Looks like infamously horrible free throw shooter Shaquille O'Neal may have just been playing the wrong sport his whole career.
At the Greenbrier Classic Pro-Am (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/07/shaq-is-better-at-shooting-golf-balls-than-he-is-at-free-throws) on Wednesday, the NBA Hall of Famer picked up his golf ball, set his shot and sunk the small white, dimply not-basketball into the hole in front of him. As can be seen in PGA's video, Shaq then proceeded to fist pump in front of a crowd of about a dozen people or so.
Shaq's free throw percentage is improving.

As the website Cybergolf (https://www.cybergolf.com/golf_news/three_mistakes_you_dont_have_to_make) noted in the past, there are actually only certain times that you are allowed to pick up your ball in the game of golf, so Shaq's free throw likely won't actually help his shooting percentage.
Bonus comedy: While playing at the tournament yesterday, Shaq also had a moment where he had to make three attempts (http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2015/07/watch-shaq-take-three-attempts.html) to tee off.
Actually, maybe Shaq wasn't playing the wrong sport to begin with after all.
