Dwight Howard Aiming To Shoot '75 To 80' Percent From Free Throw Line
Sep 28, 2013 11:37 PM EDT
Dwight Howard has steadily worsened as a free throw shooter in his NBA career, shooting just 49 percent last season.
 
Now with the Houston Rockets, Howard is aiming to have a career season at the foul line. His career high at the free throw line came as a rookie, when he shot 67 percent.
 
"This season, I want to win a championship," Howard said. "I want to shoot 75 to 80 percent from the free-throw line. I want to win defensive player of the year."
Howard left the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency in the offseason
 
 
LMAO. He's has a greater chance of getting that 4th DPOTY and NBA Ring before he even shoot 75 to 80% from the line.

Yeah, and I'd like American politics to become something more than futile, but that ain't going to happen any time soon.

Report: Dwight Howard hits blind FTs


Dwight Howard's struggles at the free throw line are well known. Turns out the problem may be his eyes -- and the fact he's using them.


Howard challenged Houston Rockets teammate and 84.2 percent free throw shooter James Harden to a free throw contest where both had to shoot 10 with their eyes closed. Howard came out on top by sinking eight shots, according to a report by the Houston Chronicle.
 
"I might have to start [shooting with] my eyes closed in games," Howard said, according to the Chronicle. "I have a good percentage. I am 8 for 10 with my eyes closed."
 
In his career, Howard has shot 49.2 percent from the free throw line but has said he has hopes of shooting at least 75 percent this season.
Howard, who signed with Houston as a free agent this offseason, said he's been working on his foul line foibles and had practiced shooting with his eyes closed.
"There is a guy who has the world record for most free throws made and he told me to do that drill and it's good for trusting your form," Howard said, according to the Chronicle. "You can't see nothing, so you have to trust your form and trust that it goes
