How Knicks’ throwback made telling Hornacek impression

ORLANDO, Fla. — It’s the only time Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek has laughed during the Orlando summer league. Canyon Barry stepped to the free-throw line Sunday and swished his underhanded attempt.

In part ode to his famous father, Rick Barry, Canyon will become the only NBA player to shoot underhanded free throws if he’s on the Knicks’ training-camp roster.

Canyon has done it that way since junior high school, unlike his two brothers, Jon and Brent, who had solid NBA careers as role players.

Hornacek, a shooting technician, hasn’t said a word to Canyon about it.
