If you need a made free throw, don't send a local celebrity to the line.
For the second straight year, the Rockets have had the "First Shot" where a celebrity takes a free throw for charity before each home game. If the celebrity makes the shot, the Rockets give $5,000 to charity. If they miss the shot, the Rockets give $1,000 to charity.

Last season, celebrities made 17 shots in 51 home games. In this year's regular season, celebrities are 13-for-41, which somehow is the exact same result celebrities had in the regular season last year.
