How to cure Dwight's free throw problems

Dwight Howard is an incredible ballplayer. The strongest NBA player since Karl Malone. The best rebounder since Dennis Rodman back in the 90s (didn’t think you’d ever hear that name ever again). However, those *($&(*&# free throws are killing him. Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Lakers, all he had to do was make two free throws, and the series would have been tied. Unfortunately, he misses both, leading to the Lakers catching up, and the rest is miserable history. Two games ago, he could have made a couple free throws to take the lead in overtime. But alas, he misses both shots, the Magic lose, and their chance at the franchises’ first 10-game winning streak was ruined.

He is a great shooter, among the best in the NBA percentage-wise. Nonetheless, with those free throws, he clanks, clunkers, tanks, fails, etc. One magic fan pointed out that he focuses too much on the free throw, leading to added pressure, leading to him missing. I think he should totally have his mind on other things, anything else, except the free throw---maybe then his chances will improve. Here is a totally random list of things he should think about while prepping himself to throw the next free throw.

1) The greatest call in the history of college basketball

2) The totally underrated hotness that is Constance Marie

3) What restaurant he read about on the Floridian Cuisine Experience should he visit next (Hey, there is nothing that says that I can’t advertise my other blogs!)

4) Why the chat message sound effects on Facebook sound like N64 Legend of Zelda

5) Why there has not been a sequel to F-Zero GX

6) Why this ride still exists............

7) A random bit by Kevin Hart

8) What would have happened if Comedy Central had not put so much pressure on Chappelle. Would Tosh.0 even exist?

9) Greatest. Game. Over. Ever.

10) The greatest fight in the history of film.

11) He can always think about someone else's free throw problems

12) He can think about why Gus Johnson isn't doing NBA basketball...

13) The greatest Super Bowl commercial ever

14) Or to really put a smile on his face, the hottest scene from any movie. Ever.

15) Or he can ponder why I wasted everyone's time with this totally random post that was only done because I have nothing better to do in life.

Have a good night. Go Magic. Dwight, zone out. Think about anything else, except those darn free throws. And I mean...anything.
