As a rookie, Dallas Mavericks forward and 2007 MVP Dirk Nowitzki had a 77.3% free throw percentage, but struggled in clutch situations at the line. Then he had a talk with his childhood coach Holger Geschwindner, who suggested he sing a song he likes at the charity stripe to relax. The song Dirk picked was Mr. Jones by Counting Crows and since his first season in the league. Nowitzki has never shot below 77.3% from the foul line in 16 seasons and is now an career 88% free-throw shooter. So can he still sing the song? Definitely kinda.
