I was watching J.J. Redick shoot free throws in this vid, and I got to thinking. That’s something I really like to do. Thinking. What was I thinking about? Glad you asked! I was thinking that it would be really rad to have a J.J. Redick freethrow-ilation for this season. He’s shooting 94% so far, so I could show his misses also to really drive home the point that he rocks at shooting set shots unguarded from 15 feet out.
The only problem is going to be the commentary. With three-pointers, usually the commentators have something topical to say about the situation. Not so with free throws. Most of the time the just blather about some random topic, maybe five seconds after saying something like “And Redick hits a pair”.
Maybe instead of commentary I can use some really epic film-score type music to make his free throws seem really momentous and earth-shattering. When the music swells to its most majestic peak, that’s when I show the best free throw. Hell yeah. This is totally happening.
