00:00Free throws.
00:00Let's address that.
00:02I think this is a blessing in disguise.
00:04Now you have an excuse?
00:05No, no, no, no.
00:06It's not about an excuse.
00:07Mitchell Robinson, just in case you don't know the numbers for this postseason,
00:11is 13 for 43 from the free throw line.
00:14That is 30%.
00:16That is insanity.
00:18Like, that's not, he's a bad free throw shooter.
00:21That's like some of the worst garbage you've ever seen.
00:23Right?
00:24It's worse than last year.
00:25It's worse than the year before that.
00:26Like, he is at an all-time funk when it comes to shooting free throws.
00:30We acknowledge that.
00:32We all know it.
00:33We've seen teams hack him on purpose.
00:35This allows and maybe forces Mitchell Robinson to do the Rick Barry,
00:40which he should have been.
00:41Yes!
00:41Oh, come on.
00:42Why, come on?
00:43Rick Barry did, and he tells people.
00:45Rick Barry has said this for years.
00:46Guys should do it.
00:47And the reason they don't do it is because they're going to get made fun of
00:50and the way it looks.
00:51Well, when you're shooting 30% from the line, wouldn't you try anything?
00:54I mean, in theory, yes.
00:57But I think tall guys like Mitch, they have problems shooting free throws
01:02because they're so high already.
01:05So to think about the arc.
01:07Doesn't hurt Wimby.
01:08I know, but Wimby has a shot.
01:10Like, he knows how to shoot with an arc.
01:13Mitchell Robinson just kind of tries to throw it in the basket.
01:16Exactly.
01:16Because he's so tall.
01:17So if you go underhand and you just flip it up.
01:19Right.
01:20It creates the arc.
01:20So I think this allows you, and I've seen Mitchell Robinson practice this.
01:25Like, I'm not even joking you.
01:27Joking with you.
01:27I've seen it.
01:28I was at the garden a couple of weeks ago, and he was shooting underhand.
01:31Now, he wasn't doing it a lot.
01:32He didn't do it the entire time.
01:34But he did it, which shows you it's in his mind.
01:36I think this is a rookie of the year opportunity.
01:39I'm talking about the movie Rookie of the Year,
01:40where the kid got injured and all of a sudden he threw 98 miles an hour.
01:43Yes.
01:44This allows Mitchell Robinson an excuse.
01:47To shoot underhand.
01:48To shoot underhand.
01:48And you can't tell me it can be worse.
01:51He shot 30% from the line so far.
