Are you the Best? Have you Learned how to MISS your miss...

Tulsa Celtics
Watched last five seconds of the Mavericks versus Indiana; Nowitzki was fouled intentionally with 4.3 seconds left and made the first one which pulled the Mavericks within TWO POINTS. After a long delay and many substitutions by each team, he attempted to MISS his shot, and hopefully trigger a long rebound that he or his teammates could retrieve. However, it was not to be. The Dirk went through his motions, cocked the Free Throw, and then made a Perfect BackBoard Swish (PBBS); he MISSED his miss. By making his shot (or Missing his Miss!), the DIRKSTER sealed the fate of the Mavs, who suffered the one point defeat, by MAKING his attempted MISS. The Dirk needs to Learn (practice) ,,,,how NOT ,,,to MISS ,,on his MISS.

Practice tip: How will you attempt to miss a free throw in the same situation? A high arching shot off the back rim? Passing it HARD against the front of the rim? Hard off the backboard and the rim? (What the DIRK attempted and failed at.)

John Wooden says he doesn't have to do that much coaching during the game because of the incredible preparation his teams do in practice. Since none of you play for Coach Wooden, help your Coaches by practicing harder and smarter on both your weaknesses and strengths.
