About Time: Shaquille O'Neal Finally Learned How to Take Free Throws and Showed It Off on Social Media [Video]

During an event in which he participated with the press, Shaquille O’Neal showed that he still has room for improvement in basketball, despite retiring during the year 2011, and all thanks to the fact that the former Lakers was seen shooting free throws.

In said show, O’Neal decides to take several almost circular objects (because they were not balls) and taking advantage of the support of the public present, he decides to throw them towards an improvised hoop… And he hit them all.

In total, the former center made three attempts and managed to score all three on the rim, unleashing the hubbub of all those who were with him.

After this, he took to his social networks to upload the video and record his feat, although the curious thing was the message he added: “Keep talking about my free throws.”

But this is not the only proof that shows that it is now better “since the line”; In March of this year, during a concert that she gave with her alter ego, DJ Diesel, the public took a portable board and threw a ball at her so that she could try to hit it, to the surprise that O’Neal achieved the unprecedented basket.

Shaquille O’Neal’s free throws were always his weakest point in his career of 19 years in the best basketball in the world. In total there were 5 317 missed shots from the line, which allowed him to accumulate just one 52, 7% success which translates into almost one out of every two failed executions.

Its low effectiveness has been the subject of ridicule and laughter even by himself, appearing in the movie Scary Movie 4 as Shaq himself, missing free throws in his quest to survive, all this as a parody of the Saw saga.
