Eric: No, no, no. You're free throw shooting, because there's nobody guarding you on the free throw line ... Dwayne: Really? Eric: ... or the foul line. You wanna be somewhere between 85 and 90 percent. Dwayne: So that means I gotta make a lot of shots? Eric: Absolutely. Dwayne: Oh. Well, maybe that's not my ... Eric: Can you handle that?
