		Sharman later used the shootaround with his NBA teams in San Francisco (1966-68) and in Los Angeles with the Lakers from 1971-76.
		Sharman, typically, pointed to a difference in his free throw shooting as a result of this new exercise.
		Sharman led the league in free throw shooting seven times and says the free throw is a lost art these days because too many kids work on their dunks instead of their freebies.

	ESPN.com - The streak that won't be broken
		Though the streak began on a nondescript November evening, Sharman says its foundation was established the previous summer when he decided he wanted to initiate a morning shootaround.
		He thought early practices increased his muscle memory and confidence for each evening's game (Sharman employed the same routine in coaching the American Basketball League's Cleveland Pipers, a team owned by George Steinbrenner, to the ABL championship in 1962).
		Sharman never has been one to take too much credit for the streak.

		Bill Russell is the GREATEST BASKETBALL player of all time but he's not the BEST (that goes to the Big O) but anyway.
		Its also ironic that it has to be Bill Sharman, a former Celtic and Russell's teammate, now coaching the Lakers, that would instill the values of PROPER teamwork on the Big Dipper.
		Early on, when Russell was new to the league, the Celtics already had the seasoned backcourt of Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman and forward Tom Heinsohn--all three Hall-of-Famers.
