Anthony Edwards Changes Free-Throw Routine After Mark Cuban's Critique

Cuban characterizes his remarks as a push for consistent lane-violation enforcement.

Overview

  • The Timberwolves star said public attention to his habit of stepping over the line forced him to adopt a more upright, stationary release.
  • He described the midseason tweak as hard and said he now shoots roughly 200 free throws a day to groove it.
  • The adjustment has held up in games, with a 10-for-11 night in a 119-115 win over Boston and a 2-for-2 showing against San Antonio, bringing him to about 82.6% this season.
  • On X, the Mavericks minority owner said his issue is officials declining to call an easy violation, noting he raised it with the head of referees and that L2M reports ignored it.
  • Cuban first flagged the motion in a September Road Trippin' appearance, reviving debate over how consistently the NBA enforces shooters crossing the line.
