Wilt's 100-Point Game
- Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a game while hungover, shooting free throws underhanded.
- This was remarkable because he was typically a poor free throw shooter.
Underhand Advantage
- Shooting underhanded is a more effective free throw technique, according to Rick Barry.
- It's a softer shot with more margin for error, increasing the likelihood of making the basket.
Wilt's Reversion
- Despite success with underhand free throws, Wilt Chamberlain reverted to his old, less effective technique.
- He acknowledged knowing it was wrong but felt "silly" using it.
