that girl shooting is the real star of the vid. she made every shot, if that was me i'd be thinking "holy shit, that's michael jordan!" I wouldn't be able to concentrate. she obviously listened to MJ.
His the best basketball player, teaching people who to play basketball and the most important part is His ENGLISH.. We can easily understand what his trying to say and he got sense of humor too.. :D That's why his my IDOL..
there's truth to what some people are saying about athletes these days having no class and trying to look tough. Michael is the greatest because he never acted ghetto and shit like that and is actually working things out in his head all the time not just trying to be a hot shot.
whatever works best with you. in my shot, i use my point, middle, and ring along with my thumb. i notice kobe uses this method as well. use whatever feels comfortable. i can use the 3 fingers mj says, but 4 feels better for me.
Damn it Jordan couldn't you have done this video while Shaq was in high school?!!!! Shaq would have average about 50 points per game had he seen this.............
it's almost impossible for Mj to misse dshots,but if you are talking at the same time,it takes your concentration..the reason why you missed your shot..so i would do is juz listen to Mj ...and learn...
@Brawler484 not tryin to be an ass but MJ was actually said to have one of the biggest egos of any other basketball player . i agree with the ghetto and shit but he is a lil on tha hotshot side. but who wouldnt be if they were that good .
My free throw ritual involves punching the referee in the stomach after he gives me the ball. I find that this relaxes me and gives me a lot of confidence...
i dont undastand how u cud judge the type of person he is from one 6 minute video... none of yah kno anything about him besides wat the media is portrayin... hes a normal dude.... he had problems at home, cheated on his wife, got divorced, has a gamblin problem... was an alcoholic for a minute all we can take from this video is that he knows how to play ball... not that hes articulate, smart, funny, a nice guy none of that much respect to MJ on the court tho, greatest to eva do it
that's all well and good when you have hands that could palm a pumpkin...shooting with three fingers...i guess I better shoot freethrows with a baseball then...lol
LOL, so evryone watchin this vid, take note of these tips, just remember when the fans r waving the mascots distractin u, and evryones screamin your name,... uve probly,..got a few millions in the bank xD
yea your pointing finger points straight ahead thats why....but MJ is right becuz i cant play basketball for shit but i cant shoot really well all the crossovers and dribbles....not me goin to the rim not me spot up shooter i'm deadly and i never realized it until this video thats how i shoot with those three fingers plus it would be pretty hard to get around not shooting with your middle finger thats the last finger the ball touches
when you are learning from the best ... you already feel like a better player
that girl shooting is the real star of the vid. she made every shot, if that was me i'd be thinking "holy shit, that's michael jordan!" I wouldn't be able to concentrate. she obviously listened to MJ.
free throws helps you develop your jump shots as well, always keep the same form
He's the best basketball player I've never ever seen!
this really helped me alot!
thank u MJ & shahtoosh
shaq needs to watch this
yes watching these NBA fundmentals are great for learning how to do it like the pros and shows how good speakers they are
Yall try using a tennis ball or a baseball/softball to shoot free throws,that's how it is for Shaq.
Thank you MJ!
His the best basketball player, teaching people who to play basketball and the most important part is His ENGLISH.. We can easily understand what his trying to say and he got sense of humor too.. :D That's why his my IDOL..
Sort but HUGE.
Almost 50% of Basketball in 6 minutes and a.. "Solution" of being Free in societies ! The Gods may bless you MJ ⚡🇬🇷💛
there's truth to what some people are saying about athletes these days having no class and trying to look tough. Michael is the greatest because he never acted ghetto and shit like that and is actually working things out in his head all the time not just trying to be a hot shot.
Good tips!I'm teaching my daughter the same thing.
how lucky is that girl ? .. having mike rebounding for her .. getting tips and advices from the best !!
"Maybe because is not free" He is a genious...

that was a nice subtle jab at reggie miller, who did shoot accurately with two hands.
I remember my first trip to the free throw line. It felt like I was on an island, wish I had this tape lol.
Do any of you know if there's these videos anywhere else with better quality?
is there a concrete rule that says that you cannot jump while shooting a freetrow? or is not jumping simple a practice by convension?
3/21/13 Success in free throws are listening from greatness, And look at his feet classic jumpman Eddie Jones
is there a dvd for this or were these vids just posted on the net?
When did MJ make these videos?
thanks for the tips
a kid just comes in
Wow, this video taught me how to shoot!
very nice
anyone see the bandage?
Damn it Jordan couldn't you have done this video while Shaq was in high school?!!!! Shaq would have average about 50 points per game had he seen this.............
Did Shaq ever watch this?
Correction: Every kid playing basketball had that same pre-freethrow ritual as MJ. I still do it lol.
Jordan is very good !
good free throwz
it's almost impossible for Mj to misse dshots,but if you are talking at the same time,it takes your concentration..the reason why you missed your shot..so i would do is juz listen to Mj ...and learn...
lol at the end he basically uses THE SECRET to make free throws
yeah, I thought that part sounded familiar.
Chuck Hayes should watch this too :)
How to shoot free throws:
1. Throw the ball towards the basket
2. Make it
genial!!
DANG! He NEVER Gets Old!

@Brawler484 not tryin to be an ass but MJ was actually said to have one of the biggest egos of any other basketball player . i agree with the ghetto and shit but he is a lil on tha hotshot side. but who wouldnt be if they were that good .
by that I mean if you use your thumb too much, it will cause a bad spin on the ball.
his airness!
Si tuviera que tirar tiros libres con Jordan cogiendo los rebotes me fallarían las piernas y no metería ni uno :P
Geniales los videos. MJ es DIOS
Thats a moving screen plus a Offensive or defensive foul, depending on wat u were doing. THe ref probably didnt see it
If i had a million dollars for every pixel in this video i would be broke.
im with that
Im not talking about your guide hand thumb.
nice basketball teacher
MJ was saying the right things but he couldn't express himself clearly. =)
3 fingers, maybe ... but his middle finger is as long as my palm
tem de mostrar esse video pro Shaq
hauahhauhauhuha
he's the best :)
@prunesalexandrualin
well said.
I wonder if Shaq is watching this.....Hey Shaq!!
legends
chido
@Bigturns33 why you gotta bring Jesus into this man?
@Chaotixxx lol .. your right ..
My free throw ritual involves punching the referee in the stomach after he gives me the ball. I find that this relaxes me and gives me a lot of confidence...
i wanna play basket!!
Today I bought a basketball and after 6 years I played again. 100 throws, 4 times in :)
i dont undastand how u cud judge the type of person he is from one 6 minute video... none of yah kno anything about him besides wat the media is portrayin...
hes a normal dude.... he had problems at home, cheated on his wife, got divorced, has a gamblin problem... was an alcoholic for a minute
all we can take from this video is that he knows how to play ball... not that hes articulate, smart, funny, a nice guy none of that
much respect to MJ on the court tho, greatest to eva do it
G.O.A.T
no you shot with the thumb index and middle fingers. The index and middle fingers should be the last to touch the ball.
@thedaminsh sarcasm right?
that's all well and good when you have hands that could palm a pumpkin...shooting with three fingers...i guess I better shoot freethrows with a baseball then...lol
It's a video about free throw shooting. What else is going to talk about?
nice one. hahah lol.
shaq hahah.
If I had a penny for every time he said "free throw" I would be rich...
@thedaminsh um...Kobe learned from the best...and that's Jordan period!!
He makes it sound so complicated. We all know free throws are the easiest.
Nine times out of ten
Lol,epic.
@redred007able MJ = michael jackson? waaa?
'Pistol' pete maravich says the ball should be on ur finger PAD instead of tip... he shows the correct motion but says the wrong term
amen.
If you didn't notice this video is from 2006.
9 times out of ten
didnt say another important thing about keeping balance with your feet. its like bouncing on them a little
21 dislikes was from shaq cuz no free throw tips can help him
shaq favorited the video
Jordan helped me immensely with my shot.. Twitter? @KPOWAS
@Chaotixxx lmfao
and Chuck Hayes
LOL, so evryone watchin this vid, take note of these tips, just remember when the fans r waving the mascots distractin u, and evryones screamin your name,... uve probly,..got a few millions in the bank xD
HAQ A SHAQ
taht wuz a lil too harsh
what about ben wallace!!!!!
lol that gurl shoots like pau gasol
yeah your index and middle touch the ball last.
theyre talking bout shaq mr. noob
2:43
lol, i know right!
and jermaine's ft% is only 70%
YO MJ,,,Why haven't ou taught that to Shaq? the guy shoots blanks and air balls for a living (No offence Shaq but you that already)
And Lebron ;)
yeah and a basketball is 1 to 2 pounds and when your hands are bigger than the ball you can just flick your wrist
yea your pointing finger points straight ahead thats why....but MJ is right becuz i cant play basketball for shit but i cant shoot really well all the crossovers and dribbles....not me goin to the rim not me spot up shooter i'm deadly and i never realized it until this video thats how i shoot with those three fingers plus it would be pretty hard to get around not shooting with your middle finger thats the last finger the ball touches
i disagree, i think the FT is the easiest shot in the game, it just requires more ark, therefore requires more bend on ur knees since ur not jumpin
