The reason behind the Spurs’ historical season at the charity stripe

The San Antonio Spurs have not always been known for their free-throw shooting. They were often mediocre at best, largely thanks to the players who took the most free-throws on the team being average FT-shooters . Tim Duncan shot just a hair below a 70% from the line for his career and only exceeded 75% three times (‘00, ‘02, ‘13). Tony Parker was better with a career average of 75.1% at the charity stripe, and Manu Ginobili was a career 82.7% shooter, but it was still not enough to help boost the Spurs into the upper echelon of the league.
