The NBA legend offers a unique solution for the fights of the New York Knicks Center

Rick Barry suggests that the New York Knicks Center Mitchell Robinson takes the lower one.

In an interview with Stefan Bondy from New York Post, the Hall of Famer offered an unconventional solution for Robinson’s fights on the foul line, which indicates that the longest-based New Yorker learns to shoot with singles.

“If he spent the low season to work on his free throws on his hand, he will be a very valuable goods for the Knicks next season,” said Barry to Bondy. “He will be paid for more money. So he should do it because it helps him to make him as a *** money and make him a better player.”

Robinson’s free suffering was a recurring subplot in the Knicks running. Her current opponent, the Boston Celtics, was more than ready to uncover Robinson’s blatant weakness and deliberately in the middle of Karl-Anthony Towns’ early evil difficulties to bring him into the charity, where the backup in the first three games is 7 out of 23.

At Barry’s point, Robinson was a differentiator for the Knicks since after a long medical absence due to an ankle injury on the

However, Boston continued to participate with the “Becch-A-Mitch” gambit and worked in her favor: Robinson’s current success rate of 28.9 percent is the second lowest in NBA playoff history among men with at least 30 attempts and only defeats Detroit Piston’s Star Ben Wallace in 2006.

The 81 -year -old Barry personally offered the Tutor Robinson and even tried to negotiate a floating salary from the Knicks in his interview with Bondy.

“Pay me how much he improves,” said Barry. “I guarantee that he will improve … pay me some money for it and then give me a bonus if he can.”

Barry was the best known for his efforts with the Warriors of San Francisco/Golden State and was perhaps the best -known practitioner of the sneaky free throw. Barry met over 89 percent of his attempts between the NBA and ABA and led the professionals six opportunities to the success rate, the second most common ever behind Bill Sharman.

The sneaky free throw also employed the NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain when the NBA legend fought his own notoriously poor single success rate by changing 1961-62, making it a career best 61.3 percent. Although he finally gave up the strategy, Chamberlain sank during his famous 100-point game against the Knicks in 1962 an NBA involvement record (by Adrian Dantley in 1984).

Barry himself was skeptical when he was taught by his father and claimed “girl shot”. However, the older Barry made an undeniable point that may have changed the course of the free throw history of the association.

“I didn’t want to do it when my father wanted to teach me again in the high school,” said Barry about Bondy. “I said, ‘You will make fun of me.’ He said, “Son, you can’t make fun of you if you do it.”
