[Dennis W. Brandt]

Until Mark Price and Steve Nash surpassed him, the best free throw 
percentage in the history of the NBA (90%) was owned by Rick Barry, and he 
threw them all up underhanded.  Wilt Chamberlain tried that technique and 
half-dozen others, but nothing ever worked.  Had he been able to get the 
free throws to drop, Michael Jordan would not have caught him in points 
scored.  The most astonishing thing about Wilt's 100 point game in Hershey, 
Pennsylvania, was not the 100 points but that he was 28 for 32 from the foul 
line that night.  His career free throw percentage barely reached 50%.

And the underhanded free throw.
