I'd like to address a whole other topic, speaking about things that need to be changed.

I play this game since Season 7 (including some seasons in Germany II), and I'm still amazed about the famous "foul-gene". I see guards with fabulous outside defending, centers with wondrous inside defense... And looking at their stats I see 4 fouls, 6 fouls, 6 fouls, 5 fouls... It really bothers me, because come on... In the real world, nobody would consider a guy commiting an average of 5 fouls per 30minutes a fantastic defender.



Depends... In the real world in close games you commit fouls at the end.
Depends on how the fouls are accumulated.

There are some players that you see in real life that would qualify as "aggressive". One player that comes to mind is Tyler Hansborough of the Indiana Pacers.

On BB, aggressiveness is a hidden trait and can work both ways (committing and drawing fouls). Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about such players, besides selling them.

All of this is represented great by JR Smith. Good jump shooter, but on the line...

Free throw shooting would would be 1st thing you learn here in the Usa, then dribbling then a jump shooting which is Free throw shooting.

You develop a form for accuracy 1st before you start shooting real jump shots. Those who do it the other way, jump shooting and then free throws are bad shooters in ft because they lack the proper form.

Guy's like Allen Iverson and Reggie miller never needed practice really only some warm up shots. They had all proper forms to shoot.

Depends on how they learned to shoot to start. Iverson and miller learned free throw 1st. But R.Miller practiced more than Iverson daily thus being a better ft shooter than him and 3pt shooter as well. But Iverson was better player overall, he got mvp of nba with no practice.

First player who comes to mind relating to this discussion is Nick Anderson. Very good three point shooter and scorer in general, but poor to atrocious free throw shooter.
