The fundamentals of free throws 

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!

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.

this really helped me alot! thank u MJ & shahtoosh

Thank you MJ!

that was a nice subtle jab at reggie miller, who did shoot accurately with two hands.

yes watching these NBA fundmentals are great for learning how to do it like the pros and shows how good speakers they are

how lucky is that girl ? .. having mike rebounding for her .. getting tips and advices from the best !!

Yall try using a tennis ball or a baseball/softball to shoot free throws,that's how it is for Shaq.

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.

a kid just comes in

"Maybe because is not free" He is a genious...

Wow, this video taught me how to shoot!

Correction: Every kid playing basketball had that same pre-freethrow ritual as MJ. I still do it lol.

thanks for the tips

I remember my first trip to the free throw line. It felt like I was on an island, wish I had this tape lol.

Good tips!I'm teaching my daughter the same thing.

Jordan is very good !

shaq needs to watch this

good free throwz

MJ was saying the right things but he couldn't express himself clearly. =)

very nice

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...

Chuck Hayes should watch this too :)

3/21/13 Success in free throws are listening from greatness, And look at his feet classic jumpman Eddie Jones

his airness!

I wonder if Shaq is watching this.....Hey Shaq!!

How to shoot free throws: 1. Throw the ball towards the basket 2. Make it

lol at the end he basically uses THE SECRET to make free throws

he's the best :)

im with that

legends

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...

If i had a million dollars for every pixel in this video i would be broke.

genial!!

nice basketball teacher

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

amen.

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

Today I bought a basketball and after 6 years I played again. 100 throws, 4 times in :)

Do any of you know if there's these videos anywhere else with better quality?

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

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.............

is there a dvd for this or were these vids just posted on the net?

3 fingers, maybe ... but his middle finger is as long as my palm

G.O.A.T

i wanna play basket!!

@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 .

Lol,epic.

@prunesalexandrualin well said.

chido

@thedaminsh um...Kobe learned from the best...and that's Jordan period!!

If I had a penny for every time he said "free throw" I would be rich...

tem de mostrar esse video pro Shaq hauahhauhauhuha

@Chaotixxx lol .. your right ..

is there a concrete rule that says that you cannot jump while shooting a freetrow? or is not jumping simple a practice by convension?

Nine times out of ten

He makes it sound so complicated. We all know free throws are the easiest.

9 times out of ten

HAQ A SHAQ

yeah, I thought that part sounded familiar.

by that I mean if you use your thumb too much, it will cause a bad spin on the ball.

nice one. hahah lol. shaq hahah.

Thats a moving screen plus a Offensive or defensive foul, depending on wat u were doing. THe ref probably didnt see it

lol, i know right!

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

lol that gurl shoots like pau gasol

DANG! He NEVER Gets Old! Wait, This Was Uploaded On April 04, 2006. Never Mind Then!

If you didn't notice this video is from 2006.

And Lebron ;)

shaq favorited the video

Im not talking about your guide hand thumb.

21 dislikes was from shaq cuz no free throw tips can help him

and Chuck Hayes

@Chaotixxx lmfao

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

Did Shaq ever watch this?

no you shot with the thumb index and middle fingers. The index and middle fingers should be the last to touch the ball.

'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

When did MJ make these videos?

Jordan helped me immensely with my shot.. Twitter? @KPOWAS

@Bigturns33 why you gotta bring Jesus into this man?

LOL ! That explain why he can´t do free throws !

@redred007able MJ = michael jackson? waaa?

hahaha, yeah sure, whateva

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)

didnt say another important thing about keeping balance with your feet. its like bouncing on them a little

anyone see the bandage?

yeah and a basketball is 1 to 2 pounds and when your hands are bigger than the ball you can just flick your wrist

taht wuz a lil too harsh

2:43

shaq dont use his fingertips .. his uses his fingernails !!

yeah your index and middle touch the ball last.

theyre talking bout shaq mr. noob

Los tiros libres son muy faciles pero te pueden jugar malas pasadas pero yo se una cosa:I'M not shaq

It's a video about free throw shooting. What else is going to talk about?

wow that tells me you get fouled a lot LOL
