The world record for free throws is 2750 and it was completed in 12 hrs in 1993. The shooter, a retired podiatrist, said he could have made many many more had it not been for the janitor closing the gym.
According to his notes, he made 500 consecutive free throws on 473 separate occasions.
"A free throw takes six seconds, and you can't think of anything else during those six seconds," he explained to Sports Illustrated in 1994.
This mans ability to concentrate for those 6 seconds 2750 times in 12 hrs is absolutely astounding to me. Persoanlly, I think many of my misses can be attributed to concentration. This is something I am going to work on in 2017 for better performance on the pool table and golf course.
