Yall ready for Mitch to unlock his ft shooting? He’s about to go ⁴⁄₉ so hard

I_AM_DEATH-INCARNATE

57 | 39 minutes ago

Lmao this reminds me of the Syracuse-UConn 6OT game, in which sub 50% ft shooter Arinze Onuaku hit both free throws in crunch time of regulation to send the game into the first OT.

I think that was the first time all season he’d hit both free throws when he was shooting two.

Gavina4444 | ORL

1 | 32 minutes ago

That’s almost impossible to be a 50% FT shooter and not hit both FTs before then. That also means he never went 0/2 before that?

98rman | CLE

1 | 31 minutes ago

He could have had a decent amount of 1/1s

I_AM_DEATH-INCARNATE

1 | 30 minutes ago

He had a lot of And-1’s, but he was also notorious for missing the first of two. Also, a little bit of hyperbole(maybe a lot).

And I just looked it up, I thought he was mid 40s but he actually finished his career 39.5%

Aggressive_Will_7703

1 | 29 minutes ago

My first thought as well. Unless he had ultra low volume. But he said sub 50%. 5% is technically sub 50%.

ngerb_5 | Pacers

College so a lot of one and one’s

DickBottalico | 76ers

1 | 10 minutes ago

He was 37 for 124 that season, good for 29.8%

Looking at his game log, there were only 47 opportunities (before that OT game) he could have had a two-shot foul, and probably less given the likelihood I’m counting two one-shot fouls as a two-shot attempt.

The odds of hitting both foul shots when you’re a 29.8% shooter is 8.9%. So the odds of missing at least one, 47 straight times, is 0.91^47 = 1.2%

Again it’s probably much higher than 1.2% but I’m not going through play by play data

yes. same thing. hand mask.

My first thought on hearing about his injury was “Oh God what will we ever do if Mitch can’t shoot the ball well”

mccainjames11 | POR

when Giannis got hurt before the finals it fixed his FT shooting for a series

FKJVMMP | MIL

Nah he still only shot 59% games 1-5, it was just that one game he was on one.

smileyfrown | Knicks

1 | 4 minutes ago

Literally all he has to do is take one step back and he’ll hit his free throws

decisionagonized | Bucks

I think Mitch wearing a brace on his hand might actually improve his free throw percentage. It literally could not get worse

BetweenTheBuzzAndMe | Charlotte Bobcats

Counterpoint: numbers below 30% exist

DanTheMan14331 | Knicks

24 | 39 minutes ago

well he shot 2-14 against the Cavs so I think there’s a real chance he can shoot more effectively with his left hand only lol

ArmiinTamzarian | Spurs

13 | 36 minutes ago

He should be allowed to try to kick the ball into the basket

mongster03_ | Knicks

1 | 27 minutes ago

I bet the Brazilians or the French could teach him how to do that when they get here

clownus | Knicks

Sochan is on the same team. He could literally learn from the guy who fixed his free throw shooting.

mojo-jojo-was-framed | Mavericks

7 | 34 minutes ago

He seriously should. I can’t see how it would be worse than shooting FTs in the 40s

Complete_Crazy_4887

BlazeBBQ | Mavericks

No. It would probably be easier on his pinky to do it granny

mr_grission | Knicks

74 | 42 minutes ago

Mitch I think you should shoot your FTs granny style to, uh, protect your finger

borgy_t | NBA

1 | 25 minutes ago

Sochan needs to teach him to shoot one handed

blurr90 | Knicks

1 | 11 minutes ago

That wouldn’t help. He shoots his FTs with basically no arc, throwing them nearly straight at the rim.

He’d be better off trying to do a bank shot - or simply adding some arc. How hard can that be? He doesn’t even have a shooting form you need to break because he doesn’t shoot anyway…

smalls_1804 | Knicks

1 | 7 minutes ago

Next contract negotiation Leon needs to include a clause where Mitch gets $1 million bonus if he shoots granny style FTs. No pressure, no directive or anything like that. Coaches can’t say shit. Just a quiet cool mil waiting for you if you do it

lol yall are such assholes. Guy literally just played through an appendectomy and has a long history of playing through injuries. Against the Knicks he played through ankle and hip injuries.

But sure, the guy shooting 30% from the free throw line as a professional basketball player is the harder worker

Whether he chooses to or not, he’s still injury prone haha

kyleh092

1 | 30 minutes ago

Everyone has some sort of immutable trait about themselves that they are a bit self conscious about. You being 5’5” probably doesn’t come under as much scrutiny compared to what Joel deals with. The height just being an example of course

IllAlwaysBeAKnickFan | Knicks

1 | 14 minutes ago

Kinda done with feeling bad for him once he moved to trying to injure the other team. Imagine your career being ruined because of injuries and you try to bring others down with you, despite knowing how bad it feels.

They’ll ruin the flow and go into the penalty. Also they need their bench after 7 games. If hacking disabled teams it would be much more widely used.
