09:21 AM ET 10.09 | Everybody takes free throws. Make 10 in a row, and you feel pretty good about yourself. Try making 184 in a row. And just to make it more challenging, step off the line every two free throws to simulate game conditions. That's what Charlotte Bobcats guard Matt Carroll did at the end of practice Friday. What finally breaks a 20-minute run at the foul line? "Boredom," Carroll described. Carroll left teammates shaking their heads in amazement, as assistant coach Phil Ford yelled out the mounting total.

QUOTE(#4):

Will this guy even get off the bench to get fouled in a game?

My thought exactly...

Not like he's busy driving to the hole in the 4 Mins he on the floor.

Tough to draw fouls when your Game is located outside the 3 Pt line.

Big deal. If it happens in preseason or practice it doesn't count. Slow news day.

What has me shaking my head is that this dude averages 1.8 ppg, and plays about 4 minutes. He's a shooting guard that averages 21% from downtown, and has a $4 million contract. Is this one of Jordan's illegitimate sons?

probably the only thing he'll achive in the nba

Whatever dude. Go ahead and add my record 25 continuous made free throws in the gym too. Guess I should a portion of your $4M.
