It's bad...but not many people go to the line as much as shaq...and he's been at it for years now....they're are prob. worst free throws shooters out there...but he is at the line so much it's glaring.

not according to his coaches

How was working with Shaquille O'Neal? Was it tough?
– Raul Torres (Madrid, Spain)

EP: He was a good student, although not motivated. He did all he had to do and no more. He doesn't care. Seeking greatness in shooting is hard mental and physical work. He is an emotional shooter. He only cares and hopes he can make them when he's missed a whole bunch or when the game is on the line. He can't figure that every single shot is big. He knows he is bigger than the game and does not want to be a true superstar like Jordan, who wants nary weakness in his game. Shaq improved about 30 percent while I worked with him for eight months. A Los Angeles Times full page article read "Shooting Phenom Saves Lakers Season." I earned an NBA ring for the effort, but not one jot or tittle of appreciation from Shaq ever. Sad but true. You go figure.

They're playing hack-a-shaq right now so that number is going to skyrocket. I hate that this can happen in a game... it's just shameless

Rick Barry offered to help Shaq and guranteed that he would shoot at least 75% (or something like that). Shaq turned him down, saying he was from the 'hip hop generation' and refused to shoot underhanded. With how strong Shaq is and how huge his hands are, the Barry shot would've made shooting free throws about 100x easier for Shaq.
