I enjoy watching basketball. The free-throw line is called by many as the charity stripe. When a player is fouled in the act of shooting or if the other team is over the allotment of fouls, the player fouled can shoot free throws. These are considered free points if the player makes the shots. Not only are statices kept on how a player does at the free-throw line, but the teams are also tracked. Players and teams alike take great pride in having a high percentage at the free-throw line. Many of us take pride in being at the top of our game in many areas of our lives. We tend to compare ourselves with others to find satisfaction.
