons also break down what a realistic trade package could look like, whether the Blues would even entertain moving Thomas, and how aggressive Boston’s front office should be heading into a pivotal offseason for the franchise. 🔥 Topics Covered: • Should the Bruins go all-in this summer? • Why Neil Simmons would trade James Hagens • Could Robert Thomas become Boston’s No. 1 center? • Maximizing David Pastrnak’s Stanley Cup window • What a Bruins blockbuster trade package could look like • The future direction of the Bruins franchise 📺 Subscribe to the Garden Level Podcast for Bruins coverage, NHL trade rumors, prospect analysis, and weekly Boston hockey discussions with Cam Stuart and Dan Conlon.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. San Antonio Spurs | Game 5 Series Tied 2-2 | The Hunt Continues at Target Center! The North is howling! After a grueling split in San Antonio, this heavyweight clash returns to Minneapolis with everything on the line. The Timberwolves are looking to reclaim the momentum on their home floor, but they’re facing a relentless Spurs squad that has proven they can thrive under pressure. It’s a classic battle of veteran poise versus rising dominance, and in a Best-of-3 sprint to the finish, Game 5 is where legends are made. 🌟 THE HEADLINERS: The Twin Towers vs. The Alien Karl-Anthony Towns & Rudy Gobert vs. Victor Wembanyama The interior battle is nothing short of cinematic. "Wemby" has been a defensive nightmare this postseason, shattering rookie playoff records with his shot-blocking and versatile scoring (24.5 PPG, 4.2 BPG). He’s the focal point of a Spurs system that refuses to quit. However, the Wolves’ duo of KAT and Gobert presents a physical challenge unlike any other. While Gobert anchors the paint, Towns has been the offensive spark, averaging 26.8 PPG in the series and stretching the floor to pull Wembanyama away from the rim. The Matchup Can the Timberwolves' depth and home-court advantage wear down the young Spurs, or will Wembanyama deliver another otherworldly performance to push Minnesota to the brink of elimination? 👇 DON’T MISS OUR NEXT LIVESTREAM! 👇 🟣 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theg2gchannel 🔵 Discord: https://discord.gg/AQug94NZxm 🔴 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheG2GChannelLive
