Mitchell Robinson shows the haters that he can make two free throws in a row
not shown is the guy strung to the ceiling caching his miss and dropping a new ball through the net
Video didn’t show them installing magnets on the rim
Need the 70MM imax edit
Yeah the fact that the ball even goes out of frame is unrealistic, it’s usually a straight fucking line at the rim lol
Taking over the top comment to say I saw Mitch make 21⁄24 before Game 3 of the finals. This is meaningless. His motion completely changes in games.
That was actually a 2 hour long video of nonstop shot attempts
“No one goes home until I make two in a row!”
Can’t see his face either. Gotta be AI
Iverson isn’t that tall.
We talkin bout free throws
Maybe. Robinson does love to make AI slop.
This is frying me
That’s how you improve your ft%. So not a second wasted in this endeavor answering his haters.
You know he popped off after the camera was off
I thought the same thing. So surprised there weren’t people jumping up and down cheering after he hit the second shot
I have seen Dwight Howard look like Steph Curry in practice with no pressure so…
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/RZ72cfdXyw
Dwight 82% in practice on 1500 shots
This always pops up and really for people who have actually played competitive basketball (I sucked, but I played) it’s not surprising at all and you don’t even have to go to the pressure part of it. If you get a chance to shoot a bunch of free throws in a row without pausing, you easily increase your shooting percentage a bunch.
I had a coach who would make us run down to the other free throw line and back after two free throws to simulate how it is in a game. Tanked my shooting percentage a ton compared to just shooting a bunch in a row (and I was a decent free throw shooter).
I also played competitive basketball and sucked lol. Our coach made us shoot free throws immediately after sprints to achieve the same effect. I remember being relatively good at pressure free throws though, on the RARE occasion we kept things close enough to actually have free throws that qualified as “under pressure” LOL. Probably was more due to the fact that we never had real pressure since we sucked so bad.
Never got on the court for crunch time so I’ll never know lmao.
It’s not even about the stamina, you can run up and down the court all you want in prac these players would still not tank their % but in game with the pressure of people watching it’s a different thing, you can’t replicate pressure this is a thing in all sports where players can choke even at the simplest thing
Shooting alone in the mark- make, make, make
Someone walks by, they might be watching me shoot- clank, clank, clank
I’ll admit I was never good enough to be shooting free throws in actual pressure situations. I’m just saying that the rhythm of shooting free throws one after another improved my shooting percentages a lot vs having them broken up.
I have this post saved as well. I break it out in these convos too.
As has Mitch lol
I’m not surprised at all but this is still actually fucking insane at the same time 😂😂
They’re part of the All NBA 1st Practice team next to Ben Simmons
They’re the best of the best.
That’s not Mitch, that’s Kevin Durant. /s
Lmao what the fuck. I can’t remember the last time I saw Mitch move that quick.
He also hit 7 straight free throws during our championship season.
https://youtube.com/shorts/Z6gfkvLINAw?is=K6YtbVCfSlwkiaN7
Went 7-8 that night I think.
Yea I remember when I was UCLA once Dwight Howard was shooting free throws at the gym and a few of us were watching him, he made like 90% of them
A lot of casual fans underestimate how players perform under pressure in front of fans and hostile fans. You can’t replicate a regular season, real game in any other environment. They say even college is different. Players have said just the pace and speed in nba is different from college alone.
Every NBA player looks like a combination of Steph Curry and Michael Jordan when they are just working out in the gym.
Our other center Queta drains three pointers one after another in warm ups and there’s no way in hell he’s shooting those in game
Brother just look at effing Ben Simmons yearly workout videos.
The torch has been passed
I can understand why 3-pts are harder in game, much harder. You simply have less time to take them in a real game vs. practice
Free throws? It’s literally the same move except there is more pressure. I could see going from 80 to 70%, but 80 to 40% seems insane to me
It’s gotta be mental. His shots in games look like line drives
yeah apparently he’s always been able to make a ton in a row in practice. as soon as the game starts he’s fried
nba players are generally sharp shooters in pratice and in streetball lol
Yeah I’m not hyping my breath for like 60% this year
This is how he’s looked in practice for us too.
Same with Shaq and Dwight Howard.
That was my first thought – these look like much better attempts than what he usually does in game. Hopefully he has improved his form. I still think he should just go granny style and get it over with. Its insane that they don’t just make granny style the default for non-shooting bigs. If they called it something cool like “goliath-style” or “tractor-style” Mitch might do it. Maybe if enough bigs do it, we can change the name.
If only Canyon Barry made it into the NBA
As my coach used to say: “Free throw shooting is all in the squash.”
Throws opponents off his elite Post Defense
League fucked
Do it in the game bro, Simmons can also hit three during training
Damn beat me to it by seconds
hey hes not doing that weird spin the ball thing right before he releases.
Amazing level of skill for a professional basketball player
I love Mitch and they wouldn’t have won the ring without him but I also will not miss Hack-a-Mitch during games
I can’t wait for the first hack a Mitch against the Celtics this year
Yeah especially how many times Mazzula used to pull it
Fifty-seventh time’s the charm.
Look at the sweat on that shirt probably been there for hours
Now do it in-game.
From here his form doesn’t look bad, then you watch a game….
Celtics fans, be ready for the yearly offseason “Mitch is in the gym hitting free throws” thing that will give you hope only to never see it in game.
and hitting fadeaway 3’s lol
Na, it’s the same crap with everyone that can’t shoot in game during offseason. Or the annual Luka looks in shape bs.
Annual and its only been 2 years
Does he actually have haters or is it just that people see that he sucks at in-game FTs and his stats prove it?
Mostly a meme because Big Country was our big meme lord for so long
Idk ball leaves frame, and then reenters for a swish? Pretty sus if you ask meeeee
I’ve never seen him put an arc on his fta ever. Is this actually even Mitch?
Lol came in to joke about the same thing
To Celtics fans: he also posted these vids every offszn for us too lol
Celtics fans can now get their hopes up about Mitch’s off season workouts. He had one early on in his career that had me convinced he was going to be a 2 way star
Ben Simmons and Rudy Gobert can hit threes in prac vids too
His issue was in-game, not practice. Let’s see how he handles the boston pressure
Lol, the only thing that matters is how he does at the ft line in the playoffs, and we know in that situation he’s the worst in the league.
The mazzulla effect
How much weight did Luka and Zion lose this off-season and how is Ben Simmons jumper looking?
Mitch practicing free throws is not the same. He doesn’t even look the same. Knicks fans have seen him shoot high arc repetitive free throws in practice for years only to then see him throw darts at the rim.
Not much pressure in a practice Gym with no score on the line, or many other contributing factors
I’ve seen Ben Simmons shoot consecutive 3s. This is worth nothing
He has videos like this every offseason.
As a Knicks fan I love Mitch and will miss him, but this isn’t going to change much come real game time free throw scenarios.
I bet this was like The Office when Michael kept missing his backwards shot…catch you on the flippity flip bonk!
Love Mitch…BUT did you know he also has a deadly 3 point shot AND a jump shot - keep seeing the practice videos it will show up
That’s summer Mitch. Best shooting big man of all time
I guarantee he can probably make 100 free throws in a row in practice. It happens a lot of times to these athletes.
100% ft rate incoming… math is math
Thought it was gonna be a bunch to prove a point but no it’s literally just him making 2
Don’t let the Celtics bully you like this Mitch 😭
Of course he hit those free throws in practice, but obviously it doesn’t matter much when it comes to in game. Been in the league for 8 years and he shot the lowest ft percentage in his entire career. Until then it’s still hack a Mitch.
Still not in a game let alone the playoffs…love you Mitch! You’ll always be a Knick.
Anyone could make consecutive free throws in an open gym lol
An NBA player not being able to hit free throws will forever baffle me
Attempts #231 and #232, finally, two in a row go in!
SHOOT THE GRANDMA! THE WORLD WILL LOVE YOU. You’ll get paid too.
He does this every off season. When he practices he has a nice arc on his fts. For some reason during games the arc disappears and it becomes a line drive
It’s so obvious that there’s a guy suspended out of frame catching his shot attempts and another guy out of frame throwing the ball in. At least fake it better.
Oh Mitchell, welcome to the offseason slander cast, joining Ben Simmons and Zion Williamson as players acting like this next season will be different than the seasons prior
Also men’s health cover Luka
Do any Knicks fans remember the summer hype of Mitch shooting 3s on video?
Ben Simmons ahh video
in an empty gym took them 3hours to get back to back fts in 1 clip
lol
Sometimes I watch those nba players from behind and can’t help but drool. I wish I played in the league to watch those muscular..tight men in the locker room
AI. Slop
It would have been hilarious if he posted two shots spliced together while wearing different clothes in different locations.
They should’ve specified and moved the goal post in an NBA game during playoffs under clutch time situations. L Bait cmon bait harder than that
If he’d made more than two in a row he’d have posted more, this was the best streak of the day…
He’s lame for interacting with ppl so much lol Do your work in silence
Shaq can shoot 3s in the gym as well,.
It’s like the Ben Simmons videos where he makes all those 3’s in scrimmage…..but we know what it looks like during a game!
Would have been very funny if there was a comedically obvious cut before the 2nd make
i dont trust it. The top of the screen is cut off, how do we know there isnt someone catching and dropping the ball into the net
Bro should’ve changed the shirt, we know those are attempts 3483 & 3484
Didn’t see the trajectory of the ball, cannot prove it!
A.i
Knicks Legend Mitchell Robinson
He does this every year, along with 3pt shots.
Brother is not gonna improve 😂
Take 437… annnnnnnd we got it. Finally. That’s a wrap everybody. Yes, you will all be getting overtime, please stop complaining about having to drive home at 2 am.
He can hit 3s in that gym too… he cant do none of that shit in a real game…
Robinson filming this
You’ll notice the video cuts before the third attempt.
He gets paid how much?? This supposed to be impressive or something?
I thought the video was the one free throw looped at first lol
Just do the granny shot
Wow … Ai as gotten pretty advanced.
If this dude becomes even a slightly below average free throw shooter for the Celtics I’ll be so annoyed lol
I’ve seen him play the perimeter like he’s TMac.
AI
Can he make it in game after running up and down the court?
Lmfao Celtics fans are in for a rude awakening
His shirt is soaked because it has taken so many attempts to reach two in a row.
if you omit his shortened 17 games played 2024-2025 season, Michell Robinson’s FT % has gone down every single year played in the NBA.
That’s easy when there is no pressure. Let’s see him do that with a game on the line.
No crowd though
You don’t see them? All wearing blue.
One game last year he actually made most of his free throws
Mitch might be a 40% free throw shooter in game last season. But he’s at least a 45% free throw shooter during practice
Underrated hashtag
I was expecting an obvious cut
He should have trolled, said he was gonna make’em bof’, then airballed.
Seriously, though. It actually looks better. Instead of holding it above his head and catapulting horizontally, he is holding below his head, and then goes up. If he can turn that into one motion instead of stopping, he’ll be at 60% for sure.
Meh
His form looks better. 🤷
He shouldn’t have to do this. (Unless he actually never practices there is no need for this.)
He knows the work he put in to make it where he is. Nothing to prove to the internet.
You can’t even see if he’s standing on the free throw line. It’s a perspective trick
Wow
Still blows my mind how hard the Celtics trolled this dude for years fouling him and having him completely crumble and get subbed out. And now he’s the starting guy 😂
I for one am extremely excited for the most unprecedented FT reversal in NBA history
I’ve seen this before.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO OUR BOIIIIII!!!
Do people think that Mitch (or any bad free throw shooter) wasn’t making them in practice his whole life? This isn’t new in the slightest.
Yes, because the whole point is establishing a consistent motion and routine. He’s never done that, so there’s no reason to think that he has ever made more than 2 in a row in practice.
da goat doing goat things
Congrats .. lol
Yo, why so low or cut out. Show me that trajectory of the missi…ball. Come on now lol
NBA CHAMP
It’s a mental thing, unfortunately.
Hate the Celtics, but I’ll always love Big Mitch - honestly hoping he figures this shit out and his glass ankles hold up this season.
Lmaoooo MRob needs to quit playin - I would bet the camera was rolling for like 15 minutes before this and then he finally connected on two in a row and the cropped then posted. LMAOOO ninja you aint foolin nobody.
AI slop
Horrible foul shooting aside, Knicks probably don’t win it all last year without him
edited or ai
AI SLOP
Fake AI
Was happy until I remembered hes on the celtics now as a celtics fan he better start making 50 in a row
Any nba player goes 96⁄100 at a minimum in an open gym setting.
Can I make up something that’s definitely not true next?
96⁄100 is an exaggeration, but Dwight Howard famously made 82% (1252⁄1532) from the line in practice.
