Approximately 19 feet from the baseline, 13 feet from the rim and 15 feet from the backboard, the free throw line has been a harbinger of good and evil throughout the course of basketball history. On this day 16 years ago, the free throw certainly was “the easiest shot in the game” for Atlanta Hawks superstar Dominique Wilkins, who set an NBA record by going 23-for-23 from the line during a 123-114 victory against the Chicago Bulls. However, for Shaquille O’Neal, the free throw line continued to be a thorn in his side 8 years ago today when the Big Aristotle broke Wilt Chamberlain’s 40-year-old record of foul shooting futility by missing all 11 of his free throw attempts during a 103-95 Lakers’ loss to the Seattle Sonics.
