Truth Serum at Fifteen Feet: Why Free Throws Expose Real Players
Update: 2025-11-11
Description
The free throw should be automatic — no defense, fixed distance, same ball. So why do even pros miss?
In this episode, The One-Eyed Scout breaks down the biomechanics, fatigue, and mental breakdowns that turn the “easy shot” into basketball’s ultimate truth test. From release height to composure under pressure, this is a baseline-eye look at who holds up when the gym goes quiet.
👉 Topics covered:
- Why a stationary shot isn’t simple
- The myth of “automatic” shooters
- The mental game — pressure and the yips
- Fatigue’s impact on form
- What free throws reveal to scouts about toughness and focus
At fifteen feet, the game always tells you who’s real — and who’s pretending.
