Jimmy Lee was the best shooter from 15-feet I have ever seen. If
he got his shot, he made it. Early, middle, or late in games it did
not matter when. Jimmy had great fundamentals, he worked hard and
he shot the ball with great confidence. He was so consistent; if he
missed a shot you thought it was an accident. His thoughts and
techniques can help anyone improve their free throw shooting Jim

Jim Lee and I were contemporaries at Syracuse. He played in the
games I talked about them. I remember him as a clutch shooter (in
the 1975 NCAA Tournament, his 18-footer with 3 seconds left upset
North Carolina, and paved the way for Syracuse s first trip to the
Final Four). Since Jimmy was pretty close to automatic from the
foul line, just about every player, at every level, can benefit
from his advice and proven approach. Bob Costas NBC Sports
This is a rare book, because Jim is able to weave together
invaluable skills instruction with a very personal and informative
story about his relationships with teammates, coaches, and most
importantly his family. Jim s father, as both a veteran and a
person with disabilities, clearly served as an exemplar for Jim
with regard to how he approached basketball and how he approached
life. This is clearly illustrated by the fact that Jim has
committed to leverage the proceeds from sales of this book to
improve the lives of this generation of veterans with disabilities.
On so many levels, Jim s book is powerfully positioned to impart
lessons about basketball and life that are meaningful and timeless.

Fifteen Feet For Free is an easy read for all ages. It can be
very helpful for kids just beginning their basketball days, and I
can see a great benefit for more experienced players. The
fundamental instructions in this book can easily improve a player s
free throw percentage. Morgan Wootten 1,274 wins as Head Basketball

National Coach of the Year; 10-time recipient of Coach of the Year
in the Washington D.C. Area
The fundamentals of great free throw shooting are in complete
alignment with the values of practice, repetition, goal sitting,
and mental calm that successful business people employ. Jim gets
this and writes about it in an amazingly real and compelling way.
