He's tried shooting them underhanded.
So if you're going to approach Andre Roberson with free-throw shooting advice — and he'd rather you didn't, but knows from experience that you might — you can scratch that technique off your list.
“I tried it in practice,” Roberson said, mimicking a two-handed underhand toss. “That s--- does not work. I'm sorry.”
It was worth a shot.
Last season, Roberson shot a career-low 42.3 percent from the free-throw line. The Thunder guard bottomed out in a five-game playoff series loss to Houston, making 3 of 21 free-throw attempts. Late in games, the Rockets turned to intentionally fouling Roberson to send him to the line.
