On November 15, 1993, a 71-year-old man stepped up to the line in his local gym and sunk 2,750 free throws in a row. He walked away without a miss -- they were closing the gym and asked him to leave.
This amazing feat, which took 12 hours to accomplish, was witnessed by 10 people who submitted sworn affidavits to the Guinness Book of Records. The record was accepted by Guinness and he is now listed as the greatest free throw shooter of all time.
So, what was his secret?
"Focus and concentration," says Tom Amberry. "When I’m shooting a free throw, I don’t think of anything else. I am 100% positive I will make the basket. Never have a negative thought on the free throw line."
