	That Shaq has 5,000 free throws made sure shows how often he's hacked

	kevin:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 08:38 GMT	16 points
	I'm pretty sure he's missed 5,000 as well

	[Deleted]:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 12:31 GMT	9 points
	I think Shaq is second in missed free throws - behind only Chamberlain. He's closing in on 5000 misses, but I don't think he's there yet.

	darth_shrimper:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 12:41 GMT	5 points
	I thought Shaq went through 5,000 in the last week or so? Either way, he's bloody terrible at them.

	gopaladins:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 13:02 GMT	5 points
	according to espn as of 1/13/2009, shaq has made 5569 out of 10580 attempted free throws.

	kthejoker:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 13:22 GMT	9 points
	The guy with 5356 retired in 1984, not 1974. Otherwise, that'd be reeeeeeeally impressive!

	kamikazepig:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 13:45 GMT	8 points
	Yeah, definitely not a six year career... I feel like such a loon. I'm 19, I got Paul Arizin...and I missed Kobe Bryant.

	This is basically the NBA top scorers list slightly rearranged.

	drhaase:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 17:06 GMT	4 points
	i can't believe i missed Sir Charles

	Sam:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 20:13 GMT	3 points
	Shaq missed his 5,000 free throw a couple of weeks ago which is when I got the idea for the quiz.

I put Shaq in as a joke not thinking he would actually show up. Wow.

	Loppy:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 21:59 GMT	1 point
	Shaq should ahve worked on his free throws before entering in the NBA, he would have a chance to be the all-time free throws made because he gets fouled all of the time

	Talick:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 22:30 GMT	1 point
	loll a lot of people don't even get 10000 points in their life, Malone got 1000 on free throws.

	Ecliptica:	Jan 14th, 2009 at 00:09 GMT	3 points
	Missed 5394, 5079 (never would've crossed my mind), and 5066. Not a tough quiz if you just remember the all-time scoring leaders :-)

	CarpeDiem:	Jan 14th, 2009 at 00:13 GMT	6 points
	Local L.A. Shaq joke: The L.A. Live entertainment/restaurant/sports complex next to the Staples Center is constructed of all the bricks that Shaq has thrown. ;->

	Vernon Gonsalves:	Jan 14th, 2009 at 11:12 GMT	3 points
	Karl Malone used to be prettty horrid at the line early in his career too. Almost Shaq-esque. Yet he still leads this quiz by a long way. Impressive.

	MisterDerp:	Feb 16th, 2009 at 13:04 GMT	3 points
	"The guy with 5356 retired in 1984, not 1974" You are 100% correct. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvin_Hayes

	Jamie:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 15:02 GMT	3 points
	Paul Pierce has passed Paul Arizin for 27th...

	drn211:	Apr 22nd, 2009 at 20:50 GMT	2 points
	@J Lopp If Shaq worked on his FTs he would be good at 'em and not get fouled as much

	Sneuticles:	Jun 5th, 2009 at 03:26 GMT	6 points
	I love how 1,200 people have gotten Karl Malone without getting Moses Malone. Last names only, people. Do yourselves a favor.

	RodBeck:	Jun 20th, 2009 at 01:47 GMT	5 points
	If Sporcle has taught me anything, it's to always guess Bob Pettit. ps. Pierce should be added to this list.

	bmo1616:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 15:09 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz, shocked Ray Allen is not on this list

	BeatNavy:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 15:25 GMT	1 point
	alcindor is not accepted

	KosMo_KraMeR:	Dec 9th, 2009 at 14:08 GMT	2 points
	ray doesn't shoot that many ft's...he's one of the all time greats in ft% though....pierce should be on there, dirk will get there soon, needs 90 as of yesterday. im really surprised alex english isn't on there....chet walker, that's a tough one even though he's a good scorer, one of only 2 bulls other than mj to score 50 in a game, still i wouldve never wouldve guessed him

Comment below threshold: show it

	scoonman:	Feb 21st, 2010 at 07:48 GMT	1 point
	I am tired of missing answers because I can't spell havlicek. You should be able to just type in Hondo lol.

	corybear:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 22:40 GMT	2 points
	Good quiz. There's a typo in the years for elvin hayes. He should be 68-84. It would have been hard for him to get that many in just 7 seasons!

	purplebackpack89:	Feb 24th, 2011 at 23:36 GMT	1 point
	yeah...a lot of the years are off...the one i'm surprised is not there is rick barry...prob bc he spent a couple of years in the ABA

	Eagle3:	Jun 22nd, 2011 at 18:07 GMT	1 point
	LeBron needs to take his talents to the free throw line more.

	TheBestDRose:	Oct 5th, 2011 at 21:40 GMT	2 points
	magic johnson, why is he on here, if it says he has 4,960 free throws.

	TheBestDRose:	Oct 5th, 2011 at 21:41 GMT	2 points
	Also, Shaq retired. So if you want to keep up with recent events, you should change it.

	ChiSoxND12:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 22:28 GMT	1 point
	Alcindor is not accepted because his name is KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR. Will people ever stop complaining about that? I don't get it, am I alone here??

	C0sbyHohSis:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 12:49 GMT	1 point
	A couple things I'd like to say; 1. I type in Alcindor because it's easier than Abdul Jabbar, and 2. I'm utterly shocked that Alex English is not up there.
