It is mental b/c there is nothing complicated about shooting FTs.

'Member when Snaq had that professional FT shooter coach him? Seems like that did not end well.
Is chronic FT missing strictly mental?
Why do you say so?
Solution if indeed it is all mental?
A logical explanation why it's 90% talls?

The majority of NBA bigs are borderline mentally re ed. This is a fact.
Is a nervous tic.
Some people, no matter what they do, react to certain nerve triggers.

I can make threads on spurstalk
Marjanovic palm size is humongous, doesn't have the best shooting mechanics, and his upper body strength seems burdensome, three factors that often cited as the source of trouble for bigmen FT capability. Well, the Bobinator shoots >70% from the charity line, and he shot quite a lot too to be significant statistically. Yeah, i think it's all mental, that "focus" thing IMHO.
No, like 5% mental.
Why is it called the charity stripe? At the same time, they say "send him to the line, make him earn the points".
After a certain point, yes. Especially for guys whose job it is to make them
Only because the oversized ape was paraded to the line repeatedly due to Laker marketing privilege.
Don't think this continued when he joined the Heat and was cut off food stamps.
Additionally,
83% Yao Ming
78% Unibrow Davis
72% Robert Parish
72% Kream Jabbar
i don't think so. Just because your arms are big, it doesn't mean that the sensibility is too diminished to shoot them. it's a lot likelier but it's not a sure thing. However if you look at guys like dwight and drummond, their shooting form is bad, the trajectory is bad, the strength is too much, the ball feels like a brick, their feet are all over the place and always differently and so on.. Even timmy and Tiago needed to focus on the form and when that was fixed, the confidence comes naturally.
The white European bigs are almost always >70% tbh. This is because they actually practice these and other skill shots growing up instead of spending their childhood and teen years learning 9879 ways to dunk like the black American monkeyballers.
OP forgot to mention TD who had a 1/17 game and a 15/15 game in the same week one time... and TP who has been in the 70's career wise but tends to miss them when they count most.
