Actually, I'd be very surprised if Ray Allen didn't train free throws every single day. That's what the great free throw shooters do. And have typically done every day of their life since they were young. They understand that free throw shooting is not the same as jump shooting and that to be good at it you need to be dedicated to practicing it routinely, generally shooting 100+ free throws a day.

That can't quite be replicated with the training one thing a week system of BB, but it doesn't change the fact that to be a good free throw shooter, a person needs to practice shooting free throws.

Yes, I do believe Ray Allen trains free throws a lot. Do you think Jack Nicklaus didn't go to the driving range because he was a naturally gifted golfer? Do you think Albert Pujols doesn't take BP because he is a great hitter? That is honestly one of the dumbest statements I have yet to read on this forum. Not sure if you have ever heard of George Gervin, but he was one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. He used to stay after practice for two hours EVERY day, shooting.

suspension of reality- players train only one skill area per week. Players never train FT. Staff who get a pay raise every week. A professional basketball league in Thailand. Attendance dropping dramatically because of one loss. having a transfer list for basketball players. Thai players having white skin and orange hair. I am sure people could add many more examples.

Oh, and Otis Birdsong and Sherman Douglas. That's two without thinking.
